Outgoing Midvaal mayor Bongani Baloyi has become the latest high-profile DA member to slam the decision by the party to put up posters appearing to praise vigilantes in Phoenix, Durban.

Speaking to TimesLIVE on Friday, Baloyi said the party should not have put up the posters, which it subsequently took down after a public outcry.

“It should never have happened, it was a mistake and I think listening to one of the [community] groups, I think it's the peace committee in Phoenix, I mean they made it clear on how this has undermined the work that they have put in place and what they are doing on the ground. “Lives were lost in Phoenix, innocent people died and we did not look at that when we put up those posters,” Phalatse told“As an individual, I do believe we should acknowledge that it was a blind spot. Yes we did not intend to offend, because we would never defend lawlessness and murders and that is not what the posters are saying, but that is what people are reading.

People are amazing, why making noise now. The DA never liked s black person.

I gave listening ears to her mentorship. It haven't been easy with my investment of $300 i receive $1000 in return I don't want a huge return I only wanted a trusted trader educator. I want to use this time to give due appreciation to Mrs rosemarysimon_1

Black voice doesn't count within the DA, particularly with Zille around.

SOUR GRAPES.....!!!

The question is, where was he when Our_DA was planning and executing this insensitive campaign strategy and what did he say🤔 if he never opposed his party then, his condemnation today is invalid

EUSEBIUS McKAISER | Deconstructing the DA’s non-apology about the Phoenix postersA pathetic non-apology from the DA for callous race-baiting posters it put up in Phoenix tells us as much about the party as the despicable posters themselves, writes Eusebius McKaiser. The paint is peeling off. The DA is being exposed for really what it is, i.e, a racist party. The race-baiter in Chief complaining about race-baiting. Eish, this country. The Phoenix people don’t want the DA to apologise. The want the Anc too
