DA's George Municipality Mayors resignation speaks of party abuse and political interference

27 July 2016

The ANC has noted the resignation of DA's George Mayor Charles Standers and we see his reasons, as stated in his resignation letter, as an affirmation of what we have been saying for a while now, that the DA abuses differing views within their ranks through purging or forced resignations, the paranoia of a party that exists to protect closet racists.

Stander is correct about DA's interference in the affairs of the municipalities it runs to serve party interests. Democratic Alliance has always used disingenuous recruitment tools for blacks and colored’s into the party ranks, as a means to serve DA' desired ends misusing municipality resources.

From this perspective, it’s clear to see where the fault lines start, when those recruited under these pretenses gets strangled by politics to serve a particular Agenda. The DA has to be upfront with all Africans and Coloreds they recruit, that working at a DA runned City is a quid pro quo exercise that ends up demanding of people to betray their values and their people to serve particular cliques.

Stander is correct that the Democratic Alliance is extremely corrupt. They create an impression of Municipality's that are economically conservative and free of corruption, but in reality, the party is slowly crippling itself into a party that manipulates and controls these municipalities to serve white party politics. Stander has clearly had enough.

The incoming ANC Caucus that will run the George Municipality is going to put an end to this kind of political interference in the affairs of governance and corruption.

We are going to follow very closely the matters raised by Standers about this municipality and when we are satisfied, an Investigation will have to be instituted.
