Misleading report in Sunday Times

11 June 2017

The Sunday Times today, 11 June 2017, reported that the DA Western Cape legislature members had all, but one, signed a letter intended for the DA leader, Mr Maimane.

For the record, no such letter exists.

Secondly, it is a pity that the reporters in question had not contacted the DA caucus leadership before making such a claim as any dissention within the caucus ranks is not known to us and such claims would have been strongly refuted.
