Zille sailing close to treason, says Ebrahim Rasool
THE Democratic Alliance has plummeted to new levels of desperation in its frantic campaign to hold on to the Western Cape, a province where we are confident of ousting them from power.
Their outgoing Premier, Helen Zille is sailing close to treason by suggesting a tax boycott and should be investigated for her utterances.
“We call on her to withdraw this irresponsible statement and rather unite in action to grow South Africa. We also call on business leaders and workers leaders to repudiate her statement,’’ said ANC Western Cape elections head Ebrahim Rasool in a statement.
Rasool added: “Not even an election is worth the devastating consequences of her statement. We call on her party leader Mmusi Maimane to come out and tell us where he stands on these calls. Does he support a tax boycott or not? We want to know.”
In the past few days, said Rasool, DA has gone on a negative campaign drive in which it has tried to convince voters to keep the ANC and another political party out of the Western Cape. The other party, known for its racist rhetoric, is the DA’s coalition party in Metros such as Johannesburg and Thswane.
