The announcement saw ANC president Jacob Zuma re-elected for a second term, with Cyril Ramaphosa his deputy.

After the announcement Mazibuko posted on Twitter: "Poor old Forces of Change. Though nobody could claim to be surprised by this result. ANC had real chance to change SA in Parliament and blew it".

@marupta tweeted DA leader Helen Zille and Mazibuko, asking them how much one should pay to become a member, adding: "It is time I stop voting on history but on good of the country".

Mazibuko replied that it costs only R10 to become a DA member.

@MoMadiba tweeted: "Where can I join in Soweto?", to which Mazibuko referred her to someone who could assist.

The DA leader assisted many other people inquiring about where in their areas they could be assisted to become DA members.

At one point Mazibuko's twitter account was so busy that she was trending in the whole country.

Lindi Mashinini tweeted: "You have my vote! I am not voting for Zuma as my president in 2014! For the first time in my life I am ashamed of the ANC!"

@newageadam suggested Mazibuko take out a newspaper advert in Sunday papers with the Gauteng branch's contact details.

Mazibuko thanked DA officials for responding promptly to her twitter referrals.

The DA City Bowl branch also tweeted that their inbox was "overflowing with people keen to join the DA".

DA spokesman Mmusi Maimane said he was also flooded with requests on how to join the party.

"It's an indicator of the fact that the ANC chooses a leader for itself and not one for the country," he said.

He said it has proven that South Africans think there are two parties in South Africa and that when the ANC cannot get something done then they look to the DA because "there is no other party that is taking on the struggle as they are".

I can advise DA to stop been opportunists and start deliverying houses for the people in Cross-Roads, how can you rule the Country if you cant rule the province? come on people, stop playing with our emotions, I am not saying ANC is doing better, but South Africans need a Good Strong Leader who can join the many cultures to work together, we need a Mandela.

The ANC has failed us again by choosing Zuma as the president.
But I will remain the supporter and will vote for it come 2014 rather than vote for the white party.

My problem is not the ANC but the individuals.

DA likes behaving like a vulture who will wait something to die to have a meal, why dont you come up with your own policies & stop waiting for those who have passed their sell-by-date. Four right wingers were arrested for high treason & terrorism & you silince is deafening.
