The DA leader shared the talking points he would have used in an apparently proposed debate with the president.
” rather than socialism, but the party has upheld a strategic alliance with the Congress of South African Trade Unions and the South African Communist Party since 1990.
“We need reform of our politics. We need to make sure that we have a political dynamism that says we are free from the shackles of our past and can build a political party that will say we stand for the rights of individuals, we believe that markets ought to be at the centre of it and we believe that actually, citizens need to be able to directly elect their people as an example,” Maimane said.
“Whereas the president must be able to defend his party as a socialist/leftist organisation, an organisation which believes that the state must be at the centre of it all,” he continued. “I would have wanted him to debate our economy, we need to reform our economy, we need to make sure we put a job in every home, and by doing that I always make it clear that we want to stimulate micro-enterprise. We want to make sure that of the 41% of the households without an income, that we can get someone from that home at least working.
“I’d want more people to work out of homes but ultimately let’s start with one because when there is income in the house there’s at least a place where people can eat, there’s food on the table, there is a place where we can find healthcare, we can ultimately put kids to school. That’s crucial,” Maimane concluded.
