Former DA leader HelenZille says leadership attributes are far greater than the colour of a person’s skin, following a controversial opinion column calling on party leader Mmusi Maimane to step down. READ HERE: sabcnews

This after the Institute of Race Relations analyst, Hermann Pretorius, wrote an article last week calling on Maimane to step down and be replaced by Western Cape premier Alan Winde.

Pretorius added that Winde could possibly reintroduce the notion that race was irrelevant to whether someone could serve the country. Zille has suspended her fellowship with the IRR following her decision to join the contest to lead the party’s Federal Council. She says the article was writen by Pretorius as an opinion piece.

“The bottom line is Hermann Pretorius, who is a young colleague at the IRR, was asked to write a column for the online newspaper. He did that in his own voice, with his own opinion and he is entitled to do. He did not consult with anybody, he certainly didn’t consult me. I did not agree with his wording. The core point he was trying to make was the race should not be the overriding determinant of leadership in the DA, and I do agree with that.
