Surely the last straw for all the Freedom Front aligned, right leaning DA supporters.

Looks like the DA learned nothing. Lets see how siding with the racist will work out for them.

I am sure Khume is just a rogue element who does not represent the views of Hen Zille's DA.

Absolutely. Whoever support these DA twats should read their minds.

Khume represents the DA perfectly. Hence the fallen DA.

POLITICAL NEWS - Gauteng Education MEC Panyaza Lesufi has received seven out of 10 for his performance with the Democratic Alliance labelling him the darling of Makhura’s cabinet.

The opposition party on Thursday delivered its cabinet score card, rating Premier David Makhura and all his MECs.

I don't understand. Did John receive the bribe? Or is mmusi still controlling the puppets?

The DA is not going to fall just because a couple of right wingers decides to go back where they belong.

DA shadow MEC for education Khume Ramulifho, however, said while there was no excuse for failing to follow Treasury regulations, it could not be said that Lesufi was a corrupt MEC who stole money.

Strawman argument, their exact words:

DISMISSAL OF MR PANYAZA LESUFI AS MEC OF EDUCATION IN GAUTENG

The civil rights organisation AfriForum would like to express its deep concern over Mr Panyaza Lesufi, MEC of Education in Gauteng, in terms of his mismanagement of the online registration system and placement procedure for grade 1 and grade 8 learners for the 2020 school year.

The ongoing struggle for placements affects children, parents and schools all over Gauteng, with more than 300 000 children who have not yet received any notice of placement in schools for 2020. Moreover, AfriForum received numerous complaints from parents over the placement of their children for 2020, despite the fact that these parents had followed the registration process to a tee. These complaints include, among other, that children were placed in schools which:

• Had not been one of their choices;
• Are different from where their siblings are going to school;
• Are not closest to their home or parents’ work address; and
• Are different from where they attended grade R.

It is also true that the Gauteng Department of Education (GDE) admitted that they had sent out two wrong SMSs to order parents to attend placement meetings at the GDE’s offices in Johannesburg on a Monday (12 August 2019) and again on Sunday (3 November 2019). However, at both these meetings nobody from the GDE was available to receive the parents and attend to their complaints. To add insult to injury, these parents were not even compensated for their time or travel expenses. A simple apology does not make up for the discomfort that they suffered or the emotional upheaval that the GDE’s actions caused.

You will agree that this treatment is unacceptable.


AfriForum foresaw these problems in May 2019 already, but despite numerous letters of concern to the office of the MEC, the organisation received reaction from neither the MEC, nor his office. The actions of Lesufi and his whole team are unacceptable and only one of many reasons why he should be dismissed.

Similar problems plagued the online placement system in 2018, but AfriForum was assured that all glitches would be ironed out by 2019. This has not been the case – in fact, there are more problems now than in 2018.

...

AfriForum also laid criminal charges of misappropriation at the Johannesburg Central police station against Mr Lesufi’s Department. This follows the Auditor-General’s 2017/2018 report, which states that the Gauteng Department of Education spent more than R900 million on irregular expenses. When previous financial years are taken into consideration, the Department is guilty of irregular expenses to the amount of more than R2 billion.

The complaints were laid against Mr Edward Mosuwe, Head of the Department. As Accounting Officer of the Department, the law requires Mosuwe to be charged

The Auditor-General’s report also made the following damning observations that relate to the Department:

• There were significant internal control shortcomings.
• Management did not compile regular, accurate and complete financial and performance reports.
• Management did not review and monitor compliance with applicable legislation and regulations.
• No effective measures were taken to prevent the incurrence of irregular expenses.
• The accounting officer did not effectively oversee the preparation of financial statements, performance information and compliance with legislation and regulations.
• The financial statement submitted by the Department did not comply with prescriptive legislation.

TLDR, they said he is an incompetent racist, not a corrupt thief.

So if you don't believe in the DA you are now a right winger. Typical.

It's an old article, the love they have for him runs deep, reminds me of the love the EFF had for Mashaba, it's very romantic when love transcends opposition politics.

We are long past the last straw.

No you aren't, however if your reasons are purely motivated by right wing tendencies, yes you are, let's not pretend like we don't have the group that is threatening to leave.

It's funny that the majority in this country believe the DA is nest of racists.

 

[TheChamp]

They won't win.

I am still standing firm, in case anyone was wondering. Afriforum won't win.

 

[wbot]

Well there's no surprise there. I mean the DA still wants to work with those other racists/criminals the EFF. All politicians in this country have lost the plot really. The DA especially is very confused I think

Yeah - even some hardliners paused a bit after this. I doubt if many declare publicly to be member of a afriforum - which kind of says a lot.

Who cares what the low IQ majority believe? Don't tell me high IQ minorities are stooping down to those levels of thinking, it would be very tragic.

Source?
Some people think they're a "nest of racists"
Some think they're the right antidote to ANC's corruption
Others have no idea who DA are
Whereas others don't care; as long as they don't vote ANC.

Majority? That's not true without stats
