The party leader shrugged off polls that showed the DA was battling to increase support ahead of the elections.
Democratic Alliance leader Mmusi Maimane on Saturday laid into the African National Congress government, accusing President Cyril Ramaphosa of ”watching the looting” for the past 25 years.
“They were once a movement, but today they are a monument – a mere relic of the past. They were once our liberators, but today we need to be liberated from them. That is why I’m angry,” he said. A buoyant Maimane said Ramaphosa was already in government when rampant corruption spread under the ANC and that it was time for South Africans to look into themselves and find something ”stronger than fear”.
