The falling-out has rocked the DA, which is embroiled in a bitter battle over its black leadership. The tensions could fuel claims that its attitude to black leaders in its ranks smacks of window-dressing. Zille told the partys federal executive meeting in Johannesburg on Friday that she had opposed Mazibukos candidature as parliamentary leader against Eastern Cape leader Athol Trollip. But, she said, she had supported Mazibuko once her candidature had been declared because she could not run the risk of a black candidate losing. Zille told the meeting she made Mazibuko and went on to attack her record as parliamentary leader, claiming she saved her several times. She painted a picture of Mazi-buko as incompetent and out of her depth, saying she promoted, defended and protected her and that Mazibuko was nothing without her. - Timeslive.
