About 100 people, said to be former supporters or members of the DA in Cape Town, joined the EFF on Thursday morning.

Among them were former Democratic Alliance Cape Agulhas Ward 1 councillor Warnick October and former Ravensmead councillor Freddie Kearns.

Back in 2014, Kearns left the DA for the Patriotic Alliance, founded by Gayton McKenzie and his business associate Kenny Kunene.

The group, from Ravensmead and Gugulethu, cited various concerns about poverty and service delivery.


However, Western Cape Economic Freedom Fighters head Bernard Joseph welcomed them with open arms, but said they would not burn the few DA shirts that were left on the table.
