	The Democratic Alliance is suffering from willful amnesia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
		Judging by statements made by Democratic Alliance (DA) leader Tony Leon at the launch of its registration campaign last week, the party is suffering a severe bout of self-inflicted amnesia.
		South Africa faces many challenges today, such as unemployment and low rates of savings, not as a result of the policies of the ANC, but because of what happened in South Africa during the years Leon spent in the all-white parliament.
		In fact, the South African economy had been shedding jobs for almost two decades by the time the ANC came into government, and was in an advanced state of near-terminal decline.

		Ever since F.W. de Klerk, former leader of the National Party and former president of South Africa, decided to un-ban the liberation movements in 1990 and usher in negotiations for an end to the apartheid system, the National Party’s core belief has been that it is a party that holds the higher moral political ground.
