SOUTH AFRICA: Democratic Alliance Holds Post-Federal Council Presser
SOUTH AFRICA
The leaders of South Africa's Democratic Alliance (DA) will hold a press conference after the meeting of its Federal Council at 09:15GMT/11:15SAST, which will be broadcast live here.
- The update from the DA's federal leaders coincides with an escalation in tensions with their foes-turned-allies from the African National Congress (ANC) over the Expropriation Act signed by President Cyril Ramaphosa.
- DA Federal Leader John Steenhuisen called for a "reset" in relations with the ANC and signalled that it could complicate the parliamentary debate on the budget next month.
- Today's briefing will be led by Steenhuisen alongside Federal Chairpersons Helen Zille and Ivan Meyer.
