Hellen Zille at a Workers' Day celebration on the Midvaal near Meyerton, South Africa on May 1, 2012.
Former public protector Professor Thuli Madonsela waded into a Twitter debate after outgoing Western Cape premier Helen Zille offended many on Twitter by tweeting about “On Thursday morning, Zille responded to a tweet from actor Hlomla Dandala in which he told someone tweeting in support of Zille he didn’t “understand white privilege” by turning the phrase on its head, telling him that he didn’t “understand black privilege”.
Madonsela was not the only high profile South African to weigh in on Zille’s words. Investigative journalist Pauli van Wyk urged Zille to reread what she wrote and called it “a terrible tweet”. Investigative journalist Sam Sole also weighed in. “Helen lost it quite some time ago. The real problem with the DA is they don’t have the courage of their conviction. No guts to take on Helen. No guts to take on Patricia. No guts to take on Julius [and] the dirty coalition deals in [Johannesburg and] Tshwane. All were/are out of line,” he tweeted.
Just wondering what are those blacks who voted for the DA saying now

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.
