You say that yet @PrimeSteak is the DA laptop boy bombarding the thread with his pro-DA articles.

Stop moaning and bring us ANC or EFF articles, I suspect you will be searching for a while to find some good ones, lol.

Edit: BTW you should change the "DA laptop boys" line, you are easy to expose with a quick search.

He hinted that donors had dictated who ActionSA should partner with.

"Once you're a political party and you worry so much about what donors will say if you want to move left or right, it puts you in a very difficult position."

Looks obvious enough to me, I don't know why they waste time and energy denying it, ActionSA is captured, good and proper.

'Nonsense!': ActionSA hits back at Bongani Baloyi's claims that it is controlled by donors | News24

ActionSA has slammed claims by its former Gauteng chairperson Bongani Baloyi that Herman Mashaba is controlled by the party's donors and that his new party, Xiluva, would not take funds from corporate donors, so as to maintain its "political purity".

He is likely not going to gets a salary since the party is not in government, also likely that they are not going to attract big shot donors, can the DA people give the guy a break? He is doing his own thing and not saying anything about the DA, let it go now, release the man.

@TheChamp, oh political Jesus of our times. Praying forgiveness on the weak and unruly who have lost their way. Alas their redemption will not come from sweetness and pardon, but from swift retribution and reprisal.

I think the fact that firm control of the party is invested in a couple of people makes things easier, Zille will fire you so fast your head will spin I you start any nonsense.

The ANC used to be like that during Mandela's time, he simply told them, "we will never haves contest, Mbeki will lead the party, Cyril stop sulking, we'll fix you up with some BEE deal." Everyone was happy. When Peter Mokaba started some nonsense he dealt with him and when Holomisa got cheeky he expelled his behind.

Even Mbeki's reelection was also without any drama. What is happening with the DA simply points to the balance of forces being heavily stacked to one side, Zille to her credit has made sure things remains that way by sacrificing the growth of the party to keep herself and her inner circle firmly in control.

Wait until there is a shift and you will see, fortunately that doesn't look like it will happen in the near future.

Shame, these ou's always need to defend their low self-esteem and lack of competence by reasonably explaining away everyone else's achievements.

Matrichuisen and Matric-zzone have the same qualifications as some 18 year olds.

Bringing a degree requirement in will relegate them to the R350 srd squad.

It does not look good for Mazzone, even the buggers are now supporting Malatsi over her in the Fed Ex race.

She will have to dig into the networks for her next move.

President Matrichuisen can appoint her as the Grand Dame Ambassador to Italy.

NATIONAL CONGRESS: DA moves to quash voting system jitters after leadership contender Mpho Phalatse stirs ‘trust’ fears

The party has assured that the voting process at its national congress will be seamless and fair, despite doubts expressed by delegates and raised by federal leader candidate Mpho Phalatse.
www.dailymaverick.co.za www.dailymaverick.co.za

“Over the next couple of days, the DA will discuss and vote on 43 resolutions, seeking to drive the DA’s policy agenda and give practical expression to our values of ‘Freedom, Fairness and Opportunity’. The resolutions presented will build on, and extend, the DA’s policy offer for creating an inclusive society. The resolutions will speak to key areas of exclusion with a focus on how the DA will address them as a party of national government,” Krumbock said.

I think he is being slightly disingenuous though, there is a good reason provincial leaders publicly make their choices know, it's to whip their constituencies in line, otherwise they would just go there and vote for whoever they like without a need for a public announcement.

There has never been an upset in the DA leadership election, the people who are expected to win will always win, it's not going to be different this time, John and Zille are going to win, plus all those who are aligned to them.
