ATM president Vuyo Zungula has written to the IEC demanding the DA to be struck off the ballot for the local government elections scheduled for November 1 for allegedly inciting violence with its election posters in Phoenix.
He said in a country that is trying to heal from the injustices of the past, racial and economic inequalities, and unfair distribution of economies, the fuelling of the zeitgeist adversely sets the country back over a decade in the attempt to rebuild South Africa.
Zungula said that no loss of life in this country should be celebrated, especially when the material conditions and status quo prompt unruly action. He said the community of Phoenix was merely protecting themselves after the residents were described as blood-thirsty racist Indians. Mathekga rather suggests that the DA should feel the pinch of their political statement, which may have been miscalculated and lacked strategy.
