Phillip Dexter sends lawyer's letter to Helen Zille over 'callous, cruel personal attack' | JennaEtheridge
Politician Phillip Dexter has issued a lawyer's letter to former Western Cape premier Helen Zille over what he calls a"callous and cruel" personal dig about his ex-wife and child.
The spat between the two originated from her controversial"black privilege" tweet over the weekend, which has since beenDexter engaged with her tweets by saying:"Nonsense. A generalization about white privilege is not necessarily wrong because white privilege is real. But there is no such thing as black privilege. Telling people to 'wake up' because they dare to disagree with you is treating them with contempt. Just be honest about it.
Asked about the tweet, she told News24 that her point was simply:"If you live in a glass house, don't throw stones." "To our knowledge, our client is up to date with his financial obligation towards the maintenance of his abducted minor daughter as agreed to in the settlement agreement," Dexter stated through his lawyer."Our client places on record that your public broadcasting of these personal issues in the midst of a political debate is a callous and cruel act calculated to cause harm to his reputation and good name.
