ANC dismayed by Zille's attitude
The Western Cape ANC has today in the provincial legislature asked the DA leader Helen Zille to come clean on her real feelings and views on blacks.
ANC MPL (Mr.) Patrick McKenzie has probed Zille in question time as the DA is seen as taking the province backwards: Back to apartheid times.
McKenzie cited Zille's statement in the Western Cape provincial legislature when she said about some women in the national assembly that they "...take up space there, earn a salary, eat a big lunch, pack in some ‘padkos' and drive off in a C-class Mercedes-Benz without having made any contribution..." (Hanzard, Wednesday, 20 October 1999, Page 597.)
McKenzie also referred to other examples of references by Zille like the "refugees" statement and using the term "professional black".
McKenzie says the Western Cape is fast becoming a province of racial hate.
