The Democratic Alliance leadership seems to be passing the hot potato that is Western Cape Premier Helen Zille.
According to Zille’s tweet, ‘black privilege’ is “being able to loot a country and steal hundreds of billions and get re-elected…” But it was an unrelated Twitter exchange between actor Hlomla Dandala and other twitter users to which Zille responded, which courted Twitter users’ wrath. Unbidden, Zille responded to a tweet by Dandala with a claim of the existence of black privilege.After a trip to Singapore in 2017, Zille took to Twitter to express how colonialism had helped the southeast Asian nation prosper, detailing how the legacy of colonialism on South Africa had been positive.
Her party, the Democratic Alliance, attempted to discipline her but that process was eventually abandoned after Zille agreed to apologise for the tweets and not participate in party activities.
Please publish that direct statement from helenzille
The MYANC fought the election along racial lines, so they chose to label themselves as a black party. They have in the past 25 years seen it as their privilege to loot, plunder ad destroy. So I think the description is quite apt BlackPriviledge
Why must they act on facts? Lol
DA must steer clear of this, the Magogo with her wild verbal diarrhea is going on pension. She has destroyed whatever is left of her legacy.
This just does more damage to the media's reputation than anything else. Dreadful journalism - If you can call it that.
..Hell N Zilch
Hell 'N who?
Even though it hurts, don't fight the truth. Rather embrace it. For the truth will set us free. That is what we need in SA going forward. We need true freedom.
Why is this woman still speaking?
When even journalists cannot get concept and understand big picture thinking, then I despair. This issue is not about race, it’s about societal generalizations and the hypocrisy of a leftart movement,who are quick to attach labels and create a narrative but can’t accept pushback
That is a fact!
sapolnews Kganthe ke maaka ?
thembenii23 Tsek. Nonke nje.
Helen no longer holds political office for any party, so why must the DA respond ?
crimemind3
She hit the nail on the head. Truth being exposed always creates a backlash like this. Well said Helen!
That is correct. Run along and do some actual reporting now...
Go Ma’am Zille!!! helenzille
Constantly shitting on a race that was oppressed and marginalized by your kind for years, while you and the majority of your kind still enjoy the benefits of that period ( though you are in denial of this glaring reality), what do you call it then?
The absolute state of journalism. You should be embarrassed. This is not news. And every outraged person here has just taken the bait.

....i feel sorry for the blacks who voted for DA...yhoooo
It's not black privilege, but ANC privilege. Corruption doesn't have a color.
Yes, she's absolutely correct.
B. E. E for born free white children
Indtead if swearing and throwing tantrums we could just prove Helen wrong...like everyone else she has her view.
Mount Helen has erupted.
It’s true though
Sport on Zille
crimemind3 There will be those who react negatively to the concept of 'black privilege', but what do we call it then? . cc helenzille . . .

If I was MmusiMaimane I'll put this BlackPrivilege to good use in 6th parliament! We have 12 calendar months in a year right? Each month will be dedicatedto a language spoken in SA...all his MPs must address parliament in that language. Then I'll agree with helenzille on that
True black privileged are able to access state resources Enable their children family members & friends to access state resources & true their connection lucrative business deals Access to bursaries to pilot courses Ambassadorships & many privileges..the poor still vote for them
..very true unfortunately truth hurts in SA..she must expect insults from small brains
Thats very true Zille
Yaah nehblackprivilege cse black ppl continued voted for her party nizobhadla
One hundred percent correct!!!
Yeah its bcoz u had more then 100yrs headstart while its was white privilege
She's right, but then right is more often than not the unpopular reality.

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🙏🙏

The sad part is the term should not be seen as an insult to “whites” ever; rather a sobering thought that historical value systems made “whites” not have to worry or fight for many life functions - it’s just a fact that we were enabled with advantage that others didn’t have The DA must take full responsibilty because it is their premier, data and most senior member. Their silence is very loud This is zille in her true form, you can't expect a racist to apologize for its racism.
