'Pot calling kettle black' after DA calls Nkonkou 'divisive figure who refers to whites as colonialists'.

The DA has been the "most racist political party in South Africa", says secretary-general of the Pan Africanist Congress of Azania (PAC) Apa Pooe. This came after the party's Johannesburg caucus expressed concerns with the appointment of the PAC's Tebogo Nkonkou as the new member of mayoral committee (MMC) for community development. Nkonkou will replace dismissed Al Jama-ah's Kabelo Gwamanda over his involvement in an alleged funeral insurance scam.

The DA said Nkonkou is a divisive figure who often refers to white people as "colonialists" and "settlers", among other controversial descriptions. However, in an interview with The Citizen yesterday, Pooe said the DA was trying to undermine the values and identity of the PAC by labelling Nkonkou a racist.
