Geordin Hill-Lewis can’t demand order while Helen Zille coddles the mob

GOOD Party councillor Roscoe Palm argues that the Democratic Alliance cannot distance itself from South Africa's current wave of anti-migrant politics, alleging the party helped legitimise exclusionary rhetoric through past political strategies and messaging. In this opinion piece, Palm criticises Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis' response to the displacement of migrants, accusing the DA of reacting too slowly while failing to confront its own historical role in shaping anti-immigration narratives. He contends that meaningful leadership requires both defending constitutional rights and acknowledging the political decisions that, in his view, contributed to the current climate.
