WATCH | DA in trouble in Joburg as coalition partners speak out on Mashaba's exit

The DA, which governs the metropolitan municipality with the help of smaller parties through a coalition, has come under fire since Mashaba announced his resignation, with some parties threatening to pull out of the partnership.

“It is very unfortunate and also disturbing to listen to the reasons that led to Mashaba's resignation … Listening to Mashaba is a tell-tale that some in the DA are resisting change and continue holding on to right-wing tendencies,” said Bloem. “This is about resistance by liberal forces that want to continue denying the historical injustices. We shall re-evaluate our participation in the metro coalition.”

In his announcement, Mashaba accused the party of veering of Maimane’s vision of “one South Africa for all” and that the party had set out to frustrate him for being “pro-poor”.
