In his recent coloumn for BD live titled ‘The death of South Africa’s imagination’Gareth Van Onselen - head of politics and governance at the South African Institute of Race Relations says
“False moral equivalence allows the weak and superficial to maintain the pretence that the ANC and DA occupy the same position on the moral spectrum” According to him, “Thuma Mina” is not a call merely to action; it is an invitation to think a certain way. He continues to say there is no element of the DA’s track record that does not decimate that of the ANC’s. It creates jobs while the ANC wipes jobs out. It runs clean governments while the ANC destroys governments.
