Moodey further slammed the DA for its apparent silence on Zille's tweets on race, colonialism and apartheid.
An emotional Moodey, who was also facing charges in the party, said the final straw came when it came to his attention that the DA was formulating new charges against him for allegedly conspiring to implicate a DA MP in a “jobs for sex scandal”.
He said while he's previously fended-off attempts to force him out of the DA through similar tactics, he was no longer interested in staying as the party's political direction had changed for the worse.He said in terms of the DA's new direction, the party was comfortable with remaining as an opposition party in parliament and other provincial legislatures, while only interested in governing the Western Cape.
“She has the belief that there are more racist laws passed since 1994 than during apartheid. It exposes her thinking and underlying sentiments. This statement has and is causing irreparable harm to the DA brand and racial harmony in SA, yet she remains in office,” said Moodey.
