‘I believe I am a threat especially to the ANC’ – legal adviser who became DA legislator

The 29-year-old law graduate is one of the DA’s four members of the provincial legislature, something he strongly believes the governing ANC was not pleased about.

Although he was one of the go-to officials on legal matters for politicians and managers in the legislature, it was not always a pleasant experience working with committees, which are made up of multiparty groups of legislators. “There were those ANC members of the legislature I was close to who committed themselves to assisting me get a higher and better-paying position in the legislature if my decision to join the DA was based on finances. But I refused all offers because – after consulting my family – I had made up my mind.”

“I might be a new member of the legislature, but I bring with me institutional memory and can always refer to the previous administrations. I have been accused of stealing or leaving with information when I was exposed to some issues many expected I would not to be aware of.” “I speak out on many issues, but I am not a vendetta-driven person. My mission is to ensure that things are done accordingly,” Sonakile said.

Born in Zamdela township, Sasolburg, in the Free State, Sonakile obtained his LLB degree at North-West University in Mahikeng.

It's about choices if u voluntarily chose to join DA it's ur choice, not ANC choice. We are living in a democratic state. Your own individual choice must not be influenced by ANC it's own choice
