DEFECTION: ActionSA announces Athol Trollip as party’s Eastern Cape chair

On Wednesday, ActionSA chairperson Michael Beaumont announced former mayor of Nelson Mandela Bay and DA federal chair Athol Trollip as a new member of the party.

Trollip stepped down from the DA on 23 October 2019, moments after the resignation of then leader Mmusi Maimane. Trollip and Maimane’s exit followed that of Mashaba, then mayor of Johannesburg, on 21 October 2019. Trollip’s political career has seen him serve as councillor in the Amathole District Council, a leader of the opposition in the Eastern Cape provincial legislature, leader of the opposition in the National Assembly, provincial leader of the DA in the Eastern Cape, national chairperson of the DA and mayor of Nelson Mandela Bay municipality.

Said Trollip: “I have some history with the EFF obviously and I’ve learned some very useful lessons from interacting with the EFF.”

Your heading is misleading. There was no defection. Trollip left the DA in 2019 as you also point out.
