Liam Jacobs and Gayton McKenzie. Picture: Instagram PA leader Gayton McKenzie says he wishes former member Liam Jacobs well as he returns to the DA, but warned him to keep the party out of his mouth. “Los die PA uit jou mond(Leave the PA out of your mouth),” McKenzie said on Monday evening during a livestream on Facebook, reacting to Jacobs’ return to the DA.
The party announced hisreturn as a consultant on Sunday evening, less than a year after he left the party and joined the PA. DA leader Geordin Hill-Lewis said Jacobs’ return is a reflection of the kind of party the DA is building. “Liam Jacobs left the PA because he saw firsthand that the PA never delivers on promises.
People sometimes take the wrong road. What matters is whether they are willing to correct course and recommit themselves to the work of building a better South Africa,” Hill-Lewis said. In astatement after the announcement, Jacobs explained why he left the PA to rejoin the DA.

Jacobs claimed he was “misled by lies” in the PA, admitting he made a mistake in leaving the DA for it. The former MP said he saw the PA’s culture and focus explicitly contravened his values after months behind the curtain. “The PA has sold out its voters to the ANC,” he declared.
He also criticised the PA for defending Fadiel Adams, violent xenophobia, centralised decisions, cadre deployment and disciplining members via Facebook Live. Jacobs concluded that the PA “operates in a space of anarchy” with no democracy, accountability, or structures for policy development and oversight.
