Politics on Tap
Today, Friday 29 May 2015, members of the Democratic Alliance in the Pretoria East region will host Politics on Tap, an event that seeks to bring South African citizens into an environment where they are able to interact on a personal basis, with their elected politicians.
This time, our panel will include the DA Gauteng Provincial Chairperson, Solly Msimanga MPL, DA’s Shadow Minister of Transport, Manny de Freitas MP and Mayor of the DA-Governed Midvaal Municipality, Bongani Baloyi.
The entire format of the engagement is to encourage the public to question, debate and engage with the topical issues of the day.
The Current Political Landscape
The members of the panel will give short opening speeches on their particular areas of expertise and their views on the current political landscape in South Africa before taking questions from the audience.
At this week’s event we will delve into matters concerning E-tolls, the state of local government in Gauteng and the upcoming local government elections.
Direct engagement with politicians is lacking within the South African political space. Politics on Tap aims to bridge this gap by creating an informal setting where people can participate in both social and political activity at the same time.
We encourage members of the public to come through and join us.
Date : 29 May 2015
Time : 18:30
Place : Pretoria Boys High Old Boys Club, 378 Queen’s Crescent, Pretoria.
