Delusional DA cowing behind freedom of speech
14 June 2018
The ANC Western Cape again welcomes the South African Public Protector’s finding against premier Helen Zille’s tweets glorifying the ‘legacy of colonialism’ and says she has long passed her sell-by-date. She must go now before she is further humiliated.
The defiant Zille’s own legacy in the Western Cape is in ruins because of her continued defending the indefensible tweets and other pronouncements that brought the province and country into disrepute.
Despite her repeated apologies for her tweets on the so-called positive effects of the legacy of colonialism, she continues to defend her admission that it hurts people.
ANC leader of the opposition in the provincial legislature Khaya Magaxa says: “She clearly has no remorse. She tries to detract attention from the finding against her by cowing behind freedom of speech – which freedom is not absolute. In fact Zille keeps on digging deeper the pit she made for herself.
