ID Leader Patricia de Lille says she is ‘greatly concerned’ by the
escalating tension around DA Leader Helen Zille’s recent remarks about
President Jacob Zuma.
`Legitimate questions have been asked about the composition of the Western Cape cabinet and it is unfortunate that these concerns were greeted with a personal attack on the President,’ says De Lille.
`There are many competent men and women of all colours and creeds in the province and yes, it would have been better to have a cabinet that was more representative.
‘I would like to call on all parties to be calm and to show some political maturity,’ De Lille.
`Elections are over and we now need to work together to build an inclusive society that looks after all our people.
‘Political leaders have a lot of work to do and need to get down to business, instead of slinging mud at each other,’ De Lille says.
