JOHN STEENHUISEN REMAINS TOP PARTY LEADER
Meanwhile, earlier this year, former Johannesburg mayor Mpho Phalatse announced that she wants to enter the race to become the next leader of the Democratic Alliance (DA).
She said that the DA needs a dynamic leader who is familiar with the concept of ‘servant leadership’. The announcement came a few days after her ousting as Johannesburg mayor during a no-confidence vote. However, her contest was unsuccessful as Steenhuisen successfully reclaimed his position.
