Twitter reactions to DA, Agang SA merger

Many South Africans have taken to Twitter to express their views on the merger 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.
