Democratic Alliance spokesperson Lindiwe Mazibuko says diversity is the cornerstone of the party’s strategy for growth.

Speaking at the DA’s Mpumalanga Provincial Congress, Mazibuko said diversity was about much more than winning more black votes for the party.

She says they are not trying to replace one race, language or gender group with another.
What needs to be done is far more complex and revolutionary.

She says the DA is building a party for all of South Africa's people, regardless of their race, gender, creed or orientation.

Mazibuko says once they have achieved this, the DA should be able to win 30 percent of the vote nationally and become the biggest party in Gauteng and the Northern Cape.
