2019 ELECTIONS AFTERMATH: DA post-elections reckoning: Maimane leader till 2021, but party review to followDA leaders spent Monday behind closed doors in the discussion of the party’s disappointing election results — before emerging with the confirmation that leader Mmusi Maimane would remain in his position. But a comprehensive review of the DA’s structures and processes, last undertaken 15 years ago, is to follow. becsplanb Helen Zille's 'back seat' driving the DA is sorely needed right now.

2019 ELECTIONS AFTERMATH: The world dissects South Africa’s latest electoral foray, but not entirely accuratelyThe just-completed South African election proved a challenge for foreign reporting as the question at hand was not really about who was going to win. Accordingly, foreign journalists often fell back on the old standbys of describing this starkly divided society, a tale of two cities, but on a national scale.

2019 ELECTIONS AFTERMATH: White anxiety and the rise of the Freedom Front PlusThe FF+ slogan, ‘Slaan Terug’ (Fight Back), and its media managers’ digital and physical campaigns in the party’s green, orange and white posters, which mimic the colours of the old Afrikaner republic ‘Vierkleur’ – four-colour flag – saw its election plans fly. The party hurt the DA’s ambitious campaign to win three provinces – but, as one observer notes, most Afrikaners still voted DA. ferialhaffajee I'm not a VF+ supporter but saying their logo resembles the Vierkleur is a bit of a stretch. Only green (different shade) and white (which doesn't really count) are common to both. Cope, with red too, is closer to the Vierkleur!
