The DA is no longer a party that “flaps the winds of racial populism” while driving away voters like it did back in 2019 under the leadership of then leader Mmusi Maimane back in in 2019.

This must stop dream, he must go get some education first… DA will never rule. Yes 2024VoetsekANC but DA will never rule.

Vety dishonest, they really should stop, attempts to bring back co-constituency should be bearing fruits, give updates on that. Talk about performance in bi-elections & hemorrhage of many black leaders since Mmusi left after they brought Helen back and John the conductor.

The have just yesterday took Gampempe's report for a review because the Afrikaans is menssioned

Lol yazi futhi in SA u shall be amazed

yet another Piet Rampedi standard of journalism

DA can't unsit the ANC when they chose to become a white minority party that drives away black who are the majority in SA. They are interested in white voters as if their vote counts double compared to blacks.... It's one man one vote! The Mmusi anology will be proven in 2024.

I don't want to fall into scam...

White supremacy at its best

😂😂😂 ANC, EFF and ActionSA:

Wow! The DA is unbelievable. Yes let's not talk about race and the legacy of apartheid. Lets pretend that apartheid never happened and has left no legacy on South Africa. Cold. How can any sane black person or any person who is against racism be part of this party?

Forming coalitions with ANC, not unseating. Fixed it for you.

DA like Thier sibling Action SA, their handlers are in Stellenbosch, nothing distinguishes the two. Same funders same objectives.

Thw DA is a white party. We know this.

DA is the definition of identity politics. Fish Hoek, UCT, Stellenbosch uni, farm killing protests, opposition to inclusion etc

DA exists in order to make sure South Africa's land/wealth remains in the hands of white people. If that's not racial politics I don't know what it is. Action SA, FF+, ACDP etc are all funded by same white families who find the DA. There's only EFF fighting these parties

The DA is now a right wing organization masquerading as a liberal organization. The mask is truely off.

The DA is a minority group opposition party, they brought in Zille and Steenhiusen to consolidate its traditional voter base, it secures them their 20%!

DA.LEADER/CONTROLLERS WILL NEVER BE A GOVERMENT DUE RACISTS TRAITS AS LONG AFRICANS ARE A MAJORITY BUT IF THEY ENACT A NEW APARTHEID SYSTEM OR MAKE CAPE A NEW ORANIA REPUPLIC THEY DONT UNITE RSA BUT BREAKS RSA./FAIL TO MAKE AFRIFORUM THEIR LEGISLATIVE PILLAR/SHOULDER TO STAND UP!

MmusiMaimane Tlaa kwano ngwana kgoshi, gape ba go telela ka mo

'Flaps the wings of racial populism' is another way to say 'we don't support policies that try to address the consequences of apartheid.'

West African Nations Meet Over Terrorism In Sahel RegionOver the years West Africa has dealt with chronic instability caused by political crises and cross-border terrorism. Five West African countries - Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, and Togo - established the Accra Initiative in 2017 in order to collaborate against violent extremism in the region. Speaking to VOA on the sidelines of the two-day conference in Accra on November 17, 2022, Ben Dere, the executive secretary of the Accra Initiative, said cooperation among countries is key in the fight against terrorism. So far, the Accra Initiative has resulted in little tangible action. In 2018 and 2019, member countries conducted joint military operations on their borders which resulted in the arrests of about 700 suspected terrorists and gang members, and the seizure of homemade weapons.
