Helen Zille in Trouble for Twitting Cartoon Depicting Black People as Rapists

Estimated reading time: 2 minute(s)

The Democratic Alliance (DA) national chair Helen Zille trending again on social media for wrong reasons again.

The former DA leader caused a stir on social media after sharing a cartoon showing what could be described as Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) member who is calling for land to be returned back to its owners and the character being questioned replied by suggesting that black man had raped a white woman.

This saw lot of social media users attacking Helen Zille some even swore at her saying she finds it hard to hide her true feelings towards African people. Accusing her of being a subliminal racist.

A question, Helen, how is this helpful? To the party you belong to? To the country? How does it take us forward as a divided nation? I am really interested in the thought process that makes you post something like this.

Is Helen now generalising and saying all black people are rapists?

Is she also denying that land was forcefully taken from a people and people were murdered for the land?

The DA and Helen Zille are very disrespectful then if these are her views.

They do not deserve any power https://t.co/ZfyJEQXKws
