JOHANNESBURG – Democratic Alliance (DA) federal leadership candidate John Moodey has announced that he is resigning from the party.
Moodey joined the Public Prosecutor’s Office in 1998 and has served as the party’s provincial leader since 2012.
He joins former Joburg Mayor Herman Mashaba and former party leader Mmusi Maimane on the list of people leaving the official opposition.

#GIVES Moodey: During a meeting, Hellen told them to get used to being a 20% party forever. I am affected by the lack of attempts to win back the votes of black, Indian and colored voters. KM

An excited Moodey began his presentation by recounting the evolution of his political career.
“I have been proud to contribute to the successes we have achieved by growing the DA in all racial groups and taking the fight to the ANC directly in their strongholds and trampling grounds, by standing up against political bigotry and intimidation, ensuring that spread the DA message to all communities and areas, not just in Gauteng but throughout South Africa. “
Moodey said he was leaving the DA because it was not the party he joined 22 years ago.
“Unfortunately, and after much examination of conscience, I have reached the point where I am unable to defend these insensitive expressions and statements. The lack of principles of the party in not adequately treating reparation in this very unequal society.”
Moodey faces charges for publicly defending Maimane.
He believes that if he stays longer, he will only face more unjustified charges.
