Helen Zille on Joburg chaos: Gayton "played" DA's Moonshot partners, always defaults to supporting ANC

Chair of the Democratic Alliance's federal executive, Helen Zille, has been publicly blamed for torpedoing an anti-ANC alliance's opportunity on Friday to take back governance of SA's richest metro. But just like at the BizNews Conference in March, Zille answers her critics with a powerful comeback - arguing that this was the third time Gayton MacKenzie's 'kingmaking' Patriotic Alliance let down Moonshot Pact partners. Zille points to the MacKenzie party's support of the ANC in Friday's crucial vote as evidence that her fellow opposition partners were once again "played". Nevertheless, she reckons the Moonshot Pact is alive and well - and its existence will prevent a similar disappointment in SA's watershed 2024 National Election. Zille spoke to Alec Hogg of BizNews.
