GOOD party leader and former Cape Town mayor Patricia de Lille said on Wednesday evening that she had warned DA leader Mmusi Maimane that if he did not stand on principle, he would be "swallowed up".
Maimane resigned on Wednesday followed by federal chairperson Athol Trollip.
"When I resigned from the DA on my own terms a year ago on 31 October 2018, it was after learning bitter lessons that the party’s stated policies were window-dressing not matched by its practises in government.
"I hate to say I told you so but I am going to say it anyway. I am not claiming to be a sangoma but I warned Mmusi Maimane that if he didn’t stand on principle his party’s laptop boys would swallow him up and spit him out. He saw the blue train coming but didn’t know how to get out of the way," said de Lille.
Maimane and his handlers had no clue about principled leadership, she added.
"The DA is well on its way on the path of destruction, and it’s best we don’t disturb them. South Africans who care about all our people must continue to come together for common GOOD. To Mmusi I say: GOOD bye, Im glad to see you go and hope you have a GOOD time."
