Zille compared lockdown consequences to the Xhosa cattle-killing movement which took place in 1856 in the Eastern Cape.

The mass cattle-killing happened while the Xhosa people were at war with well-equipped British settlers.

The movement was started when a Xhosa prophetess, Nongqawuse, claimed that if people killed all their cattle, abandoned witchcraft, incest and adultery, and destroyed their corn, their ancestors would rise from the dead to drive out the settlers. In the aftermath of the killing of more than 300,000 cattle, the population of the area dropped from 105,000 to fewer than 27,000 in the resulting famine, according to Wikipedia. “It's completely unacceptable for a white person to use historical injustices visited upon Africans by white people to argue her point, especially against a black person,” wrote one Facebook user.“This woman continues to verbally abuse our black history ...

Another user said: “Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma and the collective deserve condemnation, but to use the painful example of what happened when the British were trying to kill any black who did not conform to their Christian beliefs is pathetic.” Racism & Corruption are twin evils. Helen Zille is racist. Nongqawuse & Covid19 are not comparable. She did this to portray black Africans as people with subhuman intelligence. No racist or corrupt person can silence me. I’ll always challenge White supremacy.
