Former parliamentary leader Lindiwe Mazibuko said the DA had been “captured by a certain faction of the party” and said there was no space for expression for dissenting voices in the party.
Durban - Lindiwe Mazibuko, the one-time former parliamentary leader of the DA says she would “probably not” join the party currently if she was asked to come on board again.
Mazibuko made these claims on Monday while speaking to TV news channel, eNCA. After being quizzed about her political school, Apolitical Academy, which she is currently running, Mazibuko was asked whether she would join the DA in its current shape. “I think it's quite clear that there has been an exodus of some of the most talented people in that organisation. I think it’s clear that it has been captured by a certain faction of the party and often when that happens when a party cannot accommodate diverse voices, people who like to challenge, who like to bring fresh ideas... not just like to catapult to the status quo, tire of fighting every single day, eventually move on to greener pastures,” Mazibuko said.
