ANC Will Never Be DA’s Branch, Lesufi Tells Zille to Heal

Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi firmly rejected the idea of the African National Congress (ANC) aligning with the Democratic Alliance (DA), asserting that the ruling party will never become part of the opposition. Lesufi’s strong rebuttal followed comments made by DA Federal Council Chairperson Helen Zille, who claimed that the ANC was losing its identity by allegedly cooperating with the DA on various issues.

Addressing the claims at a public event in Gauteng, Lesufi emphasized the ANC’s deep-rooted history of fighting for the liberation of the majority of South Africans. He stressed that the party has no intention of merging with or yielding to the influence of any opposition group. For Lesufi, Zille’s remarks were not only inaccurate but also a deliberate attempt to undermine the ANC’s political influence in the region.

As the country prepares for the 2024 national elections, tensions between the ANC and DA have intensified. Zille’s statements were seen by many as part of the DA’s broader strategy to position itself as the primary opposition to the ANC’s ongoing rule. Zille accused the ANC of compromising its values for short-term political gain, particularly in regions where coalition governments are becoming the norm.

Lesufi, however, countered by stating that the ANC remains fully committed to its principles and does not seek validation from the DA or any other opposition party. In a pointed response to Zille, he suggested that she focus on “recovering” from past political defeats instead of making baseless accusations. He also expressed confidence in the ANC’s future, asserting that the party will continue to be a dominant force in South African politics, despite the challenges it faces.

As the political landscape heats up ahead of the elections, the ANC and DA appear set for further confrontation, with Lesufi making it clear that his party will not be dictated to by the opposition.
