EDITORIAL: The DA is in a puzzling cul-de-sac. Regardless of who emerges victorious, it is key that the party continues to be strong enough to play a critical role in holding government to account and enhancing our democracy

Since its unbanning in 1990, there has been a plethora of stories about the fight for the soul of the ANC as socialists, capitalists, exiles and locals, and men and women tore one another to shreds.Recently the DA even dared claim that it was the only nonracial party in the country and had taken the mantle away from the ANC, which it described as a narrow, nationalist African party.

The DA lost support in the general elections in May and has since been on an alarming losing streak in by-elections. The party is in a puzzling cul-de-sac. It would be a great loss if the official opposition was allowed to implode.
