The Democratic Alliance is grappling with fighting between senior national leaders, months before its elective congress. This as former Minister of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries Dion George THIS WEEK resigned from the DA and Parliament, following a bitter public fallout with party leader John Steenhuisen. His resignation was preceded by his removal as minister in November at the DA's request and replaced by party spokesperson, Willie Aucamp. George claims he was removed due to his hardline stance against the wildlife-breeding and the hunting industry, while Steenhuisen maintains that George was removed for poor performance in his portfolio. Following this, George, who was also the DA's federal finance chair, publicly revealed Steenhuisen's money issues and also accused the party leader of being captured by the ANC and beholden to the GNU. The DA is not taking interviews about the spat but some analysts believe the saga has already damaged the party. For a look at the state of the DA and what this means, Bongiwe Zwane spoke to Professor Ntsikelelo Breakfast, Director for the Centre for Security, Peace, and Conflict Resolution at Nelson Mandela University.
