“Everyone seems to be missing Helen's [Zille] role in obliterating DA's chances with black voters. Her comments about colonialism obliterated the trust we had worked hard to build' | kgmadisa
"Everyone seems to be missing Helen's role in obliterating DA's chances with black voters. Her comments about colonialism obliterated the trust we had worked hard to build," said a DA leader who preferred anonymity."Do you genuinely believe the legacy of colonialism was ONLY negative?" she asked in a tweet.
The DA suffered a 1.46% decline in its support during the national and provincial elections, which saw the party losing five seats in National Assembly. This was the first time since 2004 that the party's support has dropped. Another FedEx member, Yusuf Cassim, said they were concerned about the decline in numbers and that they were aware that some of their supporters either stayed at home during the polls, while some voted for the Freedom Front Plus, but no one blamed Maimane for this.
DA leader Mmusi Maimane has taken full responsibility for the party’s poor showing at the recent general elections – just hours after the DA’s federal executive took “collective responsibility” for the losses.
