Could Mbali Ntuli save the DA?

Ntuli’s decision to join the party’s leadership contest is timely. She has the credentials to help it return to its liberal roots, writes Imraan Baccus.Despite the leadership of John Steenhuisen, the DA has a significant presence of right-wing zealots who, like Helen Zille, have decisively moved from the South African liberal tradition embodied by Helen Suzman, towards a version of the libertarian wing of American alt-right politics.

Zille, Ngwenya and others in that camp engage in a form of race denialism that masks enduring racism and functions to legitimate ongoing white domination.In a country in which poverty is a deeply raced and gendered phenomenon, to pretend that race and gender are no longer relevant considerations in policymaking and public discourse is to implicitly endorse the status quo.

Credit must go to her for fearlessly building the DA brand in Durban townships as well as in the northern reaches of the KwaZulu-Natal province closer to her St Lucia home base. There must be something coded in her genes when it comes to the gangster swagger and signature nail art.His untimely demise shook up the young Mbali. Then came the family feud for control of his taxi empire.For Ntuli, having survived both the taxi underworld and a nasty family feud, liberal politics sound like walking a poodle.She went to a posh girls’ school followed by the bastion of white liberalism – Rhodes University in Grahamstown in the Eastern Cape.

Only she’s black🤷🏾‍♂️
