Mashaba: I'll leave if DA is taken over by Right Wing elements

[R13...]

I see the DA review report by Tony Leon et al suggests getting in bed with the EFF was a bad idea. I expect they'll abandon Tshwane as well then.

 

[Jopie Fourie]

Great news! He is gone.

 

[Mike Hoxbig]

If he does then resigning is the right thing for the DA as it means he believes in EFF ideology more than DA.

Didn't the EFF have a lot to say about him when he became mayor?

So that's two DA mayors who have resigned as mayors.

They did. Claimed they would not support the DA if he's put forward as mayor. He did hold some controversial and anti socialist/communist views prior to becoming mayor. Looks like they've won him over to the church of champagne socialism.

They did, but Mashaba likely shared the gravy and so the champagne socialists were satisfied.

“Part 1, out soon, explores new evidence linking the EFF to Afrirent, the firm that won a R1.2 billion CoJ fleet contract we reported on last year,” the tweet says.

The amaBhungane report appeared to go some way towards substantiating rumours that “the EFF was given patronage over lucrative City of Johannesburg tenders as a quid pro quo for working with Herman Mashaba’s DA-led administration,” with the upcoming new report offering new evidence linking Afrirent to the EFF, according to the investigative journalism unit.

The new report picks up where one from last year, which offers evidence that the Joburg mayor bought the EFF's loyalty in Johannesburg, left off.

Well, this is their logo

Showing your true colors by only working for a "black" DA. Sis.

 

[The_Right_Honourable_Brit]

Why?

Because she acts like a EFF prima donna and creates fake race controversies (see Waterfront debacle). She also knows she will never really be disciplined due to her race.

Disappointed in Mashaba. Looks like he wasn't cut out for politics. Hope he recedes from political activity now.

God, don't give us Panyaza Lesufi as a mayor.

I dont know why News and Current Affairs has these threads regarding the DA.

People were very emotionally distraught on here when Aunty Pat was criticized, so much so they personally knew thousands who would change their vote because of it.

So I thought it was the Good party or one that needs a white bed sheet on here

Best thing he could do now if he wants to continue in politics would be to join the Good party

 

[ForceFate]

Great news! He is gone.

Surely not great news for VF+?

 

[Jopie Fourie]

Surely not great news for VF+?

There are no threats to the VF+. IN fact, they will only continue to get more DA voters. Helen is not the one to save the party. They have turned on their own voters and they will pay the price for it.

 

[LCBXX]

Fascinating how certain DA politicians, using journalists and social media, managed to cultivate this image that they're the future of the DA and under attack from right-wing elements within, only to get voted out and ousted by their own party.

Who was voted out or ousted?

VF+ is just like the ANC, uses race based politicking to get votes. 'Die Swart Gevaar'

Zille elected over Trollip, Waters and Walters . Mashaba now resigning over Zille's election. Expect Mmusi to do the same, closely followed by Van Damme, if not before.

 

[Excalibur]

This is an absurd belief from Zille.

#HermanMashaba “election of Zille as chair of federal council is victory for people who are opposed to my belief systems. I cannot reconcile myself with group of people who think race is irrelevant when dealing with social economic conditions of people”
