ANC WCape to try and remove Zille - Siyazi Tyatyam

Premier desperately fighting to hang on to her R10m pension, says Party

Zille now only clings to power for money

What a pathetic picture of DA spy premier Helen Zille who is desperately fighting to hang on for the last about R10 million in future payment and pension to the end of her term; on the eve of the greatest test of her political career! Tomorrow the ANC motion serves in the Western Cape legislature to have Zille removed as premier in terms of the Constitution.

The ANC Western Cape says delusional Zille hired with taxpayer money an alleged corrupt policeman to spy for her. She is regularly embroiled in conspiracy theories and spy accusations. This time the power-hungry Zille has gone too far as she broke the law and her own rules, is guilty of serious misconduct, abuse state resources for DA party political gains and is not fit-for-purpose for this office anymore - thus she is left with no choice but to fall onto her own sword.

ANC deputy chief whip in the Western Cape legislature Siyazi Tyatyam says: “The DA premier lost the trust of the public with her shenanigans and must go. She is so desperate that she irrationally bullies her own party members, has accused former MEC’s Theuns Botha and Lennit Max of giving information to the ANC and is now fabricating even more conspiracy theories and deception.

“As part of her latest witch-hunt Zille now calls in her MPL’s trying to secure their vote for her to continue to receive benefits. It is too little too late. Last week the ANC has already seen her DA cronies were silent and did not support her when she was grilled for her part in the cloak and dagger spy saga she initiated. No amount of DA lies, spin, smoke and mirrors will change the fact that Zille is now damaged after too many slips and has become a serious liability for the DA.

“It could have been entertaining to watch her beating up her loyal followers ahead of her impeachment, if it was not so serious a matter! Whether she survives or not, is immaterial. The fact is that her former so-called squeaky clean image lies in tatters and is tarnished beyond repair. She should do the honourable thing and resign with some dignity or suffer the indignity of being pushed out by her own herd soon. Even if her caucus manage to save her hide this time, she will eventually wilt and disappear in obscurity.”
