That\u2019s what this is all about,\u201d he said. \u201cYou\u2019ll never see these political mercenaries in small parties campaigning in ANC provinces like Limpopo or North West. Why? Because they know that the ANC has already stolen everything there is to steal in those provinces.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe rest of the country is bankrupt, so the last place left to loot is the Western Cape.\u201dZibi took issue with this.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI stand before you as a freshly minted black radical who wants to take away property rights. Me, former editor of Business Day, senior official in a commercial bank, and an investment bank, and a mining company and a car manufacturing company. Me, but that\u2019s the South Africa in which we live. We don\u2019t know each other, sometimes we refuse to know each other or we decline the opportunity to know each other or understand one another\u2019s experiences,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>They were being called \u201cmercenaries\u201d for listening to voters unhappy with the DA government, and for offering an alternative, he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe has even said we are gangsters who are going to pillage this province. You cannot say you believe in democracy but then cry foul when someone else tries to exercise it on what you deem to be your own turf,\u201d said Zibi about Steenhuisen. \u201cLeave aside the entitlement of this, the idea that no-one has the right to challenge a party in power. John asks, why are they coming to the Western Cape? Coming? From where?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the worst kind of swart gevaar. It is illiberal, it is divisive, and it further proof that the DA under [Helen] Zille and Steenhuisen will never reach the black voters it needs if it is to govern South Africa. \u201cIn fact, it\u2019s the reason so many credible black leaders have left the DA; some of them have joined Rise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Zibi spoke about how old parties stay in power, saying this was due to broken politics where politics are transactive and people saw politics as something that benefits politicians, not the people. \u201cAnd so they often refuse to vote if a down payment of sorts is not made: what can you give us if we give you your vote? Increasingly, they just opt out. This means the old parties fight for a dwindling electorate, and benefit from grudge votes, or resigned votes, rather than a committed base.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said people wanted leaders to know and understand their experience, and offer solutions coloured by empathy and compassion and the willingness to genuinely listen. They also want solutions that bring people together across race and class rather than drive them apart. To date, that alternative has not existed, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Zibi said parties in the multi-party coalition claim they are going to \u201cfix\u201d or \u201crescue\u201d South Africa, suggesting \u201cthat a Messiah will swoop in and sort things out\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs the DA that Messiah on the basis of its track record in the Western Cape? Many people in Khayelitsha, Mitchells Plain and Manenberg disagree.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said he was using the DA because he was speaking in Cape Town and because its leader has decided to pay particular attention to Rise Mzansi and was not being entirely truthful while doing so. Zibi said even if it was true that service delivery was better in the Western Cape, the DA\u2019s attitude was \u201ca total turn-off\u201d to most of the country\u2019s population.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s an English word for it: arrogance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Under its current leadership, the DA was destined to be divisive and racialised, rather than truly nonracial and representative of all South Africans.<\/p>\n<p>Zibi said South Africa needed new leaders who come from communities themselves, who have legitimacy within them and who treat the communities as constituencies, and represent their interests in parliament if elected, and report back to them with diligence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need new leaders who ask the people what they need, rather than tell them what\u2019s good for them. Who use something other than shock tactics even to marshal their own support base.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-africa\">South-Africa<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Africa.
