Last weekend, the DA held its elective conference, which the media referred to as a “watershed moment”. There is one thing that few people are talking about: the DA maintains white people in top leadership positions. Its former leader John Steenhuisen is white. The newly elected leader Geordin Hill-Lewis is also white. Yet, the party claims it elects leaders based on merit. What merit?
Interestingly, the majority members of the DA are black.
Since its establishment, it has had one black leader, Mmusi Maimane. Are there no capable black leaders in the blue party? Of course, there are. Why are they not in the top leadership? The answer is obvious.
The truth is that the DA is a racist political party under the guise of liberalism. When Maimane was the DA leader, he was s undermined by white leaders, including Helen Zille.
In the DA the few blacks who are in the leadership are window dressing.
Blacks are there to add numbers, not value.

- The DA recently held its elective conference, labeled a “watershed moment” by the media, but maintained white individuals in top leadership roles.
- Former leader John Steenhuisen and newly elected leader Geordin Hill-Lewis are both white, despite the party's majority black membership.
- Since its founding, the DA has had only one black leader, Mmusi Maimane, who was reportedly undermined by white leaders.
- The article argues that the DA is a racist party disguised as liberal, with black leaders serving as mere window dressing rather than holding real power.
- The underlying claim is that black members are included to add numbers and appearance, not genuine value or influence.
