simply coz she is the obvious choice, and people will oppose her simply cause she is the obvious choice. she has stepped on toes, and, in general, i have total love for her, she kicks ass, but because she is white, and female, she wont get the kind of support for the DA, if she was of colour, and a male. and that is a total anti-feminist feeling, but unfortunately, one has to see where the polical river flows. now is not the time to be radical, and try and go for the morally correct candidate. the DA needs a strong canditate, of colour.
Or someone, say like Hlomelo Biko, who is on our board of advisors, he should take a stand. his dad was killed by the police, so he should have a very strong voice amongst the people.
i think though, that the clever people try and steer clear of politics.
