The Rainbow Nation project in South Africa has failed, according to Mmusi Maimane in an interview with Time Magazine.<\/p>\n
The leader of South Africa’s opposition party, the Democratic Alliance, said that the generation of leaders who started the Rainbow Nation project has faded, and the voices on the rise, seek to divide.<\/p>\n
Maimane was speaking ahead of the local municipal elections taking place next week (3 August), with the country still plagued by racism.<\/p>\n
The DA leader himself, has been accused of being a puppet for a ‘white party’. President Jacob Zuma this week <\/a>called Maimane a \u201cscarecrow\u201d adding that his party does not know if it is white or black.<\/p>\n \u201cThe poor man (Maimane) hasn\u2019t read the history of this country, and he is no different to the few black people who sided with whites during oppression,\u201d Zuma said.<\/p>\n \u201cThey don\u2019t know whether they are white or black. They don\u2019t know what they are standing for.\u201d<\/p>\n
