DA federal chairperson Helen Zille has again found herself in hot water after her comments about racist laws and former president FW De Klerk.
In a series of tweets this week, Zille said De Klerk was not guilty of state looting and that he “dismantled apartheid”. When accused of being a racist for her views, Zille said “there are more racist laws today than there were under apartheid”.
