@Morning_staa:

"Your perspective on politics does great service to inform incisive critical discourse on this platform. Thank you. I’ve been thrilled at seeing you soar since you left. Stay lifted. Don’t go back to the swamp."

@ircaledonian:

"Thanks for that, needs to be stressed more that parties have to be pushed to do way better. New parties ain't the solution. Better ward councillors, mayors and MPs = improved government."

The project helps prevent the spread on misleading information on social media before and during the local government elections on 1 November.

Phumzile Van Damme reveals the real reason she resigned from the Democratic Alliance

In related news, Briefly News previously reported that Phumzile has decided to set the record straight about the real reason she left her position and the party.

She took to the social media platform Twitter to air her grievances with the political organisation during the time she decided to tender her resignation, according to SowetanLIVE. Van Damme also called out DA party leader John Steenhuisen for lying about the reasons she resigned.

Phumzile stated that her resignation was motivated by an incident that went down between her and DA chief whip Natasha Mazzone.
