Article: DA leader Helen Zille must resign: CDP

DA leader Helen Zille must resign after a communications tender was provisionally found to be invalid by Public Protector Thuli Madonsela, the Christian Democratic Party said on Sunday.

"... Helen Zille can only blame herself for tweeting that she will resign if any wrongdoing is found in the Western Cape communications tender," said party leader Theunis Botha in a statement.
 
CDP...cant say I ever heard of them. Creep back into the hole where you came from!

Look...I dont think it was a bright thing what she did...making that statement....but I think she is a fantastic leader regardless with a even more fantastic vision for this country and its people....and the day she steps down will be a sad day for me....I just hope that Lindiwe can fill her shoes if she takes over.
 
Maybe Theunis Botha needs to read the DA response and wait for the final report before commenting on a leaked preliminary report. Clever Politics 101.
 
If I had R10 for every time Zille offered to resign and then failed to do it, I would be very rich.

She knows full well that the PP doesn't get involved in criminal matters and will not 'discover' corruption. That is for the Hawks. Zille knows this and is therefore always feels safe to make promises like that. Ever the slimy politician.

I see you also have not read the DA response yet...
 
All politicians are slimy, but at least this one keeps the really slimy ones in check.
Having DA advisers, paid by her, (3 of them) sitting around a table deciding on government tenders is keeping them in check?? Pull the other one.
 
Where is the corruption in this instance?
You miss the point. Perhaps, in the mean time, you should speak to the PP office and ask them if they ever deal with corruption. The answer may not be what you expected.

No, I agree with you regarding the PP and corruption. However, I'm willing to bet that if the PP says that there is a corrupt practice then the Hawks would be there immediately.

You either suck at math or have a strange perception of 'very rich'.

The point is the procedures to prevent corruption were not adhered to. If corruption took place, then the checks and balances were not there to catch it. Why do you think they have to adhere to such elaborate processes in the first place if corruption was so easy to spot?

The DA lawyers can't even find the particular piece of legislation the Public Protector is referring to. Hardly a case of corruption and, at most, a case of minor oversight.

All this despite the fact that the special adviser actually preferred an alternate supplier to the once awarded the tender.

Who won the tender and how is the basic question? This may be a red herring or a potential one.

Did he use his influence to get his pal's company in a better position? Questions, questions ... all relevant.
 
who appointed that PP?
..... and perhaps people are too naive to believe that woman is really protecting YOU. (yes, you :) )

from cele's case, I can tell you who she was REALLY protecting.
 
Oh Haai there... see you're still up to your usual tricks of trying to make a mountain out of what is turning out to be a very very very small little molehill...
