Democratic Alliance leader Helen Zille announced that she would be stepping down from the position at the party’s upcoming conference.
“I won’t be available for re-election,” Zille told reporters. The DA is due to hold its elective federal conference in May.
She added: “This decision has been a long time coming, but I decided on it when the time was right.”
This decision has paradoxically been a long time coming, but it was on Thursday that I took a firm decision that I would not be standing for leadership next month.

Zille added that “the overriding reason” for her decision “are the best interests of the Democratic Alliance”.
