Zille’s antics a big disservice to the DA

There is an interesting irony about the tension between Democratic Alliance (DA) leader Mmusi Maimane and his predecessor, Helen Zille. The irony lies less in the fact that Zille mentored Maimane but is more about how Zille changed the DA. Maimane, as the first black leader of the party, is a direct product of the changes the DA underwent in its attempt to attract black people. Mostly, these changes coincided with Zille’s leadership. The question is whether Zille is about to destroy what she built.
