JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - South Africa's Democratic Alliance (DA), the biggest opposition to President Cyril Ramaphosa's African National Congress (ANC), dismissed as "rumours and gossip" a Sunday newspaper report that said the party was about to split.
The City Press, citing unnamed sources, said at least five senior MPs unhappy with the direction the party was taking under leader Mmusi Maimane were planning to form a breakaway "true liberal party" ahead of elections next year.
