The election of Cape Town mayor Helen Zille as Democratic Alliance (DA) leader will not bring change to the opposition party, the African National Congress Youth League (ANCYL) said on Monday.
”The election of Helen Zille as the leader of DA is nothing else but a change of personalities,” spokesperson Zizi Kodwa said in a statement.
”The DA remains the party of fascists and right-wing conservatives.”
The ANCYL welcomed the stepping down of Tony Leon as DA leader and said it was a blessing that created a possibility for the realisation of a non-racial South Africa.
”During his 13 years at the throne, the ”Klein Krokodil” became a symbol of a fascist … most backward and a racist to the core, who hated black people like his political mentor PW Botha,” Kodwa said. — Sapa
