Black leaders in the DA want former party leader Tony Leon to explain the statement attributed to him saying Mmusi Maimane was “an experiment gone wrong”.

Cape Town - Black leaders in the DA want former party leader Tony Leon to explain the statement attributed to him saying One South Africa movement leader Mmusi Maimane was “an experiment gone wrong”.Future Tense: Reflections on my Troubled LandMaimane, a former leader who was at the helm of the party during the 2019 election campaign, has described Leon’s characterisation of him as not only offensive but dehumanising.

He said the issue of “an experiment gone wrong” said more about those who made those comments than those who were the targets of the comments. “Tony Leon must explain what he means by ‘an experiment gone wrong’. Obviously, some of us are asking what that means,” Madikizela said. He also said the issue of “an experiment gone wrong” undermined the DA’s processes of electing leaders and insulted the intelligence of all delegates to congresses.

Midvaal mayor Bongani Baloyi refused to comment but in a tweet said the comment could “be broader and actually refer to black leaders”.

Tonny Leon was telling the pure truth. Black ppl in DA are all their experiments. Now they know😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Where have they ever seen a chemist being accountable to guinea pigs? They need deliverance ya Doom.

So there's still black people in that caucasian party?😂😂😂😂😂

Why bother...... They must just resign enmasse!

Those fool s are pretending like they don’t know what he meant as if he was referring to maimane only

What a waste from those so called DA black leaders

Penny is starting to drop. The realisation that they have been 'used' to create a facade of black 'leadership' in the DA.

Experiments are boycotting 😂😂. Tony Leon must change the term and call their participation in DA leadership, procedure. 😂😂 The are procedure candidates. We know whites will never elect and trust a normal black person. They always look for Ja Baas, interior somebody. 😂😂

But they aint gonna do jack to him. He will explain, and explain, and explain...but dololo action against him. Obatswere ka di Mrs Balls

Let's put it properly and say EXPERIMENTS IN Our_DA ...that's what they are not leaders. And Tony is not alone in that school of thought. He and all his kind but he had to be the one who breaks the news.

So the DA has Black leaders?

Too ambitious Blacks in DA, its asking a snake, why is poisonous.

Ba phinde wena Leon nkare ga ba utlwe

DA is the racist political party. Those African brothers and sisters are there for feeding their families. Imagine following Tony Leon whose father granted the permission for Solomon to be killed. Mayibuye Africa.

Lol they are stubborn, what are they still doing there in the first place?

Botik61945648 To explain? Kusho ukuthi ayizwa lentshebe umlungu akanamfihlo.

There are no Black leaders in the Our_DA. There are experiments. Disposable pieces of unwanted things that are sor desparate to be white and they all ugly MmusiMayimane HermanMashaba

Instruments in LABORATORY

He said what he said why are the experiments embarrassing themselves by asking questions when the writing is clear on the wall?😂😂😂😂

🤣' black leaders'

LandNoli Hahaha those dum idiots! They clearly are not aware that Leon doesn't cater to their whims. So whatever they want means diddly squat to him and unfortunately they can't force him, lol. Jirre badom maan odarkie abakuleya DA yho

Why black leaders? Why not Steinhuisen ?

If whites were standing up to Leon the message would have more value. But an experiment questioning being an experiment is as zille say it bunch of lame ducks

They are not happy with the truth they want him to lie and say the valued members shame.

LandNoli Popcorn please 🍿🍿🍿

Whites are taking back their party as evidence in the provincial conferences of DA.

what's there to explain 🤣🤣🤣 he said what he said

'Black Leaders' for a political outfit thats championing a non-racial South Africa. DA was founded by Tony Leon's father, he has the founding ideologies & blueprint. Black people are to be used to protect white capital.

The Compounds are on strike

Guys Please 'Tlogelang dilo tsa Makgoa, Gale Makgoa, Ene le ka senne Makgoa'. Which part of this words You didn't understand 'Experiment gone wrong' which part.

The beginnings of Stockholm syndrome.

You mean other experiments needs an explanation?

LandNoli They stil want an explanation.. They r stupid cause Leon made it clear

LandNoli The word 'experiment' is there in the dictionary what the hell do they want kanti....🤷🏾‍♂️

😂😂 and Zuma warned Mmusi, kyk nou.. dilo diko strateng a re bua so.... die goeters maan 😂😂😂

“Black leaders”🤣🤣🤣🤣

LandNoli I think they've forgotten who Tony is, he's going to ignore them.

Idiots

Black leaders....🤣🤣🤣

What's there to explain? Everything is clear. They are in denial.

Why only black leaders if there is unity in DA

Hahaha they still want explanation 🤣🤣🤣

There's nothing to explain, it is what it is, if they're not happy with it, tough

The rats are angry for being called rats.

I continue to pray for you and with you in Jesus Christ name. Whatever situation you are going through, don't forget that Jesus Christ did not promise us smooth life in this world. However, he promised not to forsake us. God bless you all. Follow me and I will follow back

Haau! Madoda Ubhuza njani i bus li baliwe

🙌

Rephrase😂: “Experiments in the DA want former leader to explain”

They are crazy, Tony doesn't need to explain his views to anyone. I was one of the DA's experiment at one point, but I failed dismally, I'm one of those failed Cyborgs I was probably classified as Android 11. They must just resign and stop annoying the DA and Tony.

Tony Leon is a had been. There are great blacks, Indian, whites etc in the DA. The DA is the only hope for SA! Open your eyes. Tony Leon has sour grapes.

They are all experimental project

Maybe they're angry at the fact they're the continuously Failing Experiments.

What's there to explain CLEARLLY u r an experiment in Tony's eyes so please stop it and face reality 😩 you

Y'all want him to draw a map

When a racists person passes racists remarks what explanation do you need or expecting? Such 'indenial' is what's shocking for me 🙄 racism RacismReport DA

O_infinity That statement is clear.. They were using him, we to win black votes, (He actually managed to get a lot of black votes), and his time was done!!!!

He told them the truth. They are experiments 🤣

Is it because they do not want to accept that they are projects?

The white ones bona? 🤔

I think Tony is better he is saying it straight than hellen he is telling us the truth that we wanted to use you.

But the guy has been told even Zuma told him he doesn't listen.

Black leaders in the DA or test tube leaders? Poor slaves. If the master aint sick then, they are not.

fire him

What is there to be explained? Mmusi Maimane was an experiment. Where have you seen a person jumping into leadership like Mmusi did.

They have no clue about their own experiments...

They are all experiments Mo's🤣🤣🤣

They must just leave whites alone, why question him instead of living the party he founded

The problem with Africans in this country or even in the world in general, is that they do not have power. There is really nothing they can do to him. In fact he might be telling the truth about blacks in DA ans including work space like private sector and now even public sector

This is where I defend Mr Tony Leon how dare they act as if they didn't know that Black pple in the DA are just pawn they are just used for votes I mean look at the representation in Parliament ND it Federal Council

Tony is telling the truth... Black leaders in the DA are there for window dressing & fronting... They are being misused to get black votes and in return for nothing... just like a chewing gum

I have never heard experimental subjects asking questions on the desired outcome 😂😂😂😂😂

For The Fact That They Are Classified As DA Black Leaders Is A Clear True Meaning Of Expiriments In The Apartheid Party

The man who wrote this story is one of the biggest liars. In July 2017, he wrote a false story, from false information fed to him by Nomvula Mokonyane's cronies. The Cape Argus published the story. It's still there with all the false information.

Those black leaders must leave the our_DA with immediate effect and stop asking stupid questions

Why do they even want explanation He was clear on what he said, its either they remain as experiments or find refuge somewhere else😂😂😂

Those DA black leaders are ambitious

So they honestly think that they are leaders in the DA?😂

So the entire Federal Congress is a sham and there are no democratic elections in the DA? Interesting!!! Does this apply for all members, or just black candidates? Asking for a friend ...

UnmovedLee An explanation after such an insult, that’s mind boggling but I’m interested to know what sort of an explanation they are hoping for and what it would mean for them.

What explanation could there be except this was dehumanising and disrespectful.

I'm amused by the one that was forced to take a sabbatical. The writing is on the wall but she's still in these streets defending them.

Remember when helen Zille told them she will take away their sea views? Yeah, it was clear even then that they are experiments. The scientists own and control their 'treats'.

😂😂😂

So they still don't get it? They still want an explanation from baas about what we have been telling them for so long? So they really don't see what all of us see? That they are projects, assimilators? That DA was never for them or any other black person? Wow DAExperiments

The fact that there is a 'DA's Black leaders' is the first sign of experimentation gone wrong

Those black in the Our_DA are just enjoying sea view as per helenzille

Explain my ass!!!! The words speak for themselves. I thought we are dealing with PhD graduates in the DA

Experiments are asking for an explanation of how the other expirement is an expirement.

Why doesn't the headline read 'leaders in the DA.....' goes to show there are racial divisions in that hell hole

What’s there to explain? The man said what he said. 🤷🏿‍♂️

They are merely refusing to acknowledge that they are actually 'lab-rats'🙄

They must just leave that stockfella

What is there to explain...

They will get the explanation that they want but that won't not change them, they will forever remain experiments

They are waiting for their turn to jump into the test tube

mxm...those useles experiements...

He should tell them to voetsek!!

Clowns

If Leon does not explain then what? I suggest they do not accept the next salaries from the DA...........

What's there to explain? 😒🤔 Ba batla Tony a bue maaka?

The only explanation they should do is terminate their membership 😂😂😂simple, they must follow in the foot steps of Mmusi.

I urge all Africans to denounce their membership as they will be called names,, indeed DA is for other race not Africans, look where is Mazibuko, Moruti Maimane, Ma Ntuli, Mashaba and others 🙆‍♂️🙆‍♂️

I wonder Anc remains deadly quite this's a serous issue which needs our political leaders to weigh in hence it opens old wounds l mean to the true sense of it this old guy Tony leon talks nothing but apartheid

😂😂😂

Explain what exactly? Which part they don’t understand of “Mmusi Maimane was an experiment that went wrong”

The writing is on the wall nje

They want him to explain?

They must be idiots to need something so simple to be explained.

It will end in tears for the black Our_DA leaders bayo ba tuuga

Putting a grade 12 dropout in charge of a predominantly white political party with aspirations of governing a country is an experiment in and of itself ,am sure that's the view of Our_DA black caucus.

Nothing to explain there. It is clear that DA never liked black people. It used them as experiment to woo black voters. Mmusi and Mashaba saw it and left.

Why 'BLACK LEADERS' not 'LEADERS?

In simple terms they are lab rats, what more do they want to hear

So instead of following the Party's policy, the black DA leaders wanted to change everything into a Rainbow nation, even quoted Mr Nelson Mandela. That's why they wanted Racist Zille back into the leadership, cz they will always gv a Black person a folded hand.

TheStar_news bebeyinton entweni yabelungu

There are no black leaders in the DA, just experiments.

Shame...

Madam helenzille will send those ones for a sabbatical at Ethekwini College not even Harvard. Zille only want good blacks there by her party. if you start preaching equality, u will follow Lindiwe, Patricia, Mashaba, Maimane, Mamphele etc etc

TheStar_news Wait till he tells them they also experiments

What explanation? It won't change anything. They must just hang in there and be observed as part of experiment.

😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

They can't challenge owners of DA. it's their spaza shop. If they ain't happy they must find a new political home

🤦🙄🤦😤

Nobody: Absolutely nobody: Skinner rats: so Dr Skinner, what’s this we hear about us being a failed experiment?

There are still black people in DA?

Leaders? 😂😂😂You mean experiments

TheStar_news What needs to be explained nah? Do they want him to lie? He apparently said it...they must just be strong.

The main question now for Our_DA is Who is been experimented since MmusiMaimane left?

TheStar_news All of them are in a test tube in saying me laboratory 🤣🤣

Why are there still have black leaders in the racist party, black people mara sometimes🙄

How can the sample experiments ask the scientists to explain himself .

What's there to explain? That statement is straightforward mos.

What there to explain kodwa bakithi 🤦‍♂️

Nothing new there, they knew gore Mmusi was an experiment just did have the guts to say it.

And you think he will 🤷‍♀️

Why must he explain when its so obvious malema did say that before

Those black leaders are fools, why want a racist to explain why he’s been racist. Black people must stay away from the DA. Dear black people, stay away from white people. Racism is a tradition and it’s hereditary in nature. Stay away from racists

Explain...bunch of guinea pigs...

Avele athi NONKE

There is nothing to explain. They are refusing to believe him.

Explain what it is clear what these white racists think about black people in their party. Imagine what are they saying behind you in the party

Whites will never approve any African dark skinned leader

There are still black leaders in the DA? Thot they all resigned after this

I will always testify good deeds and very grateful to the person who referred me to Mrs Linda Stouffer who's a very reliable individual, the only person I've met online I can trust and recommend for investment Lindastouffer4

Did TonyLeon's statement make waves as intended? Was there a meeting in DA on strategic marketing to bring in black leadership & voters in DA? Did it work? Is DA now a formidable political force? Okay, now can we move on!

😂🤣😂You guys are funny

Was he lying

This man is irrelevant. He needs to just sit quietly next to the beach.

Explanation yokunuka They must just ship out from national party and go seek for proper jobs including my money himself bloody experiments

Lol.... Which DA leaders🙄🙄🙄

Haibo, Kanti uGog’ Zille use i chairperson namanje? Hai gogo thatha umhlalaphansi.

Lol, they want him to explain or what?... it's not like they will do anything. But I guess sincewell unemployment is so high in SA, they need to feed their families.
