DA to seek legal advice on way forward following Maimane, Trollip resignations

Helen Zille says this is an unfortunate turn of events in the history of the DA.‘s Federal Council Chairperson, Helen Zille says they will meet on Thursday to discuss seeking legal advice on the way forward for the party.

She has conceded that the resignations of two party leaders come as a shock. This is after Mmusi Maimane resigned as the DA’s leader and Athol Trollip as Federal Executive chairperson. The move is widely seen as a heavy blow, which the party will find difficult to deal with. Maimane and Trollip announced their resignations at a media briefing at the DA’s headquarters in Bruma, Johannesburg earlier on Wednesday.

Zille says the party’s Federal Executive was in favour of making a decision about its leadership at the federal congress instead.Zille says this is an unfortunate turn of events in the history of the DA – hence the uncertainty on the way forward.“This is a rather unusual situation because both the leader and the chairperson have taken individual decisions at the same time.

Magogo Zille supposed to work at NGOs for human right if she was honest not being racist. Not rejoining DA n become leader again. She doneit good b4. Time for her to rest or work at less stressful projects.

Zille brought division and place the party in disrepute. I don't think DA will make it going forward. It will never rule this country in our time. That's a clear msg from DA white people of disrespecting other people. Let's wait n see.

Good for the DA what about your ANCBC

Top leadership of the so called progressive party dont know their own Constitution?

This woman has a problem.

She will be the leader by Friday. Zille was good during her time did her time but like it is said 'A good thing is not repeated by same person'

Race fronting political advice.

This could be the end of the DemocraticAlliance in South Africa

helenzille finish them Gogo... Blacks must know their place.

Trollip is a brother, we have a special seat for you in the EFF

Maimane, Trollip step down from running DADA leader Mmusi Maimane has resigned from his post, ending weeks of speculation about his political future, which had escalated since the election of former Western Cape premier Helen Zille as party federal chairperson at the weekend.

Zille says 'challenging road' ahead for DA after Maimane and Trollip quit | IOL NewsDA Federal Council chairperson Helen Zille has said the decision of Mmusi Maimane and Athol Trollip to resign meant there ... Well she is a big gurl! Remember it is only under her that DA votes rose to highest peak since DA was formed up to now. She was able to get the black vote as well as maintaining the white vote. So, you resign conveniently after a report on your misconduct suggests that you shoukd be removed from your position. Mmm interesting that you now blame others undermining you!

Mmusi Maimane, Athol Trollip both step down from DAMmusi Maimane has stepped down as the leader of the DA effective immediately. His resignation was followed by that of former Nelson Mandela Bay Metro mayor Athol Trollip. Dressed in black suit on a DA podium covered in a black plain cloth, a sombre Maimane said he was not a career politician. He said that he joined the DA as he believed it was a true opponent that could remove the ANC from power. Their faction lost anyway Ooh well... That's the end of the Road for Musi as DA leader. Some of us predicted it from News 24's The DA's: Steinhoff link of September 29,2019 It was quite obvious from the word go. 2019 Election Results Just a smokescreen! Smoke and Mirrors!!!

Double whammy for DA as Maimane and Trollip resignThe DA has suffered a double whammy with the resignation of its leader Mmusi Maimane as well as federal chairperson Athol Trollip. Let's make some correction....'After being FIRED'..... The DA matter is all about race! Trollip’s name, though he was chairman, did not appear in the recommendations. He (Trollip) saw this racist agenda and decided he was not going to be part of it. Hence he resigned 🙈 Did she no hear him say ‘If Mmusi goes....I go!’

DA federal chair Athol Trollip quitsDA federal chair Athol Trollip has quit alongside party leader Mmusi Maimane So it is true that Zille is the alfa and omega of DA. I didnt realise that before Okay wait, who is the chair, party chair, federal chair, Mein Kampfy Chair(?) of that party, and what does it all mean?
