DA criticised over AbaThembu king meeting─── 13:17 Mon, 15 Jul 2013
A political analyst has criticized the DA's move to meet with AbaThembu king, Buyelekhaya Dalindyebo - as a tactic to boost support ahead of next year's elections.
The king has recently publicly expressed his disillusionment with the ruling party whilst also taking a swipe at President Jacob Zuma's leadership style. Lubna Nadvi says the DA's timing is too convenient.
However the DA's Athol Trollip has denied this, saying they don't depend on the king's popularity to grow as a party.
