John Steenhuisen, the outgoing leader of the DA, painted himself in glory in his farewell speech on Wednesday, saying his leadership masterminded the demise of the ANC.
Steenhuisen revealed he will not stand for re-election as party leader and will instead focus on his role as minister of agriculture.
I have delivered everything I had promised my party when I was elected back in 2019. We have ministers and MECs and this was imagined from a party which once polled at 1.7, he said.
