Helen Zille defends Mmusi Maimane, slams pro-Zille public poll

This is after a poll showed that DA voters were more likely to vote for the party if Zille would be its election campaign leader ahead of national elections on May 8. reported that a poll conducted by the Citizen Surveys revealed that DA voters were 58% more likely to vote for the party if Helen Zille led the election campaign.

Zille responded to the poll on Twitter saying that the DA took over Nelson Mandela Bay, Johannesburg and Tshwane in the 2016 local elections under the leadership of Maimane. led the DA into government in Nelson Mandela Bay, Jozi and Tshwane. I never achieved that, as hard as I tried. Let's all just focus on the next victory. And the next.The Sunday Times reported that a poll conducted in March showed that the DA had 24%-25% support from national votes.

DjNewSouthAfric I thought there is no surge discussion about DA, they always critisice ANC leadership as like DA is an angel Gabriel party.

DjNewSouthAfric Nazo, DA voters prefer a racist colonial sympathiser

Support small business

Media lies again

Looks like Mmusi is going to Harvard soon

Where’s “Mini Mandela” !? They’re on a campaign to pull a Mazibuko card on him ...

It’s not who’s leading the party, it’s the policies of the party that will win or lose them votes.

Are we believing polls now? I thought polls could not be trusted - asking for a firend

simaxis indeed we wil.

Indeed she is sharper than music no doubt about that

Wow great vote of confidence for manual

Lol remove that pastor n DA must be relegated to small party its not nice to see black ppl being used for white supremacy

This shit is unbelievable i love DA because of Mmusi without Mmusi its just as well we vote for De klerk again. Doubting to vote now

She is in charge of DA already

they got black people votes benefited from mmusi mayimane now they want to flash him like a used condom.and bring back hellen zille . Watch the space...

2016 you said, the DA was going to loose votes if HelenZille was the associated with the campaign. And now to feed your narrative, people will vote DA if MmusiMaimane is not the face of the campaign. Well, it aint happening, Mmusi is a DA leader and everyone is behind him

Say it like it is stop beating by the bush.....say white voters of the DA are more likely to vote for the DA if Helen Zille could its election campaign leader. Stop this sugar coating!

Mmusi is jus a Puppet.

😂😂she's the head of the DA

Hint hint 🤣😂😂🤣😂

MmusiMaimane you are just a token my brother...helenzille can remove you anytime she wants... Why trust these white people.

Mmusi riding on the back of whites, if DA were like anc eff blacks only he Mmusi wouldn't feature.

I wonder who did they ask? May I offer them CoconutKelz she will be brilliant

White controlled media endorsing its preferred candidate I'm telling you puppet leader is gonna be sent to Havard University after election, DA white can't pretend to understand anymore.
