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.
🚨 TOP SECRET OF ACTIONSA? 🤫
Imagine spending 6 years building a political party, then someone asks, "How many members do you have?"... and the answer is:
"It's top secret." 😭🤣
Now we're not sure if it's political party or the intelligence services.
Even stokvels announce how many members they have. @Action4SA ? Classified information! 😂
Maybe every party has its top secrets like @MYANC CR17 and Phala Phala secrets
Dear @CapitecBankSA I first started banking with you as a student & have been a loyal customer ever since. However, following your recent financial donation to the @Our_DA, I am formally serving notice of my intention to cancel all my accounts.
@kimheller3@NalediChirwa Whenever elections approach, Afrophobia & negative publicity are aggressively marketed to de-campaign @EFFSouthAfrica unduly.Given this poor std of journalism, I objectively boycott @News24 and its associated media agencies and journalists due to their institutional bias

@MYANC Aside from ANC youth league heavy involvement in internal ANC politics and factions, what tangible community programs or official events did the ANC Youth League actually organize for Youth Day?
@Lesufi I have tried everything possible. Despite lodging a call with @CityPowerJhb, I am now going on 5 days without electricity. Unlike @helenzille, I cannot swim" through this situation. I urgently need your help to get my matter resolved. Thank you for your attention.
@Thabisoo you can convert a petrol-powered car to run on Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), commonly referred to as "Autogas" in South Africa, and there are several specialized installers operating in the Johannesburg and Gauteng area
