On DA’s Bergman responds on “Cape Town Declaration”
DAVID HERSCH: “Our policy is very clear and always been,” he said, the DA supported “a two-state solution with Jerusalem as the capital of both states.” – If the DA supports a policy with Jerusalem as the capital of both states, I will not be voting for them.

DAVID HERSCH: I am saddened by the mindlessness of the DA in allowing this matter and their inability to respond immediately as we should all be fighting the ANC and
its policies, national and international … Party hacks are an anathema to me.
