I don't think the @Our_DA realises what damage John Steenhuisen just did to their voter base with his @News24 Interview.
First, let's define the term "AfriMaga", considering John, with the help of Ryan Coetzee, coined the term.
In John's own words, "Afrimaga" are people who support the following organisations and who are conservative:
- Afriforum (300,000 members)
- Solidariteit (200,000 members)
- Sakeliga (Represents 12,000 businesses)
- SAAI (6000+ members)
So, according to John, if you support any of the above-mentioned organisations OR are conservative (right-wing), then John believes you don't share the DA's values and principles, as you are "AfriMaga" supporters.
He even goes further to say that some of you are "racists" and are the people who voted "NO" in the referendum.
I can say comfortably that John just directly insulted more than two million people who have in the past voted for the DA and would have potentially voted for them again.
He also says all of the above as the DA welcomes Cllrs from the ANC/EFF/MK into their party and deploys them as councillors. So communists and socialists are welcome in the DA, but not conservative people who support organisations like Afriforum and Solidariteit.
Don't believe me that this is what he said? Watch the video, and if you think I snipped this out of context, you can find it at the 34 minute mark of the original News24 video.
@OwiDube@CommentaryPol@RomanCabanac@steve_hofmeyr Jy is die dom doos and your Gov just destroys, build nothing, you also want co-ownershop of companies build by others in their own time, own abilities and capital, you are fucking parasites
@geordinhl@Our_DA Geordin, I really expected more from you than this cheap political attempt to discredit Pieter Groenewald who is doing an excellent job, unlike Steenhuizen who is making a big mess. I thought you would be different from motormouth Steenhuizen, my vote is lost for the DA.
@LCabonena@VoteWiseNetwork BEE and ANC politics are both very lucrative, meanwhile voters live in poverty in steets filled with garbage and sewerage water
@SolidariDirk Oh Really, he cant organise a piss up in a brewery and how much of this so called money will go to incompetent and corrupt BEE cadres...my guess everything...only problem is who will finance the scam this time?
