Rasool eats humble pie!

Western Cape premier Ebrahim Rasool made a grudging apology yesterday for misleading the provincial legislature — but only after his own party pressed him into doing so.

Calling it “the most difficult day” in his 13 years in the legislature, the ANC premier said he was sorry for anything he had said that had resulted in “institutional tension”.

“I did not lie to this house,” Rasool insisted, acknowledging only that he “might have contributed to misunderstandings and mistrust”.

Hmmm... remember what his office said said just last week?

"We are taken aback by the story in the Cape Argus where the premier is reported to have misled the House,

...

"It confirms our initial suspicions that the entire process culminating in the ad hoc committee's investigation resulted from a political agenda."

The DA hate him because he is out to topple their Cape Town administration by any means possible. The ANC leadership dislike him because he isn't black enough. With any luck he will repeat some of his mistakes and be gone.

the DA does not "hate" rasool and i doubt the ANC dislike him, or will do so even after this scandal.

there's no doubt rasool has been trying to topple the DA led Cape Town administration, but the DA did not expose him merely because of that.

the DA is the official opposition - it is their duty to expose liars a.k.a. those who "mislead" the legislature, thieves and corruption in government.

the DA has, once again, done an excellent job and should be applauded for doing it so thoroughly.
