The DEMONS unravelled by the DA’s cession clause to axe De Lille are coming home to roost.

These malevolent beings are manifesting as a lack of faith.

Time bound, this manifestation sprouted before elections.

Following her last supper with the DA,

resurrecting back to her mayoral chair within hours for the sake of the people of Cape Town. For the sake of governance.

But what lays in a name?

Its fragility is shattered the second its trail lingers in a puddle of rainwater and used nappies along the squalor of Gugulethu.

In the heart of Nyanga. The outskirts of Khayelitsha or at a dump site in Mitchells Plain.

It is at the façade of a blemish where the essence starts to fade from a name.

I wonder if her heart still smiles the way she does.

Warm like the reception by supporters outside the high court in the Mother City.

But the roosting has begun.

It is not too often one fights a war from within the belly of a beast.

The Pan Africanist Congress constructed a wooden horse, the trojan Independent Democrats (ID) and you were hidden inside. For eight years the horse waited.

Aunty Pat, will you like the person that climbs out of the trojan horse and slays the DA?

Will this be the same being who blew the whistle on the South African arms deal?

Hero or villain, right noware in a loveless relationship Aunty Pat.

You are withstanding emotional abuse and kicking them right in the white privilege.

But this cloak-and-dagger court case has the capability to rip the DA apart.

We have been aware of #DayZero. It comes as no surprise when we see DA’s laundry out and assume it is dirty.

Politics are an eat or be eaten profession.

No wonder De Lille stays on her Xena Warrior Mayor mode in courtrooms and in Twitter streets.

But she didn’t have to mop the Twitter floor with DA’s “scripted” spokesperson, Natasha Mazzone’s silver locks.

She is a complete novice about the court case, that was a little mean.

Besides, the Twitter floor was already clean.

However, the thing about dirty laundry is that it may affect how X marks the spot.

The DA may think they will keep their voters post this fiasco.

But the devil you know is not always better.

Fires don’t burn the same.

Voters don’t have the luxury of nursing demons of a party.

They have a whole list to conquer of their own:

Taps are walking dry, electricity a guest running late.

And tin houses are for canned foods. Our people have no homes.

The rise and hopeful fall of fees and data is their distant cousin.

Their sibling is hunger. They can’t eat hashtags.

They are timekeepers of a timeline where 100s of millions of rand is spent on wi-fi.

The internet made us forget that we are hungry.

Their hope is the opposition party.

But the roosting there continues. It is well able to transform into a purge.

Could this purge rid voters of an X next to the DA logo?

Wipe the confidence voters had on the opposition?

This purge exposes the demons unravelled by the DA’s cession clause to axe De Lille.

These malevolent beings are manifesting as a lack of faith.

Time bound, this manifestation sprouted before elections.

But remember that all parties have their demons.
