How DA handles the ‘racism in HelenZille’s head’ will be closely watched HelenZilleMustFall

What Zille says represents the DA’s policy position because of where she is situated in the DA, the ANC warns.

After highlighting the severe impact of apartheid on the country’s previously marginalised groups, Moody said Zille’s tweets spoke of “ignorance and an attitude of superiority”. The DA has confirmed that Zille’s tweets were being reviewed against the rules of the party, to indicate whether she had broken any laws. The party’s decision on the matter will be eagerly awaited, while opposition parties have attempted to capitalise on the gaffes in their reactions to the tweets.
