💨 Abstract

Former DA MP Liam Jacobs criticized Helen Zille and the Democratic Alliance (DA) for systemic oppression and lack of representation for people of color. Jacobs defected to the Patriotic Alliance, citing the DA's failure to elect leaders of color. He responded to Zille's comments about his defection, arguing she missed the core issues of representation and meritocracy. Zille, on the other hand, hinted that Jacobs's disillusionment was due to his youth and inexperience.
