Raadslede wat glo op \u2019n neerhalende manier na swart mense verwys en die beweerde toesmeer van onre\u00eblmatighede is van die redes hoekom Linda Landu, \u2019n DA-raadslid van die Drakenstein-munisipaliteit, besluit het om die party te verlaat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Koos Steyn, die DA se leier in die westelike-streek, wat Drakenstein insluit, het Landu se bedanking Maandag (10 Februarie) in \u2019n verklaring bevestig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Steyn is die DA geensins onkant betrap deur die nuus nie en ges\u00ea dit spruit uit \u2019n tugverhoor waardeur sy in die gesig gestaar sou word nadat sy glo by \u2019n saamtrek van \u2019n ander politieke party gesien is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Landu het egter vandeesweek telefonies aan Paarl Post <\/em>ges\u00ea sy is nooit oor die tugverhoor verwittig nie en dat die geleentheid wat sy bygewoon het, \u2019n kerkdiens was en nie \u2019n politieke saamtrek nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Volgens haar het die \u201cpolitieke onstabiliteit en verdeeldheid\u201d binne die DA-koukus haar nie meer tuis laat voel nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEk is nou al vir amper 15 jaar in die politiek. waarvan ek bykans 10 jaar aan die DA in Drakenstein afgestaan het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDinge het egter met die hele Conrad Poole-storie begin skeefloop toe raadslede by sy beweerde bedrog betrek is. Daar was \u2019n mosie om van hom ontslae te raak en DA-raadslede het ook vir sy verwydering gestem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDit is waar die verdeeldheid en binnegevegte begin het. Daar was \u2019n heksejag om uit te vind wie die raadslede was wat met die opposisie saamgestem het. Tot vandag toe heers daai wantroue nog in die party,\u201d het Landu ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDit het twee keer gebeur dat raadslede na swartmense in die munisipaliteit as \u2018bantoes\u2019 verwys het. Dit is geuiter in die teenwoordigheid van leiers wat nie \u2019n vinger gelig en \u2019n poging aangewend het om hierdie raadslede tot orde te roep nie. As die enigste swart DA-raadslid is ek lelik in die gesig gevat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOp dieselfde vergaderings sou daar ook bewerings van onre\u00eblmatighede wat deur raadslede gepleeg is, bespreek word. Net daar sou \u2019n beslissing gemaak geword word oor hoe die bewerings in die openbaar hanteer sal word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWat tans in die party gebeur, is glad nie meer in ooreenstemming met my waardes en die rede hoekom ek die politiek betree het nie. Te veel goed word onder die mat gevee. Ek moes eenvoudig gaan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Landu het bevestig dat sy haar nou by die Patriotic Alliance (PA) aangesluit het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEk is net \u2019n normale lid van die PA. Ek beklee geen posisies in die party nie. Ek is sedert die aankondiging oor my bedanking deur \u2019n aantal politieke partye genader, insluitend die ANC en die VF Plus.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sy was tot 2015 \u2019n ANC-raadslid in Mbekweni, waarna sy by die DA aangesluit het.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Raadslede wat glo op \u2019n neerhalende manier na swart mense verwys en die beweerde toesmeer van
