Steenhuisen denied that he had turned away from the former leader, saying, “one of the biggest support mechanisms for Mmusi Maimane was myself.” “I certainly dedicated the last six years of my life to providing that support to make sure that he had a strong parliamentary presence, that the team in parliament was working well there.”
“You can’t rally around somebody who doesn’t want to be part of the organisation and he has made a personal choice around that.”that described him as inconsistent, indecisive and conflict-averse.“It was his own choice to go when he did and it’s a choice I think was the wrong choice. I think he should have stayed on, I think he should have fought on, but you can’t force somebody to do something they don’t want to do.
