Helen Zille Says Mzansi's Political Future Depends On the DA and EFF, But Working With Malema is Not an Option

• Seasoned politician Helen Zille is confident that the Democratic Alliance is on a path to governing South Africa in 2024
• Zille stated in a recent interview that the opposition party is seeing a steady growth by South Africans believe it is all a pipe dream
• The DA's Federal Chairperson also weighed on Mzansi's political landscape and said the DA and EFF hold SA's future

JOHANNESBURG - The Democratic Alliance's Federal Chairperson Helen Zille says her political organisation is ready to govern South Africa in 2024, but some South Africans believe she is dreaming.

In a recent television interview, Zille addressed several issues, such as the great exodus of black leaders from the DA, coalition politics and the prospects of partnering with the Economic Freedom Fighters.

According to Zille, the DA is the fastest-growing political movement in urban centres, with an 11% popularity rate behind the African National Congress (ANC), reported SABC News.

The controversial politician added that she was confident that with the help of opposition parties, the DA would govern in 2024 and beat the ANC. Zille also stated that Mzansi's political future depended on the DA and the EFF; however, her party would never partner with the EFF.

While the EFF helped the DA gain power in the City of Ekurhuleni, Zille stated that the party's policies are not in line with the DA's. She also added that the DA respects the EFF even though they would not work with the EFF.

Action SA spokesperson and City of Ekurhuleni councillor Siyanda Makhubo called Zille a liar for denying the working relationship between the DA and EFF. Makhubo wrote in a tweet that the DA and EFF work well together, and the DA passed the 2022/2023 budget because they consulted with the EFF.

“But what you said Helen about black people being better in poverty in Langa than they are in any township shows that you celebrate when black people are in poverty, otherwise you would have been ashamed to say such.”
