[MUST WATCH] Kaya FM resident analyst @CoruscaKhaya says the DA’s scrapping off the B.E.E model saying it doesn’t work and then not providing an alternative does not work in their favour #BreakfastwithDavid pic.twitter.com/x5E1x4c3lE

Consequently, to completely reset it and propose something new that must be embraced by voters over the next 9 months would be a massive gamble anyway. Whatever new model the DA has in mind, they couldn’t possibly formulate and communicate it in a manner that gets broad and popular buy-in between now and the general election. Perhaps the DA should have delayed its announcement until it had an alternative – any alternative – to propose. To rush into the announcement and then leave this vacuum is strange. But perhaps they took their lessons from the equally strange job by the ANC of going public about a Constitutional amendment they haven’t even started drafting.
The more things change…
