DA acting like cry-babies - ANC WCape

Songezo Mjongile says if any fraud committed it is the lies DA has sold our people

Desperate DA deflects attention from Silly Zille

The Western Cape ANC rejects the DA's unfounded claims of a so-called plot or project to eject the DA from power in some municipal councils through bribery. The DA is in a constant campaign to discredit and replace the ANC as part of its so-called democracy campaign, but cries fowl at any democratic means to replace the DA. If there is any fraud committed, it will be the lies that the DA has sold our people that it delivers to all whilst condeming the majority to conditions of poverty and squallor.

The ANC says the DA acts like cry-babies when they lose a councillor or a municipality. It forgets quickly that the DA national leader Helen Zille became the mayor of Cape Town in 2006 after a coup plot involving smaller opposition parties. It also governs in a number of hung municipalities in formal plots as coalitions of alliances.

The only DA councillors the ANC has contact with are those that are frustrated by racism and the dictatorship by the DA Mafioso . They come to cry on the ANC shoulders about their

"The DA has lost touch with real issues facing communities. When the ANC teams up with any other party of person, the DA cries foul. It is typical of the double standard DA which has a set of rules for the ANC, but a different set for the DA," says Western Cape provincial secretary Songezo Mjongile.

"DA councillors come to the ANC to complain and confide as the ANC is a better home for them. The DA would do better to maintain good relations with their councillors than to complain when they go astray. The DA must back up their allegations with tangible proof or face the consequences of legal action, which the ANC now considers.

"The DA uses this story as a political ploy to cover up the tracks of its premier Helen Zille who lately came under heavy criticism after she had a lot of silly things to say about HIV and Aids, such as the call to revive apartheid style sex policing and her lucky draw to coerce or unethically induce people to test. The DA now wants to redirect the media attention away from its leader with this cheap political decoy.

"The DA and its leader have a lot to explain. Not to try and make suspect normal democratic course. Unlike the DA who bribes people to resign and stand for them or vote with them, as the evidence suggests, the ANC has no plan or project to bribe any other political office bearer," says Mjongile.
