Interesting. Wonder if the KGP opted to work with the DA? Or whatever happened for this to happen? Seems like a by-election will be held as consequence.

To be fair, most DA councils can champion points 1-3. How many ANC councils can say the same?

Dont feel the need to respond timeously, I understand you may have trouble navigating the pile of trash outside of your house.

Dugmore is actually quite good at holding the DA accountable. It's a pity that ANC WC is so weak or he'd definitely be in parliament.

Yeah, I do rest easy knowing that Cameron and Brett Herron are on the DA's case, I trust that they will be taking a keen interest in what exactly he is doing in the private sector and how does that link back to the DA.

They should also follow up on what happened about the other qualifications scandals, never give the DA a chance to sweep that under the carpet.

Ok, so Madikizela declined the job? So, all's well that ends well, I guess.

Also kind of rich to hear the ANC demand transparency...

One can write a book on that. I view those who make it it their MBB obsession of being critical of the DA as a positive. It shows they hold them to a higher standard than parties like ANC, EFF Good.

Oh really? So when DA fanbois here criticise the ANC, EFF and Good (which they do a lot) it's because they hold these parties to a higher standard than they do the DA? Great logic there, though it makes sense and has a ring of truth to it, I must admit...

No holy cows, the DA is a political party that is in government, it deserves all the obsession it can get.

I'm this case, is it not their duty to hold the DA accountable?

Remember that this is the WC so Dugmore is speaking as the official opposition leader.

If he just stays silent, he'd be essentially not doing his job.

Lol, the criticism of the ANC and EFF on Mybb is far more than the DA. The DA just happens to have followers on Mybb who are snowflakes.

I just found it funny still that the ANC is talking transparency.

Didn't say anything else, nothing about them being OO or not being allowed to act as OO?

Yes, it is rich as you say but that is what politics is all about, that's why the DA can moan about cadre deployment when it's done by the ANC as if they don't do it where they govern.

Quality over quantity. They govern in Ekurhuleni.

Source where they have deployed an unsuitable DA cadre. ?
