OPINIONISTA: An apartheid society has been recreated in Helen Zille’s Western Cape By Ebrahim Rasool AmbassadoRasool
Zille speaks of the undeniable progress of the DA administration, but the only undeniable aspect of the last 10 years of her administration’s progress is that the lives of African and Coloured citizens of the Western Cape have got worse.
In the Western Cape, the DA-led provincial administration has failed basic responsibilities entrusted to them to provide adequately and also better the lives of all the citizens of the Western Cape. Khayelitsha, Hanover Park, Langa, Bishop Lavis, Lavender Hill, Mitchells Plain and Bo-Kaap – areas where Black and Coloured citizens live – are without services or have dilapidating infrastructure. An example of this is the staircase of a council house in Manenberg that fell down this past weekend.
Helen Zille has been talking about her capable administration and her competent appointments since the day she took the Premier’s office and also during her last State Of the Province Address. She spoke about the efficiency of her administration and her appointments. Yet, when one takes a deep-dive into her administration, one will see she has been guilty of equating the word “capable” as a synonym for “white” and “male”.
Within the ANC, while the process to self-correct might be slow, as an organisation we do proceed back to our objectives. Within the DA, the imperial Helen Zille was given the space to say and do as she pleased with impunity. She was allowed to live out her days as Premier and the DA protected her even though there was an intense public outcry over her disgusting comments.
