Shade has no off days, Helen Zille shades Mmusi Maimane on his 40th birthday
It’s no secret that Mmusi Maimane and Helen Zille are not the best of friends, especially since his exit the two have not seen eye to eye.
Mmusi on Saturday, June 6 celebrated his 40th birthday and whilst many on social media took time to wish the former politician a happy birthday on the Twitter and other social media platforms.
Well, it seems that not everyone was in the mood to wish Mmusi a happy 40th and instead he had shade thrown his way.
Mmusi has been lobbying strongly for schools not to reopen on June 8 and only when they are completely safe he has even taken his fight to the courts but has been unsuccessful in his plight.

DA Federal Chairperson Helen Zille decided to take aim at her party’s former leader’s attempt at keeping schools closed and shuu Mmusi definitely felt the shade.

“People who wait for your birthday to cast shade or to say negative things,” tweeted Mmusi

Helen’s shade was picked up by several people on the timeline, with many letting Helen know that she was wrong for her post and ever since Mmusi left the party he has gained a lot of fans.
You know why @helenzille is bitter. It’s because @MmusiMaimane is thriving without her.
There are people who hate to see someone shine outside their control. She is also worried because Mmusi is about to overtake her in followers.
