I sit at my desk moving between anger and complete disbelief. I see your derogatory comments on President Zuma’s cabinet and your subsequent declaration that the the central government’s policies and practices will not dictate in the Western Cape. According to you, the policies and principles of the Democratic Alliance (DA) will govern the Western Cape.
The real question is: were there no women in the DA or ID list qualified to run any of these portfolios? This is a serious indictment of the skills and abilities of the women on these lists. Is it only Helen Zille who is capable and possessed of the skills to govern?
