Behind closed doors at a Sandton hotel on Tuesday evening, Democratic Alliance Gauteng provincial leaders sat down with federal party structures for a meeting that nobody announced, nobody confirmed, and almost nobody was supposed to know happened. The gathering drew senior figures from the province’s internal caucus alongside key federal councillors, according to two sources with direct knowledge of the discussions. John Steenhuisen’s inner circle coordinated the session, and the timing — sandwiched between a bruising national executive committee cycle and rising noise from within Gauteng structures — was no accident.
