DA should evaluate its own leadership

6 December 2006

The Ministry of Health rejects the report card of the Democratic Alliance on the performance of members of Cabinet that the party released today.

The DA should be channeling its energies towards evaluating its own leadership with the aim of finding a capable leader who can undo the damage caused by Tony Leon in opposition politics in the country. The next leader of the DA faces an enormous task of transforming the party from being a bunch of government-bashers to a constructive player in improving the lives of the historically disadvantaged people of South Africa.

The party should learn that a pat on the back from the DA is not a compliment but a shame to those who stand for the interests of the poor in the country.
