'To brand blacks as looters and political pretenders is wrong. Please withdraw and apologise.'

Dandala accused another user of failing to understand what white privilege was after being asked why he wore a suit, suggesting he should not be critiquing colonialism while wearing something associated with colonial influence.

Zille quickly jumped in to counter Dandala's argument, saying he did not"understand black privilege". "My point is that racial generalizations work both ways. If you can generalize about 'white privilege' there are plenty of generalizations that can be made about 'black privilege'," said Zille."Dear @helenzille white privilege is universal and comes with the premium the world places on whiteness plus accumulated historical advantages. To equate it with black privilege is myopic.

You are spreading FakeNews Helen Zille specifically ringfenced her comments to black people who looted SA and then got reelected. That can only be ANC/SACP politicians and certainly not all black people.

Who's been looting SA to near bankruptcy then, Eskimos?

Madonsela is proving Zille right, she's literally saying black people are above criticism, withdraw and apologise or else cc ThuliMadonsela3 helenzille BlackPrivilege

Thuli seems to have missed something important here.

Blacks are as human as whites lets move on in life and form a better south africa for all

Zille’s sheep skin gradually but surely shedding.

Likewise, to brand and label all white people with the same brush is also wrong. That is the point that was being made

Whoever is condoning Zille is doing so at DA's peril. I for one will never vote for it again and didn't vote for it this last time 😎

Hahahahaha well in this country she actually telling the truth. Lol

PROOF HER WRONG PLEASE

BEE tenderpreneurs is black privilege. If you're not level 1 you have to attract private sector wealth by delivering quality or else you become obsolete.

It is time Musi Maimane reprimands Hellen! Will you Musi?

No dont

Oh now they are twisting it! How unfair!

Or the propensity towards cowardly mob attacks on vulnerable whites, especially the elderly, women, any white person they catch alone and defenseless.

This woman just doesn't get it. She's showing the true face of the DA, and her tweets are just a continuation post-elections of the DA's negative campaigning, probably with 2021 in mind. And it's bound to have the same negative results for them.

White people are said to be “land thieves” because they took other people’s land. Strange, because that is exactly what Shaka did and it is exactly what Mzilikazi did

It is the privilege to lash out against apartheid for implementing racist policies, but to then turn around and do the exact same thing and get away with it.

I sympathize with blacks within DA. Now Madam Helen shows her true colours

McRolobe I spot Sandile

helenzille I initially thought you have unconscious bias but I see that you insist on being racially insensitive. You need help. MmusiMaimane please as DA leader manage this woman!!! We are getting fed up

Unfortunately the majority of blacks will see that as an insult by the way Helen is doing good in chasing away black voters from D.A,she clearly does no longer has the party's interest at heart.

apologize .

I apologise

There is no blackpriviledge Only SelectivePriviledge4TheConnected This is why we're in a conundrum This ANCDoesNotProtectTheirOwn the way the NATS did The Majority still live in hope of a RealDawn2LightTheirPath & voted the ANC back into power after 1/4CenturyOfHarm

But it's true

She's telling the truth, you just don't like it.

Yedelela uZille shame

In the absence of justice, what is sovereignty but organized robbery? ( st Augustine )

The truth is embarrasing

Blacks are racists more then white they like to repeat history yho scefe

Stealing and looting is exactly what has been happening over the last 25 years

I don't give a dime what happened 300-1000 years ago I am concerned about the future and my leaders who are in power steals and loot with impunity and still wants to blame it on the past colonial era in the meantime our children got no future.

Blacks are corrupt low life looters who have destroyed everything in South Africa - Helen has every right to say so too. It is her right and her privilege. Why even the presidents son is corrupt

Only the privileged blacks will feel hurt by what Helen Zille says,for it's a fair comment on them. Helen's comment does not deprecate all blacks,but only those that have looted, and have just gotten an electoral New lease on life to continue looting.

It's freedom of speech

Shooo and people are surprised when I say will NEVER vote DA.Mmusi ur mentor is an Ahole

This woman has no respect for blacks . I wonder how does she treat those who are in her party(DA).

When they have nothing to offer, the likes of Helen resort to profanity.

She must withdraw saying Black privilege instead must have said Black govt officials(leaders) elites privilege because i am not privileged in any form and so are multitudes of fellow Blacks. Adv is right Hellen must withdraw. Oho apartheid traumatized he shame

Ai this Woman..until Our_DA distances themselves from not only helenzille comments (maybe her bio states 'tweets in my own capacity) but from her also. The ground work they continue to do discredits & disregards the vote & support of a simple black citizen, maybe not brown vote

here we go again Mmusi Maimanes mother in hot water.

Helen Zille doesn't have to apologize. Settler colonialists were never apologetic about their invasion and land dispossession, they come up with all forms of justifications as she always does. We need to stop begging white people for apologizing for their sins.

We've seen the tweet and retweeted it several time to emphasize the point, now sell it is this the new direction of journalism?

When, again, Twitter is the stand-in for appallingly un-newsworthy news

& then non-Whites[Africans, Africans(those so-called coloureds), Asians] wasted their time voting for these oppressors. They don't realise that they r rekindling apartheid. Where do the so-called coloured people & Asians fit in this? Are they aware that their value will diminish?

Maybe Prof Madonsela should read carefully what Ms Zille actually said, and what it was in response to?

But the situation on the ground supports Helen's argument, you don't have to take her word for it, look at our SOE's and Municipalities to mention but a few, you'll have a tough & difficult time arguing against this Ms Madonsela🙏🙏

We are slowly normalising the idea that one can go as far as disrespecting us as Africans as long as they apologise afterwards. She must Apologise for wat For showing her true racist colours?. Then we get even after the 'fake' apology? It's not her first btw. She's used to this

Yawn.
