PODCAST | 'A DA march that wasn't'

‘’The DA was not actually marching to Luthuli House but past Luthuli house. That’s a first. The march was redirected and it turns out the members of the ANC Youth League, those toothless young lions, were waiting and ready for the DA, sjamboks in hand, to defend Luthuli House.

‘’Why carry whips, you ask? They said the whips were to direct the DA members to Megawatt Park, offices of Eskom.”

The DA’s Natasha Mazzone was not deterred by the sjamboks. ‘’I would like to see the person who sjamboks me. They won’t reach me. That I know for sure,” she said.

ANC national spokesperson Pule Mabe accused the DA of being provocative:  “How do you march to a political party to take a memorandum on electricity? Do you see a power station here at Luthuli house? There is no Kusile [power station] here. There is no power station here. They [DA] are opportunistic, provocative and grandstanding.”
