DA MP Phumzile Van Damme is on the warpath on Twitter against her own party, after she was allegedly granted a sabbatical without requesting it.
Van Damme took to Twitter on Friday afternoon and disclosed that party leader John Steenhuisen had given her a sabbatical without her asking for it.I have been informed by the Federal Leader of the DAthat he is granting me a sabbatical. I didn’t request it. He merely informed me. I could walk away, but I choose to stay, and challenge it ON PRINCIPLE.I’ve been open about being sick. I’ve been on sick leave for 3 months, ending 15 Dec [December].
The tweets come as Steenhuisen is finalising talks about reshuffling the party's shadow cabinet, where Van Damme served as shadow minister for communications. DA insiders said Steenhuisen held one-on-one talks with individual shadow ministers from two weeks ago and he was widely expected to announce his new cabinet last week, but that did not happen.Steenhuisen, through his spokesperson, confirmed that he had given Van Damme a sabbatical.
“I have had to make changes to my shadow cabinet after my election, having inherited a shadow cabinet I did not appoint. It is the prerogative of the leader to do so and has been exercised by every DA leader. This is a decision made in consultation with the caucus leadership and with Ms Van Damme’s best interest at heart. I am sorry she is trying to portray it otherwise,” said Steenhuisen.
She said she'd not accept, he's the aggressor
John, just fire the bitch.
Warpath? Imagine this headline during GBV times
White party showimg blacks over there that they don't belong in their party. 😂😂😂😂
War path where. Stop it. She merely made her position clear. Stop stirring unnecessarily.
Please don't be obtuse. The DA's leadership, relying on batshittery from the white right are worried about losing in Cape Town to the White Nationalist Family Pyramid scheme (VF+). PVD now. Then all DA members who were happy Trump lost. Then Winde for accepting science 😏
O mo tseleng.
If it were ANC or EFF, it'd be 'faction infighting'. But when it's WMC's favourite DA, Phumzile is singled out.
They are done with her, That's how they roll the bus's wheels, Drive the bus Steenhuizen!!!

Which means that Steenhuisen is a Shadow President🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Democratic Party does not need these Tokens anymore.
