He added: “The DA will continue with its negotiations in earnest with the clear objective of putting together governments that give effect to the majority of the electorates’ rejection of the ANC and its management of local government.”

Selfe reiterated that there “will be no ‘purging’ of staff – every person who works hard‚ in the best interests of the people‚ and is qualified to do the job‚ will be welcome”.
