JOHANNESBURG – Johannesburg Mayor Herman Mashaba said he would leave the Democratic Alliance if the party was taken over by what he called right-wing elements and expressed concerns over the direction his party was taking.He touched on a number of thorny issues within the DA including transformation, his thoughts on leader Mmusi Maimane, as well as the post of Federal Council chair, which will be decided this weekend.
When asked if Maimane is equal to the task, Mashaba said: “I think it is a difficult question. I think I am trying to really be honest with you because I’ve not really worked… let’s see, maybe people [will] give him the mandate on Sunday.”“If the DA is going to be taken over by right-wing elements, I am out of there.”
Earlier in the week, former Nelson Mandela Bay Mayor Athol Trollip said although there were calls for Maimane to step down, the party would not kick people out because of individuals calling for his head. The IRR’s campaign also followed a controversial opinion piece last week by its campaign's coordinator and analyst, Hermann Pretorius, in which he called for the DA's leader to resign and for Western Cape Premier Alan Winde to succeed him to “return the party to a trajectory of growth”.
Right wing elements. 😂😂😂
That would be very sad as you doing fantastic job in CityofJoburgZA
Sibona ntoni ngoku apa kwaDA? Hayi sisimanga!!
Dear Mr.Mashaba, there would seem to be a popular, but erroneous, view that being white equals rightwing. Even people who know this not to be the case nevertheless play the game for political expedience.
So all along Mashaba didn't know DA is a right wing party? 🤣🤣
Totally entitled to do as he pleases however should he go to the EFF then he would become leftists .So what's the difference ? Advise ..go ANC and sit on the fence
It was a right wing party from inception,they put stooges there only for votes now the right wings see they got to the ceiling now they want to take over their party ,if iam lying why all the strategic positions owned by whites ,then president for monkey Maimane
Good Bye then
Useless go!!! People who don’t deliver must be replaced doesn’t matter the color
Just go. Don't wait! Go!
Is he waiting for the DA to announce it or admit it, if he is waiting for that he will be in there for a very longtime
Fighters are waiting for him

DA leaders throw their weight behind Athol TrollipMany have billed it as the battle for the soul of the DA not just because of the vote, but because of an organisational report that insiders say recommends the sacking of Mmusi Maimane as party leader and calls for an early congress. Sacking of Maimane as party leader won't build DA but will continue to increase the rate of racism in the white majority party Isemasimbeni i DA Let's be honest. MmusiMaimane was a weak imposition by helenzille. Why are protecting him like we were celebrating the new barackobama when he was announced? We were just as shocked when he was catapulted to the top as the people that want to make Our_DA white again
