The election of the ANC's Geoff Makhubo as the new mayor of Johannesburg, and the DA's loss of the metro, has seen Mmusi Maimane, the party's former leader, dominate social media conversation.
The DA and EFF on Wednesday lost the country's biggest metro to the ruling party, which was last in charge before the 2016 elections. This came after the resignation of Herman Mashaba as mayor. He cited tensions within the DA as his reason for stepping down. The DA's latest loss has caused many to question whether its current leadership will be invited to resign, as Maimane did after the party's poor performance in the May elections.
Among those who suggested Maimane step down in the interests of the party were former leader Tony Leon and political strategist Ryan Coetzee. The calls came amid reports that Maimane had been involved with controversial fraud-accused Steinhoff boss Markus Jooste,Mmusi Maimane lost 1.5% of vote and got invited to resign. The ‘new’ DA leadership have lost an entire Metro in one day - when shall we expect the resignations for this mess?
Ja neh!
You’re and your pal. Nobody will ever vote for you or your new party
DA must send a delegation to go beg Maimane to come back. Things are bad and are about to get worse!
Even their own people are wondering wats gonna happen 🤷♂️
The guy is gone why are u using his picture
It seems like the old crooks ANC will be in charge of SA until the return of Jesus Christ since both DA and EFF are becoming useless as opposition parties. Looking forward to more failed government entities such as SAA.
Can you please rephrase your title, DA and the other political parties lost to the ruling party not EFF , EFF was never in power or any coalition and only contested now. So if u can say DA and EFF lost the contest for mayorship that would be appropriate
