MMUSI MAIMANE: 'There is no room in this party for those who mobilise on race'
'I was personally angered by Helen Zille’s tweet and I know that many others were as well'
The following statement was delivered by DA Leader Mmusi Maimane at a press conference in Johannesburg this morning. When I was elected Leader of the Democratic Alliance two years ago, I received an overwhelming mandate to grow the party by bringing South Africans of all races together. Since then, we have set our sights on unseating the ANC from government in order to save our country. This project has never been more urgent. A corrupt cabal has captured the state for the purpose of personal enrichment, and our governing party appears powerless to act against it. As a result, our country faces an unprecedented economic crisis with jobs being lost every day.
