'Something inherently dangerous about a coalition between ANC and EFF' – Maimane SAElections2019 | tshidi_lee
Maimane made the comments during an interview with News24 during which he defended his party's posters, which urged voters to keep the ANC and EFF out of the Western Cape.
"We are in an election here! Therefore I must maximise how many voters turn up and must make them aware of the worries and the dangers that could come on board," he said as he defended his party's position. Maimane said the country deserved to know the full extent of what happened at VBS. Advocate Terry Motau, in his report on VBS, found that 53 people and companies looted the bank to the tune of R1.9bn." last year before the ousting of then Nelson Mandela Bay Metro mayor Athol Trollip, said because the DA was not engaged in a written contract with the red berets, his party couldn't call the EFF and ask for it to explain.
"The DA logged a complaint over EFF posters in the Western Cape. These are the people we put in power in Tshwane and Johannesburg," he added.Maimane seemed unfazed about pre-election polls that show the DA may not improve its performance from the 22.23% it garnered in 2014., an Ipsos poll conducted between March and April this year puts the party at 15% - a significant drop from 2014. The latest Institute of Race Relations poll has support for the stable DA at 21.3%.
He also expressed hope that his party would secure enough votes to form a coalition at a national level, with the DA being the strongest partner. He compared the change of guard in the liberation movement to Zimbabwe's own political situation where long-time leader Robert Mugabe was removed in a coup and replaced by his former ally Emerson Mnangagwa. Zimbabwe's economy and living conditions have not improved much despite the change of leadership.
