The DA is seeking legal advice on whether former leader Helen Zille can contest the position of federal chair, Business Day understands, days after she threw her name in the hat for arguably the most powerful position in the party.
Zille could be barred from contesting the position with other party heavyweights, including federal executive chair Athol Trollip and his deputy, Thomas Walters, after reaching a settlement in January 2018 with the DA to step down from all structures following her comments on social media that colonialism was not all negative.
This will end the DA ... new blood, fresh blood... I mean goodness surly there is someone else “eligible”
Messy
It should not be just a legal matter,if must be a policy matter that a former leader who served two terms can only be an Ex-Officiou member of the Federal Council.Zille thinks that because she supported MMUSI,she owns him...That is how WHITENESS works.
You mean Athol and the 2 Ws are trying to keep her out of the contest? 🤔
Position monger!
Helen hahahahahahahahaha.
A decade ago, Helen Zille spoke about the 'realignment of SA politics'... don't like expressing my political views in public but the DA needs to realize it's doing a disservice to SA liberalism. I hope Zille returns, we urgently need a stronger, principled DA
Good DA block he, you don't need her divisive actions.

Seeking legal advice? Rather seek the views of the electorate. Will this make the DA more electable? Probably the opposite
She's the best this one
What legal advice.?.
😏
🤦🏻♂️
All these political parties are becoming a mess. Self interest and ppwermongering are beginning to define our politics
what an utter mess!
What a joke...and the DA claims its stands for progress & change......case of more things change the more they stay the same (& reverse)...DA now renamed the Dinasaur Alliance

Zille announces intention to lead DA’s federal council | News | Politics | M&GFormer Western Cape Premier and Democratic Alliance leader Helen Zille on Friday announced that she will be contesting the party’s position of federal executive chairperson left vacant after James Selfe’s resignation. Ozupoka lo gogo masefile 🤞🏽 Am I surprised NO , do I care NO, am I concerned NOT at all! Will I care if she contested any positions within the party, less bothered! Our Lives matters most than what she intends to do with her party. Mugabe believed ZANU PF is his, he died lonely and bitter person. helenzille is just like the ANC comrades they want to die in office, they refuse to allow young people to take this country forward, they want to remain relevant at all costs.
