LETTER OF CONCERN TO NEW LEADERS OF THE DEMOCRATIC ALLIANCE

LETTER OF CONCERN TO NEW LEADERS OF THE DEMOCRATIC ALLIANCE

Dear Members of the Democratic Alliance Federal Legal Commission, Federal Council, and Federal Executive,

The EMS Foundation writes to you not merely as a civil society organisation, but as a participant in South Africa’s democratic project, one that is increasingly alarmed by what appears to be a profound and politically consequential shift within the Democratic Alliance (DA). At stake is not only environmental policy, but the DA’s credibility as a constitutional party, its claim to ethical governance, and its commitment to non-racialism, accountability, and the public good.

The attached letter was originally sent on the 20^th March 2026, unfortunately we never even received an acknowledgement of receipt of that communication. Given the lack of response to the letter sent on 20th March 2026, we believe that the subject matter is important enough to resubmit the letter to the new Democratic Alliance leaders.
