DA march ‘disrespect the ANC in its own home’, says ANC Youth League member - Youth league members prevented the Democratic Alliance from delivering its memorandum to Luthuli House, the ANC’s headquarter
“What the DA is doing here, is disrespecting the ANC in its own home,” said ANC Youth League member Tlangi Mogale on the Democratic Alliance march to Luthuli House, the ANC’s headquarters in Johannesburg.
The DA has said the blackouts were “an ANC-engineered electricity crisis”, which was why they marched to the governing party’s headquarters instead of to the government’s Union Buildings in Pretoria. “South Africans are unable to cook, study or get hot water to wash. Unemployment is the highest in the world. It has been 15 years of load-shedding. The ANC knew about the problem in 1998. They were warned that if they didn’t build new power stations, we would be in trouble by 2007.”power stations had not been completed because of poor leadership and corruption within the ranks of the ANC.
Kevin Mileham, a DA MP who serves on parliament’s energy portfolio committee, echoed Steenhuisen’s sentiments.
