Fellow Politicians Mourns the Passing of Former DA Stalwart James Selfe

James Selfe, a revered member of the Democratic Alliance and a key figure in South African politics, has passed away after a lengthy illness

In the late 1970s and 1980s, he worked as a researcher for the DA's predecessor, the Progressive Federal Party, and fought against apartheid laws. "Throughout his nearly 30-year tenure in parliament, Selfe served on numerous committees, most notably the Committee on Justice and Correctional Services, where his work ensured fairness and accountability within the judicial system."Selfe's legacy is perhaps most profoundly felt within the DA itself. Serving as the party's first Chairperson of the Federal Council, he was instrumental in shaping the DA into South Africa's formidable official opposition.
