DA (Democratic Alliance) - political party, appears to be the subject of criticism in the video. Its actions are being discussed, and removing the name would change the topic.

I don’t believe it was intended to be used to buy land, sit on it for 9 years then sell it at a profit to a private developer. You can’t be a government that uses a “shortage of land” as a challenge for housing development when you selling off land, bought for that very purpose. #StopTheSale #Housing #Land #PublicLand #FYP
