Two National Freedom Party (NFP) members in the National Assembly, Maliyakhe Shelembe and Scelo Mabika, have jumped the ship to join the Democratic Alliance (DA).
The two leaders appear on the DA’s list to the National Assembly.
Shelembe and Mabika are respectively former chairperson and deputy chairperson of the NFP.
The two had strained relations with the NFP after the party failed to contest the 2016 Municipal Elections while they were at the helm of the organisation.
Shelembe is higher on the DA list than long serving member Dianne Kohler-Barnard while Mabika is also higher on the list than DA MP Haniff Hoosen.
