Emphasising that DA leader Mmusi Maimane would remain put until the party’s next congress in 2021, DA federal chairperson Athol Trollip told Monday’s media briefing on the federal executive’s elections post-mortem: “
These disjunctures illustrate internal tensions and dysfunction. And with a review to get underway, the future of the party will rest on how this factionalism is resolved.We cannot afford to undertake a period of self-destruction. We also cannot afford not to undergo a period of constructive change.
And in many circles, there is anger, not over Maimane’s leadership as some would have it, but at those who crafted and directed the national DA election campaign.they had operated as instructed on the campaign trail. The bottom line: if the DA message didn’t find traction, then those who crafted it cannot escape responsibility and accountability.
A call for the resignation of Moakes and, according to some, also Boughey, is being made in some circles of the DA. That did not come as a surprise to Moakes, who toldon Tuesday he was looking forward to participating in the review announced after Monday’s federal executive meeting.
It remains to be seen whether Ngwenya will be present on 22 May when MPs are expected to be sworn in. Her ultimate decision may signal the disquiet, if not dissatisfaction, within the free-market, libertarian grouping in the DA with a more social-justice-oriented opposition.
