Masina’s tweet dominated a virtual sitting of the Portfolio Committee on Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs on Wednesday. “The mayor also spoke of revenue collections. Now if you want white business to fall apart, I am afraid your revenue collection will be worse. What you should be doing is assisting as many businesses as possible regardless of whether they are owned by whites or blacks,” Hoosen told Masina.“I said in my tweet and I wrote it myself… I said, nationalise the commanding heights of the economy. If that is racist according to you , you must think again.
