Lennit Max has been named the Freedom Front Plus’s mayoral candidate for Cape Town.

Max’s tenure within the ID ended in 2005, after the party found that he had breached its membership code of conduct.In 2009, former premier Helen Zille appointed Max as MEC for community safety.

“When I joined the DA in 2005, I was a fresh breed. The party only had 12 MPLs in the provincial legislature. They needed the coloured votes and the coloured voters were in support of the ID. I was deployed as a project to attract coloured voters to the DA.“I’ve learned that once you disagree with the leadership of the DA then as you know, the DA will use their power to marginalise you and push you out and rephrase you into a particular section so you become irrelevant and not visible.

“Once there, former Western Cape DA leader Bonginkosi Madikizela demanded that I resign from the DA because, according to him, it was not good for me to serve an ANC government with a DA membership. In his tenure as advisor to Cele, Max said he was able to add value by the introduction of the Anti-Gang Unit . “The Anti-Gang Unit, which was my brainchild, was formed. That shows to you that when I assisted in the ANC, it was to add value and not for a position. All I wanted was to add value to the lives and safety of the people. The AGU was launched in the Western Cape and now it’s being implemented countrywide.
