Ek hoop helenzille stuur hulle reguit moer toe!! Sy moet Aunty Pat join by GOOD because the DA is good vir fokkol.

Fok Mmusi

Thanks God i didn't vote for DA

The truth hurts sometime

It seems Musi reacts to everything that is said on twitter about Zille by ppl who are not even DA members or supporters..he's going to lose many of his members if he wants to please everyone..pity SA is becoming more & more a polarised society & need visionary leaders

Bullshit. Helen CONTROLS the federal executive, as well as Mmusi. She has absolute impunity.

Maimane is just making cheap talk: Helen Zille have more powers than Maimane & federal executive will do nothing against her!!!!! Patricia De like was appointed & Helen Zille is the one only powerful woman member in the executive!!!!!

Media/Blacks: White Privilege! White Privilege! White Privilege! White Privilege! HZ: Media/Blacks: You cant say that Shut Up! and you try tell us BlackPrivilege does not exist Our_DA ?

Gogo has all the time in her hands to do all her silly things

'God forgive them for they know not what they're doing!'

Lol

Our_DA I promise you you will lose my vote if you carry on with this. helenzille had the guts to bring truth out in the open!

If only she was black it wouldve all been okay neh🙂 but she is white so she is racist and everything she says is wrong. 🙄 HELEN DID MORE FR THIS COUNTRY THN MOST PEOPLE SO 🖕 EVERYONE WHO HATES HER JST BECAUSE SHE IS WHITE YALL ARE THE RACISTS. just watch hw the racists reply

Nothing will ever happen to her

Helen is to DA what Julius is to the EFF, She’s the Commander In Chief...

That is ridiculous, I am loving seeing and reading helenzille tweets and giving people a dose of their own medicine.

Too late to take action to an unapologetic defender of white privilege

Tackle her, what does that even mean?🙄

Shem. I wish them luck. She will wipe the floor with them.😂

PETER BRUCE: Mmusi, who's he?If Maimane and the rest of the DA leadership are still in place come the next election, and they adopt the same approach, they will get another hiding Puppet They forgot him already. One time he was called little Mandela, later he became little Obama. DA will surprise you It must be difficult for him to have to try keeping one step ahead of Helen Zilles arguments on Twitter. At least he can say he's not being led by her or anyone else for that matter.

NEWS ANALYSIS: There’s room for DA as SA still needs emboldened oppositionRamaphosa is no easy target but Mmusi Maimane, if he stays, still has a role to play in parliament Only if they address the big elephant in the room, i.e. the issue of land reform and redistribution SA is not a Federal State those who want this kind of State must know we are not ready to be Americans while we are African. Only if this one stop this American political system TIA

2019 ELECTIONS AFTERMATH: DA infighting: Maimane contradicts party chair’s comments on limp election performanceA federal council, the DA’s top decision and policy structure between congresses, is being brought forward from its initial July date to make key decisions after the DA’s election let-down — and to stop party unity from fraying. The party leadership doesn’t appear to be on the same page. While DA leader Mmusi Maimane wrote to members that he accepted personal responsibility for the poll results, DA federal chairperson Athol Trollip publicly talked about collective responsibility. At stake is the DA’s character, and decisions will not be uncontested. marianne_merten DA is in the same state like ANC! SchoemanThinus marianne_merten Zille must gooeeeeeeee SchoemanThinus marianne_merten

ELECTIONS BRIEFS: Why the much vaunted DA shot blanksTwo days before last week's election it seemed like the DA might just manage to pull this one out of the fire. But as the numbers started to roll in it soon became clear that Mmusi Maimane's party, the official opposition, was going to have a 'mare. PieterDuToit I blame Maimane and warned him that he is chasing voters away going public with his racial preliminary opinions like the Willemse tv debacle clearly showing his inexperience as a politician. Did the same thing in other instances! Pissed voters off completely!!! MmusiMaimane PieterDuToit Decisive and populist politicking changed the landscape slightly and far left and right parties gained % strongly however they are still collectively a minority- the majority voted ANC and DA - the fact that people continue to support the ANC indicates support for the status quo PieterDuToit He made several other non related other political blunders spilling his guts without getting all facts first before making rookie political mistakes.
