The DA has hit back at former Gauteng party leader John Moodey, claiming he was running away from charges of attempted bribery to smear a senior politician before he jumped ship
Steenhuisen said Moodey was seeking to damage the party as he was leaving — and was also playing the racecard.
“It is very clear that Mr Moodey has sought to deflect attention from himself by defaming erstwhile colleagues, playing the racecard and seeking to inflict as much damage on the party as he possibly could on his way out the door.” He further made several allegations of unfairness in the party's disciplinary process and accused its leadership of being involved in a purge.
But Steenhuisen dismissed allegations of a purge, saying the party's legal commission was independent from political leaders.
