Democratic Alliance leader John Steenhuisen is expected to announce today that he will not seek re‑election at the party's federal congress In April. Steenhuisen, who has led the DA since 2019 and also serves as Agriculture Minister, has faced mounting criticism from groups such as AfriForum and Solidarity, as well as from some farmers. AfriForum CEO Kallie Kriel described Steenhuisen's centralised, state‑heavy response to the foot‑and‑mouth disease outbreak as the "last straw," saying it reflected an ANC‑style reliance on a failing system and eroded support among core voters. Tensions have also risen over the DA's stance on the BELA Act and its stance on racial transformation policies. Elvis Presslin spoke to Afriforum CEO, Kallie Kriel
