The Democratic Alliance lost another black leader when Luyolo Mpithi resigned as the leader of DA Youth last week, but he will continue to be an MP.
This comes after another former youth leader and ally, Mbali Ntuli, resigned from the party in March after a tumultuous relationship with the party’s national leaders.
Mpithi was elected federal leader of the DA Youth in 2018, succeeding Yusuf Cassim.
