DAFedEx | 'There has been a lot of speculation around the DA's performance and even speculation about our leader (Maimane).'
The media conference followed a federal executive meeting hot on the heels of reports that the party's old guard was baying for Maimane's blood.
According to Trollip, the party blamed its misfortunes at the polls on rising racial nationalism globally and its own"internal challenges". Said Trollip:"I know there has been a lot of speculation around the DA's performance and even speculation about our leader and I would like to read this statement that comes out of the federal executive from today's deliberations.
"As the members of the federal executive we all take responsibility for the outcome of these elections whether good or bad, that burden does not sit on the shoulders of any individual.
