DA MP Nomsa Tarabella-Marchesi has ditched the party and found a new political home in Rise Mzansi.
She was a DA MP for 10 years, including being the deputy spokesperson for women, youth and persons with disabilities.
Speaking to News24, she was scathing about DA leader John Steenhuisen and DA federal council chairperson Helen Zille's leadership styles.I just feel like sometimes it's not very much inclusive and it is more like top-down decision-making. Decisions are made somewhere else and are filtered through and you just have to follow that. It's not the type of environment I want to continue to be a part of."They are basically consolidating their 20% vote.
Tarabella-Marchesi said it"doesn't feel right" bearing the title of MP when one could not effect change the way she wished she could in the DA. "There are people who believe in the policies of Mzansi in the Free State. All I have to do is work hard to educate those who have lost trust in politicians and bring back their trust," Tarabella-Marchesi said.
