The numbers appear once more not to have numbered for the Democratic Alliance — or at least not for its 69 councillors in the Tshwane metropolitan council.
Rather than getting Morodi over the line, the DA’s master plan to enforce loyalty from their councillors resulted in their votes being regarded as spoiled and Mncedi Ndzwanana, of theMurunwa Makwarela
The Electoral Commission of South Africa found that the DA’s numbers game compromised the secrecy of the ballot, declared the votes spoiled and named Ndzwanana as speaker by a margin of 105 votes to 37. After much tweeting, bleating and breast-beating — a political demand to talk to the manager — the DA has, we are told, accepted that they couldn’t Karen their way into the speaker’s office in Tshwane.Brink’s caucus colleagues can’t be pleased, not only with the outcome but the level of trust their leadership has in them, or the sudden realisation that the word democratic in the Democratic Alliance doesn’t describe the manner in which it conducts its business.
No matter how the party leadership spins it, they have nobody to blame but the DA for getting zero bang for their ballot — and an ATM speaker — in Tshwane this week.
