Rasool accuses Zille using her husband to salvage damp squib SOPA speech
17 February 2019
The leader of the ANC election campaign in the Western Cape, Ebrahim Rasool, has accused Premier Helen Zille of turning her husband into a victim to salvage her damp squib State of the Province Address.
At a press conference held today, Rasool said Zille’s staunch defence of colonialism has forever obliterated her claims around her association with the murdered Black Consciousness leader, Steve Biko.
He also said that the ANC welcomed Patricia de Lille’s Good Party, which launched its election manifesto at the weekend.
Rasool said: “Patricia de Lille is not a threat to the ANC. She’s a threat to the DA, whatever she does subtracts from the DA for us. That is good news. She’s a significant player in the Western Cape but she’s not a threat to the ANC.”
