No rationale behind voting with the DA - ex-EFF treasurer calls out red berets
20 March 2017
Johannesburg - The Democratic Alliance remains a defender of white monopoly capital and it is astounding that the Economic Freedom Fighters decided to vote with the party following the 2016 municipal elections, says former EFF treasurer general Magdalene Moonsamy.
"I would never be dragged into the historical blunder of having sold the blood and tears of our people," Moonsamy told Jacaranda FM on Sunday.
The party announced in 2016 that Moonsamy had resigned from her role as the party's treasurer general and Member of Parliament in order to focus on her legal career.
The EFF's decision to vote with the DA allowed the DA to oust the African National Congress and govern in the Eastern Cape's Nelson Mandela Bay municipality as well as in Tshwane, Johannesburg and Mogale City in Gauteng.
