DA leader Mmusi Maimane has dismissed suggestions that his party's poor showing at the national elections may see him booted out.
For the first time in post democratic South Africa, the Democratic Alliance looks set to have failed to grow at the national polls.
The party grew in leaps and bounds between 1999 and 2014 during the tenures of Maimane's predecessors Tony Leon and Zille. Maimane said the elections were"not a leadership contest" for him but part of a project to give South Africa an alternative to the ANC.
