EASTERN CAPE PROVINCIAL LEGISLATURE
OFFICE OF THE CHIEF WHIP
OF THE MAJORITY PARTY
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
20 MAY 2016
DRAMA UNFOLDING WITHIN RANKS OF THE DEMOCRATIC ALLIANCE (DA) IN THE EASTERN
CAPE IS THE TESTIMONY THAT BLACKS HAVE NO SAY WITHIN DA AND THAT MS ZILLE IS
RULING FROM THE GRAVE
The Office of the African National Cape (ANC) Eastern Cape Provincial
Legislature (ECPL) Chief Whip has noted the media reports, concerning the
resignation and subsequent somersaulting of Democratic Alliance (DA) Eastern
Cape Provincial Chairwoman Ms Veliswa Mvenya.
Her decision to resign from the DA was instructive in exposing the DA as
having no concern for black talent. It confirms that blacks to the DA only
matter if they are willing to be voting fodder in support of white authority
and willing to never think independently or raise political views that
challenge the interests of the ruling white conservative block.
The continued rule from the grave of Ms Hellen Zille further confirms for
all to see where power is located in the DA and that black leaders are
selected as token figures. As part of this window dressing and PR exercise,
the current leader Mr Maimane is reduced to leading toyi-toyi demonstrations
in public. He does not hold the authority to reign in the rogue elements
within the DA; the forces that constitute the power base and decision-making
in that party.
Not long ago the first member of the DA to resign within this 5th Eastern
Cape Legislature term was Honourable N Matikinca an African woman, whom
could not stomach being honourable and overt racism with sexist undertones
within the ranks of the DA. Now another prominent African woman in the form
of the DA provincial Chair Woman is also a victim of the same circumstances.
While noting Ms Mvenya somersaulting, but the context and facts draw only
one inference, patriarchy and racism within the ranks of the DA has reached
intolerable proportions. Seeing DA hibernating racism, these ragged elements
are getting embolden.
Similarly, the imposition of Mr Trollip, with a record of exploiting black
workers, as the mayoral candidate of Nelson Mandela Bay Metro Municipality
(NMBMM), when its well-known that he is only a resident of NMMBM for
purposes of contesting to be Mayor, overlooking all black leaders of DA
within the area of NMMBM, further confirms that the DA has little regard for
the leadership capabilities of black people.
It is now glaringly obvious what blacks are for within the ranks of the DA.
It is equally important for South Africans of every race, including white
democrats, to note that those who believe in the values of a new South
Africa which is the creation of a non-racial, non-sexist, democratic, united
and prosperous South Africa must be liberated from the racist demons of the
DA.
However, it is pleasing as contained in the very same media reports that
some within ranks of the DA have come to their senses and realized that the
DA will not win NMBMM and that the home of NMBMM residents is the ANC.
The ANC Caucus in the Eastern Cape Provincial Legislature (ECPL) assures all
that, within the ranks of the ANC no person can ever be regarded as having
sold her soul as reported on the contents of an SMS attributed to Ms Mvenya.
This we say without any fear of contradiction; the ANC has proven since time
immemorial that it is the party which embraces all those who commit to
pursue a better life for all.
The ANC has policies and a track record which proves that it has walked its
talk and continues to be the vehicle to transform society from an evil past
characterised by suppression, racism, division, dehumanizing, exploitation
and starvation, this is where the DA belongs and where it must be left by
all democratic loving South Africans.
This racist demon ravaging DA must never be allowed to engulf our
municipalities. South Africans must see DA for what it is and on 3 August
2016 reject the racist party with all of its desperate attempts to take
South Africa to the dark past of institutionalized racism.
