Outgoing Western Cape Premier Helen Zille has refused to back down from controversial comments she made on race and privilege on Friday.

called on Zille to apologise, saying,"dear Helen Zille, white privilege is universal and comes with the premium the world places on whiteness plus accumulated historical advantages."

"To equate it with black privilege is myopic. To brand blacks as looters and political pretenders is wrong. Please withdraw and apologize." Zille continued undeterred and responded,"dear Thuli Madonsela, the era to which you refer has ended.""Today"whiteness" is a swear-word used to stigmatise and marginalise. I thought our struggle was to judge each individual on their merits irrespective of race."She responded to criticism of her statements by saying others misuse the term white privilege and she would not be"doing double standards anymore".Zille said,"Just ask yourself.

"My point was to show what an outrageous blunt instrument, terms like"white privilege" and"black privilege" and other racial generalisations are."

Good for her

Stealing has been so many reasons SA economy is where it's today but no it's rather all a blame game now, as long it's last SA will eventually slide

Zille must stand strong! Never give in to the BlackPrivilege propaganda machine.

YOU stick to your guns mrs zille, speak the truth and shame the devil,

The mask has fallen

After blacks have voted for her racist party, she vomit such nonsense. How can powerty be a privilege? Her racist utterances makes me sick

Mrs zille is very racist i think this thing of hers must come to an end it's not the 1st time this lady is continuing being racist she must condemned by all ppl of good will south africa will never move forward with ppl like zille she is the same as Donald Trump

n she thinks she can win over de likes of me to be associated with her political organization amidst her continuous racist provoking tweets/tendencies🙄

Can we all stop validating Ogogo HellenZiller on such platforms . In that way there won’t be a come back for her .

👏 to Zille... done Entertaining this fool.. should I continue we gonna look the same ... what she’s saying is her opinion not a fact ... so 🤷‍♀️

Good. The truth hurts. Many believe and choose the lie - out of blind loyalty and bigotry and ignorance mostly. But it is the love of the truth that sets free. Tell it Ms Zille. And let's have the debate.

Did HZ loosen the handbrake on political correctness? I guess we're going to have some fun here. Until some snowflake convince Twitter to ban her.

And DA will do nothing about it especially her tweets to Phillip Dexter

If you refuse to apologise in tyme , you'll regret it . We young black people of South Africa, we are fearless of whites . Be warned

Hellen zille is a forgotten zombie who must keep quiet...one word out of her mouth its a loss to the DA votes..

Political dinosaur. You are reason why DA will not advance and attract new voters.

Defiant yamasimba!! She’s a racist magogo

And the media has gone crazy about this. Leave helenzille to her own devices.

You get shot when you voice your opinion these days. Wrong or right we should be debating ideas and having conversations and dialog.

When zille speaks, clowns get upset. Julius and every other person speaks rubbish , they will be taken as kids. Stand firm zille, you re say the truth..

Why can't you go on pension in peace? Mxm

Bigotry highway

Her tweet was taken out of context... look at the hole story and you will understand. .⚠

If bendingu MmusiMaimane bebezawvuka resignation letter yam ibalinde emnyango OoGogo helenzille

Neither politics nor justice will ever change attitude of those who benefited so much from capitalism, colonialism and imperialism, even black consciousness never managed to to bring about attitudes change,remember why Steve Biko form Saso!

Just wanna stay relevant 🤦🏾‍♂️

Whaaat?Defiance? Sour grapes! She was actually hoping to be pulling the strings from behind! A Puppeteer! Fooosh! Angry,Bitter and tormented! Ag Shem! Poor Makhulu! 😅😂🤣

And rightly so. Context folks. Context matters as do the actual facts.

She is quite right. The only way the majority of black people seem to improve themselves is to steal which the ANC govt encourages.

I wish Musi Maimane could comment

Zille gives zero fcuks. She out killing everybody in sight.

helenzille please dont ever say land or death or that you not calling on the killing of whites atleast for now they will crusify u for that also coming from you but its okay if it comes from others okay? Please dont say things that only others can say

We are still a divided country based on race, we will remain like this for many centuries to come if we survive that long ....there are lot of people who share her views and this will only divide us further.

Msoon ka HelenZille
