The ANC must get over themselves, they are allowed to dish out racism and defamatory words but they cannot take it when someone does it. The ANC have met their match in Ms Zille (a woman) and they cannot take it. Is Cosatu/SACP now the mouthpiece for the President? He should have reprimanded the Youth League Leader long ago for his remarks aimed at Ms Zille. ANC don't mess with the WC, don't be greedy you already have the rest of the Provinces.

reply to 55 Minutes ago Anonymous - I think one eyes only work in KZN and became blind in WC . from airport there are informal setllement from airport to Town via N2 and Madam Zille was in charge and they still live like they were pre Zille admin.

I think Hellen it is time to focus on service delivery as per assignment by your voters. Your personnal attack towards our president will not make you any better person, instead you are displaying your bitterness and your unwillingness to participate in good governance. Shame to those who still consider you as a leader. NO MATURE REASONING SOUTH AFRICAN WOULD VOTE FOR HELLEN ZILLE, not now not ever. She is showing exactly the kind of leadership she would deliver if she would be in charge of the country.

Quite frankly, all of this is childish and quite frankly to be expected of the ANCYL which (even though speaking truthfully) tends to be controversial, from the perspective of mainstream society. As for Helen Zille, her comments are vexatious, childish and embarrassing for a woman her age. Here is yet another example showing that she has no respect for the office of the President (as she so eloquently professed she would). Ms. Zille has got absolutely no grace or ubuntu and that is why we will never allow her or the likes of her to ever, ever, ever control this country ever again. Helen, you lost-deal with it like a woman and move on. If you truly cared for the people of this country as you so often profess, you would work together with us to do more. Instead you are always criticising. You seem to never have anything constructive to add.. Maybe you should sit in your quite corner and think about your bad behaviour!!!!

Zille do you really hate the President that much heh? Why are you the only one who can not shut the door and open the next one and see whats in there for you.ZIPPIT UP WOMAN AND SHOOOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LINA

I am not at all surprised by Zille's latest antics. The composition of her small WC cabinet speaks volumes about her; the reaction from questions by Cosatu just confirms my suspicions of what the DA and Zille stand for. I feel very sorry for the black people of the WC, nonetheless the struggle continues, we will have you in our prayers.

Zille has a problem with black people. I am not suprised. She will never rise if she continues doing/saying this things. She will undo her victory soon if she continues because Mr Zuma is our president and will not be happy about what she said even if we are not supporting ANC.

@Reality. In the opening paragraphs of your statement, you made very interesting and compeling arguments till you lost it and took the racial tone. Can we honestly at every turn overlook what is wrong on fear of being racist or rather our actions being misunderstood. Yes Zille needs to accept JZ's win, Yes we need to look forward to a new beginning and stop throwing arround accusations. But we are a democratic nation and have fully embraced that freedom by voting for other parties that we believe have addressed our idelogies. We should not in any way feel that we are compeled to vote for the ANC, DA or any other party if they do not address issues that are important to us.

Helen, with respect Shut the hell up. Time for personal attacks has come and gone. now it's time to focus on making south africa a better country for all.Just how much do you hate black people.

Zille needs to understand that her campaigning is over. So speaking negetively about hour president won't do good for anybody. She just needs to concentrate on her well deserved position and leave the guy alone...
