I've said it before, and I'm saying it again. Steenhuisen, Maimane, Zille etc. are not the DA. The DA is a large party with many members of different values, beliefs and personalities. It is not a dictatorship: presidents do not wield absolute power. If the DA wins, sure, Steenhuisen will be president, but the party will be ruling.

True. The DA is the only political party with a stable leadership structure where if Steenhuisen were to resign, there'd be a number of suitable candidates to take his place. Not so obvious in the case of the EFF and Action SA and to a lesser extent the ANC (generally the biggest political party would have many candidates, however, the quality of ANC politicians is so mind-numbingly low, it's hard to get excited by any of them. Same sh*t, different day in the case of the ANC).

Most parties have suitable candidates, the question is would the suitable candidates get the votes? In DA's case Zille's favourite person will get elected, not necessarily the suitable person, just like that experiment from Dobsonville.

I agree. Their structures are quite stable, if someone resigns, they can just replace them or in the case of the leader and many of the FEDEX resigns, they elect interim leaders and then hold a Congress as soon as possible.

All peacefully btw. And none of the ****, you'd see at ANC conferences.

NKANDLA - African National Congress (ANC) leaders from KwaZulu-Natal are visiting former president Jacob Zuma to seek guidance from him as a former party leader.

Zuma is currently serving the remainder of his 15 month prison term at home after being released on medical parole in September last year.

The party's newly-elected leadership - headed by provincial chairperson Sibonelo Duma said they have come to seek guidance and wisdom on certain issues.
ZUMA's ADVICE

Zuma advised on fundamental issues including the drive for unity in the party’s largest province.

“We’ve spoken amongst other things - the issue of building the nation, amongst other things how to make sure that you transfer back what belongs to the people of KwaZulu-Natal, the economy wealth and the land,” said Duma, following the engagement with the former president.

“He has also just advised us on how to unite the province.”
