DA 'caught in a bind' over Zille - Ehrenreich
2 May 2017
Cape Town – Cosatu provincial secretary general Tony Ehrenreich says the Democratic Alliance is in a bind over disciplinary proceedings against Western Cape premier Helen Zille.
Ehrenreich told News24 this week that Zille's comments about colonialism puts the party in a quandary, and they have to act against her, but won't.
"Her comments were clearly insensitive for South Africa. It reveals her understanding of development and the damage that colonialism did to our country.
"They're caught in a bind. How much do they pander to the old, liberal white base that still controls the party?
