Scenes of jubilant delegates at the DA’s jamboree show the party is more ‘nonracial’ than the ANC
John Steenhuisen was re-elected as DA federal leader at the 2023 DA federal congress at the Gallagher Conference Centre in Midrand, April 2 2023. Picture: FREDDY MAVUNDA/BUSINESS DAY
DA leader John Steenhuisen, flushed with his election victory over political lightweight Mpho Phalatse, set the tone for the party’s assault on the ANC’s near three-decade rule by making two points: that ANC electoral support will implode below 50% in the 2024 elections, and that SA faces grave danger from the prospect of an ANC-EFF coalition.
Some of the positions put forward at the conference, for example the removal of race as the determining factor in establishing identity, speak of an attempt to strip race of its historical significance, while striking a blow at its more egregious policy manifestations in the form of BEE, preferential procurement and threatened expropriation of land without compensation.Keeping Steenhuisen on as leader might seem too counterintuitive by half when the idea is to attract the black vote.
