'Zille must ask other animals for votes, not us monkeys'
11 February 2016
Cape Town - Western Cape Premier and former DA leader Helen Zille should not bother asking black people to vote for her party, members of the Ses'khona People's Rights Movement said on Thursday.
"Zille must ask other animals for votes, not us, who the white people call monkeys," one Ses'khona protester said.
The group had gathered in Keizergracht Street in Cape Town on Thursday for its march against racism in the city. President Jacob Zuma would be delivering his State of the Nation Address at nearby Parliament later on Thursday.
Earlier the group's spokesperson, Sulyman Stellenboom, had referred to Zille as a "germ from Germany".
