Maimane urges black professionals to trust the DA to reduce black tax | tshidi_lee
DA leader Mmusi Maimane says if black professionals don't put their faith in his party during next week's polls, they risk"exacerbating" the issue of black tax.Maimane insists the DA, which is the largest opposition party in the country, is the only real alternative that can help revive South Africa's ailing economy and build a capable state.
Maimane, who hails from Dobsonville, Soweto, told News24 in an interview ahead of the May general elections that he could relate to the black tax issue. In giving his observations to this continued stance against his party, Maimane said he did not believe some professionals had a proper look at the work the DA has done in the government and in fighting corruption.
"I think as the DA we've been misunderstood in believing that what we've got to do is build places that are diverse. We've got to ensure we build this dream of one South Africa for all," he said, adding that there was a need to address inequality, and inequality borne out of race.
