In this in-depth interview, DA Federal Council chair Helen Zille offers a sobering view after the surprise ascension last night of her party's candidates to the Mayoral parlours of SA's leading cities.

Zille says negotiations will now be even more earnest as her party works at securing written commitment from potential coalition partners to ensure a stable governance structure can be secured.
