South Africa: DA Proven Again As an Unprincipled, Opportunistic and Hypocritical Party

press release

The ANC has noted media reports that the Democratic Alliance suspended 5 of its councillors from caucus activity in the City of Cape Town. This suspension is related to allegations that the 5 councillors ignored a party directive in the election of a sub-council chairperson in Kraaifontein. In essence, these councillors voted for a different candidate as the one preferred by their party and thus contradicted the party line.

The ANC notes this incident as a demonstration of the moral and political opportunism of the DA. They advance an argument about a 'conscience vote' in national parliament against the ANC when they can't observe the same framework.
