Mzwanele Manyi is ready to poach Phumzile Van Damme from the DA

The former ANN7 boss invited the DA MP to join the 'party of the woke'.


The head of policy and strategy of the African Transformation Movement (ATM) has extended an invitation to DA MP and shadow minister of communications to join his new political home.

This after Van Damme publicly engaged her fellow DA members in a debate over Helen Zille’s proposed tax revolt.

Former DA policy head Gwen Ngwenya also weighed in on the debate, prompting Van Damme to question Ngwenya’s assertions.

Ngwenya chose not to respond directly to Van Damme and instead opted to subtweet her by responding to another Twitter user.

And it was this very display that prompted Manyi to extend an invitation to join the ATM to Van Damme, which many on social media dismissed as the height of optimism.
