The myth that where the DA governs it governs better and a qualified bureaucracy is in place has been shattered beyond a shadow of doubt in Tshwane and Joburg. Suddenly a party that had portrayed itself as a paragon of moral virtue and as being beyond reproach finds itself exposed from all fronts and having lost the credibility to govern. The only way to resolve this impasse is to go back to the electorate and request a fresh mandate. The ANC is not prepared to govern through a back door and will respect whatever the will of the people is on this matter."
