Opposition parties seek unity

Independent Democrats leader Patricia de Lille says most opposition parties have limitations that are not allowing either one of them to appeal to the majority of South Africans.

De Lille addressed a special ID conference in Cape Town, attended by the Democratic Alliance’s Helen Zille, the Congress of the People’s Mosiuoa Lekota and the United Democratic Movement’s Bantu Holomisa.

Newsflash News Agency reports that De Lille appealed to ID delegates for a mandate to conclude unity negotiations with like-minded opposition parties within 180 days.

She says the opposition needs to put away their petty differences, egos and entrenched positions to give voters a viable alternative to the African National Congress.
