Former DA leader Zwakele Mncwango has attributed his sudden departure from the party to a toxic culture
Mncwango terminated his membership of the DA three days after his shock resignation as chief whip of the party in the KwaZulu-Natal legislature.
He said his right to speak and share opinions without being silenced by the powers that be could not be taken lightly and that the highest decision-making structure of the party had opted to do exactly that.
“The letter from Ms Zille clearly indicates a trend that is both condescending as well as demeaning. I have therefore taken this deeply painful but considered decision not to allow myself to be immured within the confines of a political party that prevents a basic constitutional right from being exercised,” Mncwango said in his resignation letter.
