The members released a statement under the banner of the Royal House of Mandela saying that they are disgusted by what they call the abuse of Madiba’s voice for its electoral purposes in a YouTube video.
The Royal House of Mandela said that the DA should have the honesty to use the voices of former leaders like Tony Leon and Helen Zille.
The family said that these former DA leaders "gathered the laager of white privilege since 1994" and should be used for the party’s election campaigns instead of Madiba.
