Who is the next coloured victim?
JUST like my play pal Humpty Dumpty, DA Cape Town mayor Patricia de Lille did not fall; she was pushed!
She was pushed by Mmusi Maimane and her many enemies or detractors, many ironically from the DA. It’s hard to be in the middle when the black and white tribes, put the squeeze on you, a bit like being caught in the centre of a gigantic Oreo biscuit.
No rainbow nation in the DA anymore? It does matter, in good old South Africa, if you are black or white, Michael Jackson.
Now that the honeymoon between the Independent Democrats and the Democratic Alliance is finally over, with no need for a divorce decree from the courts, the bride has agreed to ride off into to the sunset, gagged and bound. Bad beau Mmusi didn’t know you were into S&M.
I wonder who Maimane will be wooing and grooming from the coloured community next?
The coloured voters have the numbers in the Western
Cape and they said no to former presidents Thabo Mbeki and
Jacob Zuma. Will they say yes to the “Buffalo Soldier” – or should that be hunter? – President Cyril Ramaphosa ?
Can he lead them to his party like his prized Ugandan cattle?
For him to do that, he must listen to their needs, like how affirmative action works against them and their battles for work and self-determination.
Why did the ANC take so long to hand back District Six and other parts of the Cape Province the NP removed them from? How long must they wait and protest for houses? When are drug dealers, gangsters and criminals going to be brought to book ?
Patricia de Lille has a pedigreed political freedom fighting background like the PAC and later the ID. She was one of the few who were instrumental in having the arms deal exposed and investigated. We trust that whatever she does will be in the best interests of South Africa, South Africans in general and the often maligned and marginalised coloured community. Viva Patricia de Lille. Viva!
