Party exists to enact Herman Mashaba’s vendetta against DA
Michael Beaumont of ActionSA claims that “the DA, by its actions, has all but ensured the collapse of a once-viable coalition in Johannesburg” .
I don’t think Beaumont or anyone from ActionSA has the right to criticise the DA when it comes to the stability of any coalition in the country. ActionSA has used all its political capital and media space to attack the DA, its apparent coalition partner. It has become clear that ActionSA exists as a spite party to enact Herman Mashaba’s vendetta against the DA after his failed stint as DA mayor of Johannesburg.
ActionSA is condemning the DA for not cutting a deal with the Patriotic Alliance , the same party that has corrupt dealings with the ANC and almost torpedoed the coalition last year. With its track record of opportunism, no-one can truly enter into a deal with the PA and expect good faith. The DA does have a responsibility to protect the voting public from a return to ANC governance or an EFF mayor, but it also can’t be expected to keep a doomed coalition alive in the face of so much internal division and infighting — much of it being caused by ActionSA and the PA.
I don’t blame the DA for seeing Johannesburg as a lost cause. Hopefully it can form a new coalition in future that excludes opportunistic parties that put their own petty vendettas ahead of the stability of the coalition.
