Helen Zille’s mayoral bid exposes Joburg’s collapse and forces Ramaphosa to admit DA-run cities deliver where ANC fails. Helen Zille has done more the past few weeks to put Johannesburg’s future on the agenda than any number of “commitments” and “family gatherings” of our bland president, or even the threat of national embarrassment at the upcoming G20 summit. The embarrassment of the “DA was correct” memes would soon have been forgotten if the ANC had been genuinely repentant and committed to making amends. He told councillors to stop sulking and get on with doing their jobs – delivering services in a clean, accountable way. Efficiency and honesty should not only be DA traits – they should be national.
