Gayton declares all-out war on the DA…

Patriotic Alliance (PA) President Gayton McKenzie has declared all-out war on the Democratic Alliance (DA) after his recent olive branch to the opposition party “expired”. Speaking to BizNews after another two by-election victories, he says:  “It's war. It's full-out war. We are not playing. I extended the olive branch because I do think that the Western Cape will not be best served with the ANC (African National Congress) coming back…And they then answered that by insulting me…” McKenzie says the PA has been winning 80% of the by-elections it has fought, and he doesn’t think the DA will get 35 per cent of the vote in the Western Cape. Meanwhile, he says Economic Freedom Fighter (EFF) leader Julius Malema understands that the upcoming election is a match between the EFF and the PA. “So I'm saying that if you are a white person, it's no longer time to vote for your normal parties… Let's keep Malema out. I'm the only guy that can stand up to that fool. I'm the only one that can stand up to that mafia. South Africa doesn't deserve a guy like Malema.”
