Helen Zille, chairperson of the DA’s Federal Council, has identified the EFF as her party’s main political opponent in South Africa. She argues that the EFF’s clear ideological stance makes it a more defined rival than other parties in the country’s multi-party system.

Speaking at a political discussion in Cape Town on Thursday evening, Zille said the DA and EFF stand out because of their sharply opposing views. The DA supports constitutional democracy, free markets, and individual rights, while the EFF pushes for radical economic transformation and state-led policies to address inequality. According to Zille, this clash of visions makes their rivalry especially significant.

Her comments come as South Africa’s political landscape shifts following the 2024 elections. The ANC, DA, and smaller parties formed a Government of National Unity (GNU), but the EFF chose to stay outside, positioning itself as a strong opposition force. This has deepened the divide between the two parties as they compete to shape the country’s future.

Zille also criticized the ANC for lacking clear principles, saying its policies change based on political convenience. In contrast, she acknowledged the EFF’s consistency in messaging, even if the DA strongly disagrees with its ideas.

The EFF has not yet responded to Zille’s remarks, but analysts say tensions between the two parties are rising, particularly in cities where they are both trying to win over young and middle-class voters. These groups are key to future elections, with the DA and EFF offering very different solutions on jobs, land reform, and governance.

With the 2026 local elections approaching, Zille’s statement signals the DA’s plan to sharpen its ideological contrast with the EFF. The party hopes to attract voters who want a clear alternative to radical policies, reinforcing its image as a defender of liberal democracy. This strategy is likely to shape political debates in the months ahead as both parties prepare for a fierce electoral battle.
