The ANC should stop "ego politicking" and give Democratic Alliance leader Helen Zille a chance to rule the Western Cape, the province's Cope leader Alan Boesak said on Sunday.
"For fifteen years the people of South Africa have given them (ANC) a chance and they have done so again in eight of the nine provinces.
"Why try and stir uphill challenges for the incoming administration of an opposition party when ultimately it is the ordinary South African that suffers under this kind of ego politicking," Boesak said in a statement.
The African National Congress selected a "shadow cabinet" to run the Western Cape last week, which will be headed by current premier Lynne Brown.
"While the DA and Zille may not be my ideal choice as a Western Cape provincial government either, the fact that they were voted into office by the same electorate that delivered the Western Cape to the ANC five years prior should be accepted and respected and the Western Cape afforded the same support from the ruling party as the regions that they control," Boesak said.
