I am positive after this event, Maimane and FedEx did well in coming to this compromise.

I think that most of the people who reacted without calming down, by rebooking their memberships and publicly saying "no more DA", might have to humble themselves later.

I saw the true power of this statement when I read the EFF presser by Mbuyiseni. I agree that they called Zille out, but they also referred back to their 2016 "we are not coalition with DA" statement. Which indirectly showed some satiety with the action taken by Maimane.

The reality for all of us is that there's no turning back to ANC, it's an absolutely corrupt party with no redemption at sight. The local government "partnership" between the minority is the only hopeful project. EFF over-reacted, and they reverted.

If COJ and COT can deliver on their promises of growth, more Pele will vote EFF and DA in 2019. Even the 7 Pillar critics of EFF with do an U-turn on their arm-chair critiquery.
