Mmusi Maimane, DA parliamentary leader has said on Monday that he was going to build a version of the party that was more consistent and did not "flip-flop" in its stance on important issues.
"We flip-flop on issues, we support the NDP [National Development Plan] then we don't. We support redress, then we vote for bills that are racist fundamentally. That is not what I'm trying to build. I'm trying to build a party that is consistent, " he said in a televised debate with Democratic Alliance federal chairperson Wilmot James.
Maimane's comment was in response to a question initially asked his opponent James by a journalist on the party initially voting for the Employment Equity Act Amendment Bill in Parliament, only to say it was mistake, and the party's relationship with the NDP.
"We are becoming an alternate ANC under the current leadership and I aim to set that right," James his opponent said.
Indications show that this is the first time DA is coming near to having a black leader...
