3 reasons why Maimane averted a mutiny at DA FedEX | gerbjan
The sharks were circling around DA leader Mmusi Maimane after the DA's drop in electoral support.
Maimane's detractors hold the protracted, messy divorce from former Cape Town mayor, and now GOOD leader and soon-to-be-sworn-in MP Patricia de Lille against him, especially as an indication of indecisiveness. Maimane seemingly won this battle, when earlier this year, the party adopted as part of its policy that"race is a proxy for disadvantage", after Maimane reportedly laid down the law.While it is unclear at this stage how widespread the mutinous feelings toward Maimane is, a powerful party structure like the FedEx's statement of"unambiguous" support for Maimane, should stave off an immediate mutiny.
The year before, she had a falling out with then party leader Helen Zille about the parliamentary caucus's support of the ANC's black economic empowerment legislation, with many believing that this led to Mazibuko's decision to leave.
