The DA's Gauteng leader, Solly Msimanga, is going ahead and forming his shadow provincial Cabinet and will fight the ANC in the province as an opposition party.

"We never fought for a particular department. We said there should be proportional representation. We were not at any particular departments yet; we were still at how to deal with government.

"Once you know how to share power, then the issue of portfolios will come. Once you know which portfolios you want to get and what kind of impact you can put into those departments, you can better deliver services to the people," he said.
