Many South Africans have taken to social media to express their views on the Agang SA and DA merger.
DA leader Helen Zille announced during a press conference that Political party Agang SA leader Mamphela Ramphele will be the Democratic Alliance's presidential candidate in the upcoming general elections.
Here are some of the reactions:
@stoanito: When joining #AgangSA did you know you were joining #DA ???
@MyNameIsM0: AgangSA never stood a chance from the beginning. Excellent move!
@xolelwanx: a political breakthrough for SA. Two women with common interest to build a better SA. Lets put race and emotions aside.
@PhutiM: One of my 2014 resolutions was to change my vote to new formed parties. but move by @AgangSA. Leader shows many are lost.
@MTshwete: I call on the Public Protector to investigate whether or not members who paid for Agang membership, will get their money back.
@phillipdewet: I really thought Agang and the DA would wait until after the elections to merge. Ramphele's internal projections must have been disastrous.
@Pol_Sec_Analyst : South African politics: More interesting than FIFA's football transfer window. Although if i was #DA, I'd loan #Agang instead of buying it
@Syassessor: Mamphele has a great business profile as a doctor and corruption free leader against Zuma. Good move to DA.

Carlton Mmaswi Mmela: I wonder why people are suprised by Mamphela's move to DA. She always got handouts. She was a director of companies because of ANC B.E.E policies, she is not someone who has to work to get to the top, hence she accepted the handout from DA.
Maria Dladla: Wow! Anything to get rid of Zuma!! But S.Africa is not ready for a female president. ANC must produce one who is highly enlightened than Zuma!!
Madise Polo Paul-Zuhair Mphuthi: That's a good move for our country and we need a change in politics. We all love the ANC but i think we should vote the DA in power to solve our problems.
Oliki Hlalele: These coalitions are going 2 change politics in RSA now. I like it. It's "Wa lala wa sala" 2 small parties & a wake-up call 2 de ruling party. Democracy is now beginning 2 entrench in de society.
