DA Member of Parliament Ghaleb Cachalia has resigned

DA Member of Parliament Ghaleb Cachalia has resigned, citing disagreement over the party’s position on the Gaza conflict. The party accepts the resignation effective immediately but rejects Cachalia’s justifications, emphasising its commitment to peace and a two-state solution. They criticise him for disrespecting party processes and violating caucus decisions. The DA’s Solly Malatsi dismissed attacks on coalition partners, civil society, and internal systems, rebuffing attempts to scapegoat DA leader John Steenhuisen.
