Social media was abuzz after DA federal council chairperson Helen Zille posted a cartoon about land, rape and race generalizations. The cartoon depicts a black man who tells a white man to “give back the land you stole”. The white man is shown accusing the black man of raping his wife, which he denies.
Zille tweeted the cartoon “captures the fallacy and racism behind generalizations’.
This aptly captures the fallacy and racism behind race generalizations. pic.twitter.com/a4Q32WfdTN

South Africans were having none of it and slammed Zille, accusing her of racism.
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

Helen Zille is too old to hide her racism 😂

Helen, you don’t build bridges. You burn them at an alarming rate.
And your obsession with the “woke brigade” – an insult you reserve for anyone who believes that kindness matters – says more about you than the people you’re trying to insult. https://t.co/TXScoi54tW

Helen Zille says that calling all black people rapists is the same as rightfully and factually stating that white people possess stolen land. White victimhood is the absolute pits. White people wanna be oppressed so badly. https://t.co/f8KAw7Lu2i

Helen Zille spews racist crap about Africans & pretend to be shocked when people react, aim is to gaslight;
The purpose is to normalise the racist diatribe by claiming those calling it out are “fake outraged”;
She’s trying to create space for her & her kind to be racist freely☹️. https://t.co/Am2gqfWTwP— Cash (@Phasha_Caswell) December 30, 2019

2019 was filled with many highs and lows for the Kolisi family…For Rachel – wife to Springbok captain Siya – 2019 has been A LOT.
Whilst she probably has many fond memories from this year – like lifting the Web Ellis trophy alongside her hubby at the Rugby World Cup finale – we’re pretty sure there are some moments she’d happily put behind her. continue reading
