Pieter du Toit | Dishonesty, the DA… and what voters really want

Voters will have to get real when deciding who to vote for. Do they want political leaders to snuggle with and who can whisper sweet nothings into their ears, or do they want parties that can actually govern? Asks Pieter du Toit.

David Maynier used to beat a path to the old Barclays Bank building, where parliamentary journalists sit, from the Marks Building, where most opposition parties have their lodgings.

He was there every Sunday and twice on weekdays, talking to reporters, sharing documents, dropping off committee papers and explaining the passage of bills or the state of oversight.
