He wrote about how the DA has a moral duty to occupy the rational centre, and not pander to the left or right.
Maimane revealed that he had commissioned a review process - chaired by an impartial chairperson from outside the party - to ensure that they properly evaluated the reasons behind the result. All aspects of the campaign will be assessed. This has been endorsed by the party’s federal executive, he said.
Two words 🏃🏃🏃 get out
Shame
So he still wants his masters to continue treating him like a pet-puppy?...this is exhausting!
He is mad. He wasn’t in charge.
As much as u were goin around promoting ANC bt Our_DA nd HelenZille sabotaged ur mission, HELLen's tweets nje proves that party is racist yall shud stop luring black people I prefer FF+ they're not fakes they come clean they not ashamed of what they stand 4
Only strategy is, don't talk about other parties. Talk facts, then you will convince people.
M told that u r a pastor so my advise kegore just go n join ACDP n leave DA to the minority.
If its him taking final decisions on party operations on a daily basis then he is right , If he is reporting to someone then we can review .
U were not that bad u were telling the truth dont worry its a game.
We told him those stupid campaigns would back fire but he didnt listen
You still the best leader for the DA
The fact that majority of DA decided to give their votes to FF+ means a lot about their perception about the DA leadership.
What a shame.
It should not be this way. Whoever coerced Mmusi Maimane to be a fall guy has no heart. The whole admission from Mmusi is an act of sabotage, he could have told whoever forced him to take responsibility that he was not alone in the mess. What a tragedy!!!!
The ANC under Ramaphosa lost 5 percentage points and 20 seats with his predecessor Zuma doing much better than him … what a bad, unprofessional journalism
Nah its not fully Maimanes fault. 1. Zilles utterances on colonialism 2. Position on transformation and land 3. Election slogan and campaign message (ANC is killing us) 4. Lack of ability to relate and empathise with your black voters (This came throught strongly in campaign)
Nah, you don't have to otherwise De Klerk must also take responsibility for having 'sold away Afrikaner kingdom' to all South Africans even earning himself a Nobel Peace Prize as such an agent.
I am sure it had nothing to do with helenzille's tweets about colonialism or the party's stance on BBBEE policy. I know for a fact those 2 factors made me to not vote for Our_DA. Unless you are directly responsible for both factors, then take responsibility, if not SIT DOWN SIR
the real owners of tht party r nt givin ths young guy a break neh... nw he is shouldering the blame fr the otherwise poor showing at the last election like its only him n his emmediate family tht voted fr DA... mst be tough on his world shame
The heads of black leadership of DA will start rolling, They will learn the hard way not to trust these people (whites)
MpumiLembz you were right they probably will fire him
Angiti he's fighting other parties instead of fighting for the country
Go try Modeling MmusiMaimane
Who else would take full responsibility, the female pope?
MmusiMaimane must go and remove Our_DA billboard in Joburg and again the video at Luthuli house and he must go there daily.
Aya kwini
He is toast, and you know how these settlers love their toast.
No matter the whites could give U all what U deserve but U can't change Ur colour to be same like them,at the end of the day U will remain black,what happens to the black lady on front line of that organisation they sure here what they need from U as blacks,remain stupid
If bengiwulomfana ngabe ngiyazehlela umlungu akapendwanga unje vele umbala wakhe baqedile ngaye, ukukhuluma nje into abangavumelani nayo uzoxoshwa nawa esphongo
Well campaining against Whites it is obvious that he must take the blame
What did you do wrong and what action have you put in place to avoid the same mistake in future
The DA board is to blame not him, he doesn’t make decisions alone, because if he did then it’s his DA not ours He is a good leader for me. Jut need to be clear on their policy and make it a white party, coz I myself want it to remain that way
MmusiMaimane was warned many many times to not indulge in race baiting populist politics, but he wouldn't listen.
He should shoulder SOME of the blame but not ALL!
Then what's next for you Mmusi
I feel sorry for my black brother he has done very well. Those individuals who voted the VF+ and some for Good Party messed them up. My advise to Mmusi and collective, they must revisit their campaign strategy and stop addressing us abt the ANC but tell us what the DA stand for.
With the ANC at its weakest the DA still lost support. Maybe its time for Musi to drop that silly barack obama impersonation, or the DA will find a blacker leader.
Maimane Maimane people fail in life. No pity party please, be grateful for the little you got. You speak as if no one voted for DA
here is a guy putting himself on the UIF list😋😋
This guy must've been good with dictation at school.
A big shift from last night's collective responsibility...
Imagine if the DA had succeeded. It would been a collective effort and NOT him alone.....but now that they have 'failed', well 😏
Akaphume kontamol'khuni ozoba right
Because your manifesto is childish and ridiculous, filled with arrogance ,xenepbobic and hate for foreigners, tell me how mother Africa will allow you to strive.
Wow. He resigned? No? Oh, rite. No responsibility then.
Wicked man
Shame tog, the sacrificial lamb
A true leader
The DA says we collectively take the responsibility nd now Mmusi want to take it alone...
RanjeniM Especially for putting your nose where it does not belong like the WC
Some responsibility has to be taken by helenzille for her colonialism tweets. That wasn't going to win you votes..
SonjaPHD Time to move on I am afraid
We been expecting this to happen even if it happened DA won the elections, they were gonna take him down so we not surprised MmusiMaimane
FarmMurders SouthAfrica You smugly assert that I have no right to my views because I can’t possibly know what it’s like to be black. Yet you claim in the same breath, to be the arbiter, the expert on my own race, and therefore I have no right to speak for myself.
I'd resign and take sabbatical if I were him. Whether it's being denied or not some will blame him for the poor showing, also his voice will not carry any weight in the caucuses
Mmusi is a great leader, it wasn't his fault. It was the DA policies that lost many voters. Feigned racial outrage over matters where no one knew any details, ANC lite emulation, supporting race based policies when these are NOT things classically liberal parties do.
Why should u... the whole party is to blame
Haha no this guy is a legend, MmusiMaimane his party was responsible for the poor election.. And despite that he is willing to take the fall. That's dedication to a cause
Why? weren't you following orders from WMC? Planned negative campaign? the whole team should take the blame because if it was a success the whole team would have taken the credit. nxa they have changed you, you are not the same anymore, they must take full r for that
Then why is he not quitting. I guess he is waiting to be sacked with a nice gratuity.
MyDA MmusiMaimane for starters have a DA policy and stand by it... not to stop ANC or EFF
The stragegy of over reliance on the ANC's pressupposed corruption back fired. There's a need to rethink strategies that speak directly to people's day to day challenges. POLICY RETHINK
get new tactics of campaigning but not to just MYANC every time you talk,and stop promising jobs in every home on what basis
If he could join EFF or the ANC only then will he become a real politician and start speaking from the heart not these rehearsed movie scripts he’s been giving...
I think it's high time he starts his political party. He will have followers. He is bright
Yha boss you need to change that sangaoma
Ujaivela isonka ubra wakho 😁
There's no collective responsibility at DA?
I hear Boston is beautoful this time of the year
Remove ANC from your manifesto, billboards and pranks and who knows, you may survive the next elections
44 out of 10
MmusiMaimane is such a leader, it's just a pitty his in the wrong party, he could teach MYANC leaders a thing or two about accountability 👏👏👏
But I saw the federal council saying it's everyone's fault much like the ANC did in 2016
Times Lies
Orange overalls, handcuffs, Gupta statues at churches. ANC this, ANC that. It was a juvenile campaign to be honest. Cringeworthy at best. Wonder what lessons you think you learnt when it was all plain to see
🤔 Don't be a fool MmusiMaimane MmusiMaimane .You worked very hard campaigning, while they were sitting in air conditioned offices. You can't take the blame 4 loosing racist imbeciles to FFPlus ?I say good riddance to toxic rubbish. Don't be a scapegoat for white mediocrity.
Eish are they going to ship him off to the UK aswell. Hayi nee man. And here I wanted to belief otherwise.
Common now, get over it and move on! We don’t want to hear anything about the national elections for the next five years. It’s just exhausting.
Their focus was on stupid doings... how do you insensibly put up the deceased billboard and expect people to think that you are okay upstairs?
If DA had your face at their campaigning shirt 👕 maybe.
With that statement he demonstrates integrity and principle. What more can you ask for ?
It's your fault now? But when you win it's not
When it's a win it's a collective but when it's a loss it's an individual who must take a fall?
Am sure ppl wanted to vote for u, just didn’t know your face.fix the T-shirt
Full responsibility for what. Racist members only left for VF.
Bye bye DA you had your chance. Stop doing postmortem now.
But we been telling them DA that their strategy is not gonna work. ANC this... ANC that... Aowa!
Why are people upset with MmusiMaimane for the Our_DA ‘s decline at the polls, when in fact it’s all down to how immensely unlikeable helenzille and her borderline racist views and opinions are? Helen is the reason people just couldn’t see themselves voting DA, not Mmusi.
That's what a Leader does,at least your team is supporting you and takes responsibility for all this,now take a baton and move ahead 💙💙💙💙
Poor MmusiMaimane
Damn skippy it's all his fault, he ran a poor and and a childish campaign, every platform he was talking about ANC and EFF, imagine a slogan saying stop ANC and EFF without talking about his values and future plan, only a fool and a racist will vote for DA
Don’t
He was forced to take full responsibility folks 🤞🏽
Slave and the Master.....black child!!!!!!
Ohhhhh nayi I 'yes baas'
Shame poor Mmusi
PlanetChill Mmusi is doing what a responsible leader does. He takes responsibility! He cannot keep mam from tweeting or saying shit.He is smart.He Is not corrupt.He has integrity! We must give him a chance. Just like the rest of the country is giving a corrupt party like the ANC a chance.
It's called manning up, there will be consequences chief uyahamba, you gave it your all.
No Mmusi its the ANC fault u lost votes. Or u did take votes frm them to EFF coz no mention of DA strategy in the last month only ANC this blah blah.
They have to stop have several candidate, other one is busy on the streets of Khayelitsha, Soweto n PE while is secretly relaxing.
And IF they improve in next election, it will be a collective effort 😀😀
MmusiMaimane you must understand that making noise without saying anything it's not politics, hope you have learned a lesson and next you will do things differently.
DA is losing because of gog helen, maimane don't have that impact to make people walk away
He can now resign
Picture says 1000 words
I'm waiting for his formal resignation.... It will show remorse and taking full ownership.... No apology will make for the loss Our_DA have suffered 🙄🙄
Maimane never listens and never learn. He is silent when he should speak out, he speaks when he is not supposed to. Eish but that hide-and-seek games he plays. My gosh and the skill to walk into traps 😱. This is another trap. He is a slave now.
How so mara? What else was he supposed to do?
I warned him, stop lying to people!!!! He didn't listen... The DA will never recover from this.
It can't be that you take responsibility for this. The DA declined because some racists who can't allow themselves to be led by a black man left the organization and went to an even more racist organization, hence the ff+ improvement.
How do you take full responsibility when you weren't making any decisions. Stlaela ntwe
A rare picture of an animal called the DA DAFedex
Because all people heard was ANC corruption this, ANC that... I was even starting to think that's DA's manifesto. I hope the whites didn't convince you to take the blame, bazakunyisa abelungu mntase.
A rare picture the animal called DA DAFedEx
PromiseOzuzu But that is embarrassment,you are forced to stay back while Trollip came to defend you as a leader of a white dominated party,Who is actually in charge?
Yes it is his fault. As a leader he failed to call madam to order with her silly tweets. He took a stand on land with racists. Telling our people about title deeds. As if you can get financial assistance from banks through Bond while unemployed. RDP Bond nogal. O tlwaela masepa
Never underestimate people. You can’t blame ANC always when you are given a platform to address the nation.
Ok so now what
Appalling leadership capabilities. What a waste, can I speak to the manager please
This is now sad💔 It's not his fault though🤷♂️
Honourable and rational. Distance yourselves from all trappings of neoliberalist policy: cozy policies wrt to western adventurism including the pariah Apartheid settler state of Israel, stand firm against unnecessary constitutional change including anti-constitutional racism BEE
MmusiMaimane you did well, votes lost the FF, are racially based, that you can never change, remember one sa 4 all is a dream / vision, not shared by everyone, and is not a reality. Loosing to EFF is obvious, LAND, you guys are mute, then you are face, the BEE of DA.
Not his personal fault though.
You were ill advised by your handlers to shout your liberators
So step down...
We all knew he was fronting and it didn’t work now they have to let him go
You were busy kaloku searching for muthi to win the elections 😂😂
You were busy criticising ANC, putting stupid billboards all over the country remember?
Moruti Bagaetsho
I am just surprised that they did not see this one coming...
The master has spoken, what else can you say
Like a compass needle that always points north, a white man's accusing finger always finds a black man
Lol o tshaba makgowa maan
I can smell a , Fellow South Africans , Speach coming soon
Join ANC Mmusi.
Good leader
So all this negative campaign strategy of annoying voters with calls about other political parties was all Mmusi' ideas, alone?
Neli_Ngqulana Shame you tried by all means but your bosses gave you wrong direction
Just an obedient house nigga!
Sounds scripted.... Don't do it man...it's a trap!
Bathong!!!
The DA sheds racists’ votes to VF+, has to deal with Hellen “colonialism had positives” Zille, “I share Apartheid nostalgia” Barnard, scores own goals with the stupid and racist ousting of De Lille BUT Maimane must take responsibility? What nonsense is this. Jerr the blue party🤦🏽♂️
This smells like a masterful exit strategy... 🤔😏🚶🏾🚶🏾🚶🏾
helenzille your colonial tweets cost the DA, the exit of Patricia too.
Not sure if that's fair. Overall I still don't know what the DA stand for besides being against anything ANC vs focussing on similarities that grow the economy and enhance quality of life for constituents
Spent so much money attacking ANC
It's the pointless finger pointing campaign, a brainchild of your masters that is to blame, not you Mmusi. They're trying to fast track to Havard now.
Mare it’s a lesson tlogelang dilo tsa makgowa
Step down MmusiMaimane you gave people false hope!!!
It’s not your fault when scumbags decided to vote for VFPlus
QaanitahHunter Mmusi is still your. He will grow as a leader. Give him time and support. Don't throw him under the bus.
SegopotjeNkadi3 Mmusi o bona marago a noga thwii
Oh well.... guess he is already looking for a job
Ereng Harvard mongwaneng
RanjeniM MmusiMaimane what does taking full responsibility for the poor showing during elections means, are you going to step down or what does it mean just say it publicly and that is it
Our_DA must decide on whether they’re centre right, centrist or purely right wingers. They can’t be all at the same time. Take a principled decision like EFF and watch your party stabilise or grow. Pleasing everyone is just not possible. Time to reposition yourselves folks ...
That's Leadership
Akamuncu, making himself a scapegoat
Leadership 👏👏
Sorry for him but he is still young. This is polotiki is a dirty game
Good this is what you get when you busy focusing on ANC, ANC, ANC instead of focusing on your DA
As much as there exist many people who would like to pin the failure ‘tail’ on you Mmusi I do think the DA’s decline was a collective effort by the leadership. The real balance of power in the DA sits with the party’s whole executive not solely the leader.
Too much concentration on the other parties instead of delivering what he plans for the country. Results shows. We all know about the other parties , tell us what you plan on doing different.
RanjeniM MmusiMaimane mebe rethink your populist race baiting tactics. They did not work. It only made the da look like a mini anc. Also sort out the divisions in your party
That's the price you pay for betraying the struggle and radical economic transformation for black people Mmusi DA timeslive
DA loss is because of his arrogancy
This. This is why I like him. No one else in national leadership takes one ounce of responsibility for anything. Ever.
Off to Harvard with you! 😂😜
I am shocked to hear that...i thought it was a team and collective effort
RanjeniM So, he failed as an individual. They must fire him now
Can i him to night school?

'Elections were tough,' says Mmusi Maimane after DA support dropsDA leader Mmusi Maimane says he is not worried that the DA's failure to significantly increase its support in this year's elections will cost him is party position. Well you know if potential voters tell you to give them an authentic and distinct message about what YOUR plans are maybe you aught to listen. Nothing was tough. Expropriating land without compensation angered many whites hence they voted for VF Plus and other parties. I wonder if you will still be at the DA helm after these elections.

DA 'old guard' bays for Mmusi Maimane's bloodDA leader Mmusi Maimane's future is expected to come under sharp discussion at a crucial meeting of the party's federal executive (fedex) tomorrow, after the DA's poor showing in this year's general elections. helenzille , took 5% of the votes by her colonial tweets. MmusiMaimane , lost 3% of afrikaners because they will never vote a part with swart predikant. All these are beyond his control. Helen started with colonial tweets after the good performance in municipality elections. The old guard, Natasha9Mazzone &others, where were they when MmusiMaimane and team tirelessly worked thru out the campaign? If they axe him watch the great exodus of BMC from DA. The gains achieved over yrs will be totally reversed. ANC elders did even better campaigning🚪2🚪. he doesnt listen u Dumelang we told him haba morate labantu
