Johannesburg - Former DA leader Helen Zille’s comments that she promoted black leaders during her tenure have caused consternation in the official opposition, fresh from a poor showing at the recent provincial and national elections.
Zille said she had mistakenly tried satisfying her ANC opponents in pursuing inclusivity while the governing party’s understanding of diversity meant “prioritising a person’s biological characteristics above other attributes necessary for value and accomplishment”. “As black people in the party we are where we are because we worked hard, not because someone or some people promoted us.
Louw, who was designated by Zille to his current post in 2009 following the resignation of then leader Chris Liebenberg, had not sent the document by the time of going to print. “Eventually, I concluded that, if the party was led by a black person, and backed by a significant majority of elected black provincial leaders, we would finally rid ourselves of this tag,” she said.
“The ANC was the biggest loser because they lost 19 seats. Maimane worked more than any other DA leader in these elections.
