Politricking with Tshidi Madia: Helen Zille, DA Federal Chairperson
Description
On this week’s episode of Politricking with Tshidi Madia, DA Federal Chairperson Helen Zille joins Tshidi Madia in our Cape Town studios as she opens up about the state of the Government of National Unity as she reflects on the DA’s relationship with the ANC and the political stakes of remaining in the GNU. She shares her reaction to the firing of Minister Nkabane and weighs in on the unresolved issues with Health Minister Simelane while addressing the party’s growing public frustration with ANC-led policy decisions, including the NHI and Expropriation Act. She reflects on John Steenhuisen’s leadership and the DA’s performance in national and local government. She speaks about the party’s ambition to become a majority party. She also delves into succession politics and why Paul Mashatile remains a “no-go” for the DA. She addresses the controversy around Andrew Whitfield’s dismissal, and the DA’s strategic positioning on foreign policy—from Washington to Zuma in Morocco. She wraps up the conversation by reflecting on racial identity politics, Liam Jacobs’ departure, and the DA’s evolving relationship with voters.
