This particular elder does not seem able to make peace with the fact that the Frog Boiler did something that he was unable to do, outsmart Zuma and his gang.

He tried the Capitalist Party (Purple Cow). A few Mybb favourites like Roman Cabanac backed it. Cabanac was a Premier Candidate IIRC.

oh ok. I heard of purple cow but Kanthan didn't ring a bell. Did they even get 1000 votes ?

Has @PrimeSteak gone MIA? I see he hasn't posted since Tuesday.

They got 15k actually which was better than I expected but none of them even mention it now (it's as if the party never existed) so it was embarassing for them.
There was also speculation it was a setup meant to steer the DA further right because at the time, there was concern it was going too left under Maimane. Some like Cabanac have since also warmed up to the DA again.

He was never the same after Makwarela defeated Cilliers Brink, I think the latest stunt by the DA in Tshwane that led to the ATM guy being elected just took the wind out of him.
But he will be back

Note that one of the top officers implicated is Fannie Masemola, the National Commissioner. He's the one de Ruyter briefed on corruption at Eskom.

DA should treat all councillors accused of crime the same - CCC's Adams

CAPE TOWN - Cape Coloured Congress (CCC) councillor in the City of Cape Town Fadiel Adams said that the double standards employed by the Democratic Alliance (DA) to deal with its black councillors was very disturbing.
This follows the suspension of Mayco member for Human Settlements Malusi Booi following fraud and corruption allegations. His office was raided by the police on Wednesday where laptops and other devices were confiscated.
Adams said that it was surprising that Booi had been suspended without being charged while DA councillor Nora Grose still held her position.
Grose is out on R10,000 bail after she was arrested for fraud and money laundering.
