Viva Tony Leon!
Viva Helen Zille!

It’s just a pity the DA are unfortunately too pale to get the recognition they deserve…

“Largely chronological, Mr Leon’s autobiography is also partly thematic. He describes his involvement in, and shares his thoughts on, some of the country’s biggest challenges: AIDS, Zimbabwe, the erosion of parliament’s oversight role since 1994, and what he sees as the ruling party’s attempt to extend its tentacles into independent institutions such as the media and the courts.

He enjoyed a warm relationship with Mr Mandela, whose offer of a cabinet job Mr Leon nonetheless turned down in 1997. Later, when Mr Mandela accused the opposition parties of being “Mickey Mouse organisations”, Mr Leon retorted that he ran a “Goofy government”. A few weeks later, Mr Leon heard a knock on the door of his hospital room just before he was to undergo open-heart surgery. It was Mr Mandela, who called out, “Hullo, Mickey Mouse, this is Goofy, can I come in?”

This contrasted with the iciness that characterised Mr Leon’s relations with Thabo Mbeki, Mr Mandela’s successor as president. Mr Leon describes the battle for the leadership of the ANC last year between Mr Mbeki and Jacob Zuma as “the evil of two lessers”. Yet even Mr Mbeki has admitted that after believing Mr Leon to be a racist to the core, he came to realise he was a democrat to the bone.”

The 23-year-old wing is out on bail of R2 000 after his first court appearance in the magistrate’s court. He is set to appear in court again on May 6.
