DA confirms resignation of Dion George
The Democratic Alliance has confirmed that Chairperson of Federal Finance and a member of parliament, Dion George, is no longer a member of the party.
George announced his decision in an interview with eNCA on Thursday (15 January).
“Today, I have written to the Democratic Alliance (DA) to cancel my party membership that I have held since 1995,” he said, reading from a prepared statement.
“I also resign as the party’s Chairperson of Federal Finance and as a member of parliament of the Republic of South Africa, where I was first sworn in on 17 January 2008. The situation has become intolerable. I am being pushed out, and it is no longer feasible for me to remain in the Party.
The situation has become intolerable. I am being pushed out, and it is no longer feasible for me to remain in the party,” said George.
He terminated his DA membership following a spat with party leader John Steenhuisen.
“I heard via the media on November 7 2025, that John Steenhuisen had written to the president to request my removal as minister of forestry, fisheries and the environment, while I was representing our country at COP30 in Brazil,” he said.
