The outgoing Western Cape Premier defined black privilege as the ability to loot a country and get re-elected.

JOHANNESBURG - Former Public Protector Thuli Madonsela urged outgoing Western Cape Premier Helen Zille to apologise for a tweet about Black privilege.

On Thursday, Zille responded to a tweet of an American poet addressing White privilege by saying,"Why is she saying this stuff in English?".After being questioned about her views, Zille went on to say that Black privilege is"being able to loot a country and steal hundreds of billions and get re-elected. If ppl want permanent poverty for the masses they are going about it in the wrong way".

This is not the first time Zille has raised a few eyebrows for her views. In 2017 she caused anger after she insisted that the legacy of colonialism had positive effects as well.

We will deal with this white arrogance, one day is one day!

That's the problem with our so called elders in our country.They 'urge' racist turds to 'apologise '..some Black people in this country.Who are loved by racists minority really are taking all of us for granted.We have to live subject to racists validation

I don't think its all about apology as zille undermine black

Tsek

This is a free legal advice madam, u better take it...

May she does not want to take advice frm black s.a

Black privilege aka BBBEEE.......75% of Anglo American’s procurement must go to black companies.....What do you mean it does not exist?

The truth hurts

🤣🤣 Dlala eNCA journalism 👏🏾👏🏾

An apology is a part of recognizing a wrong, admitting fault and taking steps to fix the issue. We are tired of people doing something messed up, saying “sorry” then doing it again coz they know there’s no deep consequences. Best apology is changed behavior.

Now she want zille to apologise for being racist .

Thuli madonsela thinks helen zille is racist

🖕🏻 there's your apology

Madonsela your pettycoat is hanging out and it has holes in it.Go back and recloth your today's life in SA everyone who is healthy,have a job and income with a house to stay in are privileged irrespective of the colour of their hide.Come clean and accept.

I'd like to see Madonsela take off that colonialist wig she's wearing. She's a hypocrite.

This is getting out of hand! We are no longer having this conversation. It's being blown out of proportion by the MSM!

She’s a racist madam.

Will privileged blacks apologise Cyril? Jacob? Malema? Patrice? Kobus? Johann? Mocaelhouse old boys? ...oh I digress 🤔

How come she becomes the custodian of 'white privaledge' ?

It’s about time!

Black privilege must fall! En fok julle, ek sal nie om verskoning vra nie!

Hands-off Zille, Thuli must take a seat , she mustnt think Zille is Zuma her playground.

She just states facts

Apologize

Madonsela and Godzilla are two sides of the same coin.

No enca you need to balance your position here. Thuli needs to check herself not hellen

We all saw it mo twitter. Maybe you can go write for people ba ko facebook.

If Zille never felt the need to apologies, then she doesnt have to, at least we know where we stand with here...

why? Who will then apologize for the opposite, fact is, if you blame one, the other can blame back. If you point a finger, expect that a finger gets pointed back. Time we start looking were we are all wrong, rather than look at others to take blame.

Too much power corrupts irrespective of skin colour. People need to be held to account. The EFF did that & now the President is trying to fix all those wasted years of corruption & incompetence. Zille is trying to be controversial & achieved that even if her point is wrong.

BlackPrivilege Truth hurt? Whether 'white' or 'black' - 'privilege' is earned. It comes through home, faith, education, values, standards, trust, community, contribution, service, integrity & HARD WORK. Time to stop blaming others for what one can & should be doing for oneself.

No she must not apologize, its how she feels mos why force her? May the real Helen please stand up? blackprivilege

Thank wena madonsela

She must apologise, this fake 1 SA for All would strive, in order to seek help and be helped you have to acknowledge there is a problem. Society is racist

I think everyone should read Moletsi Mbeje’s book,”The Architects of Poverty” before entering this debate

This Thuli character needs to decide if she wants to meddle with politics or do whatever crap it is she's doing no Skelembosh

How is this news?!

UnfollowHelen UnfollowHelen UnfollowHelen UnfollowHelen UnfollowHelen

The truth hurts but it sets you free

Don't apologise, black people are fucking up the opportunities they have in this generation.

Absolutely not

Who gonna apologise for white privilege comments..?

ZILLE IS TRUTH THIS TIME

While you are at it also urge EFF and BLF to apologize for there racist comments towards whites.

What did Zille say about 'Black privilege'

It's time for you Prof to form an organization that will go head to head with such conduct, you have my full support on the bag, ThuliMadonsela3 DO IT. ne

What about the WHITE PRIVILEGE comments from blacks and whites? Whites are SICK & TIRED of hearing that rubbish! What’s good for the goose is good for the gander!

BangizweNkosi Yet ThuliMadonsela3 is totally innocent for grouping all whites into a box and calling them privileged. THAT IS TOTALLY OK hey?

Zille +DA=NP

BangizweNkosi So you Woke types have been running around for years saying 'all white people' this and 'whiteness' that but one similar tweet directed the other way causes you to melt down? Pathetic.

Time2Coach Why? Those black people named have most certainly derived privilege from the fact that they were black and capitalised on the political and legal factors favouring them. That's the definition of privilege based on race. Period.

This one became just another stupid

Helen Zille enjoys insulting Blacks because she knows we going to jump around

The truth hurts. But once you know the truth, it will set you free

Tuli is demanding for every one to drink herb tea and see the world the way she does.

One SA for all they say why is Helen still a premier of WC ho she is the boss you can’t fire your boss

GFY Madonsela!!!!!!!

Its sad because the same blacks voted for DA. True colours are revealed. Thats how blacks are perceived.

DA was ostensibly campaigning for a UNITED SA. Barely a week after elections true colours are showing

ThuliMadonsela3 MmusiMaimane Can someone please put an end to Zille's rants...her tweets are nothing but devisive and just plain rubbish. She has lost the plot totally and more than likely senile now.

Y'all wanted to talk privilege. Now have your tea!

Genuine apology Or just apologize. Mara Thuli uyaphapha honestly

helen zille se muur

Madonsela se gat

Why should she apologise? What she said is true. The difference is that privilage is just handed to black people on a silver platter, but taken from white people.

black monopoly capital is a victim , so they have the right to loot all SOE

Helen Zille will respond by asking: Who is Thuli Madonsela?🤣🤣🤣

Someone should take her phone away...

The former PP is off the mark here, emotions aside, let's look at what the facts on the ground suggest, truth hurts isn't it!!!🙏🙏🙏

She won't. Aunty helenzille is very stubborn

Uthuli makayeke ufaka la msizi umnyama emlomeni wethu

OPINIONISTA: From the Inside: The DA and the ANC took a knock — both require some soul-searchingThe journey away from racial nationalism is a tortuous and difficult one. But I hold on to the belief, encouraged by the result in the Western Cape, that it is possible. It will take longer than we hoped. But we must keep on keeping on because there is no other hope for South Africa. helenzille I agree 100%. What made me reconsider a lifetime of PFP/DP/DA support was the (new) double standard on issues relating to race and the support that gained in the upper levels of the DA. The lazy, self-serving reaction of the woke was to label me a racial nationalist. Enough. helenzille 'The face of privilege has been transformed by a predatory ANC/EFF elite that has looted the country and set us on the road to ruin.' This is worth repeating many times helenzille What a piece. Thank you, Helen. This should be compulsory reading for all. Superb accurate analysis.
