OPINIONISTA: The irony of one of the world’s leading capitalist publications endorsing Cyril Ramaphosa By Faiez Jacobs
It must have felt like the ultimate act of betrayal for Helen Zille and her acolytes, a treacherous deed byThis betrayal was not hidden on an inside page so that Zille and her ineffectual hand-picked successor as DA leader, Mmusi Maimane, could continue to pontificate and rubbish President Cyril Ramaphosa’s economic policies.
We have been saying that this childish argument is untrue and that the truth would prevail no matter how often the DA tried to introduce its economic nonsense as fact. In a series of publicity stunts, the DA confidently proclaimed how it would save South Africa, the economy, SAA, Prasa and other parastatals.
Bereft of a direct link to liberation fighters such as Nelson Mandela, Oliver Tambo, Albertina Sisulu, Lillian Ngoyi, Lizzie Abrahams, Dulcie September or Chris Hani, the party, which we believe is led in public by Maimane but privately by Zille, has for years been trying to portray itself as Mandela’s heir. This is a political lie that the majority of South Africans find insulting.
