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.

Julius: “we will cut the throat of whiteness” Ramaphosa: “all whites are apartheid lovers” Mabuza: “I hate white people” NO CONSEQUENCES. Therefore BLACK PRIVILEGE. A guide for the dumb.

I urge Madonsela to apologize for her white privilege tweet.

I don't thing this has an element of racism because we've been getting news in the Zondo commission and more news has a lot of blacks names that were involved the the money laundering so blacks are corrupt and nobody has been jailed after some testified in that commission

Zille is always persecuted for telling the truth. She is just fighting for the majority. Like her or not, Zille is the greatest woman and objective history will always remember her as the Esther of our time.

Madonsela to lead the DA in the future

This is pissing me off.she hasn’t apologies and by the look of things she’s not . Black South African let’s wake up plz.there’s a party that spoke of this white privileged and that it must be dealt with... South African didn’t vote for them.... now look Zille

That’s it.... GOT showed us all how to take over and rule... Daenerys Targaryen

Abelungu will always stick together even when wrong. Pity you embrassed them too much now they are showing true colours

Even if she apologises, we now kno xacly who she is. The quietness of DA on such a matter also shows whose intrests they r saving.

Feelings protector that couldn't stop state capture.

She will never-that dame demonic spirit living in Trump has its abode inside her

Madonsely is the one that must apologise but she wont because she will hide behind her black privilege.

Nobody needs to apologise for the truth....in SA the truth sometimes is very uncomfortable....just live with it! Being politically correct is not only stupid, it is unnecessary!

That Witch from Over the Wall! Needs to be put in her place! A stray jacket and duck tape will do the trick! BlackPrivilege really now? Verwoerd come get your dog! Throw her and her lineage away

Madonsela must go drink some herbal tea and relax and reflect. She must then also ask those who call out “white privilege” to apologise!!! What’s good for the goose is good for the gander!

Apologise for branding black privilege as licence to loot: Thuli Madonsela to Helen ZilleFormer public protector Thuli Madonsela on Friday called for controversial former DA leader Helen Zille to withdraw and apologise for comments that 'black privilege' was looting and getting re-elected. Yawn. 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 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🙏🙏
