PEACE OUT: Dion George resigned as a DA minister

George announced his skie-like bedanking last week during a sit-down interview with eNCA, where he read a statement outlining his reasons for leaving the party he joined in 1995.

He said he had written to the DA on Thursday to cancel his membership and had also stepped down as the party’s federal chairperson of finance and as a Member of Parliament.

"The situation has become intolerable. I am being pushed out and it is no longer feasible for me to remain in the party," George said.
