The DA’s Helen Zille unpacked SA’s presidents, Steve Biko, journalism, and her 2017 tweet on ‘Podcast and Chill with MacG.’
During her appearance on Podcast and Chill with MacG this week, DA Federal Council Chair Helen Zille addressed what she described as “manufactured truths” around her “colonialism” tweet.
Among other interesting topics, such as uncovering the story of Steve Biko’s death as a journalist, she also shared her views on the country’s various presidents since 1994.
Podcast host Macgyver Mukwevho, aka MagG, started his deep-dive interview on a jovial note with a quip about his recent snorkelling experience in Mauritius.
MacG then went on to bring up “Godzille’s” controversial tweet in 2017 that not everything about colonialism was negative. According to him, her tweet was understood to imply that “life was better under apartheid”.
An indignant Zille clapped back, promising the podcast host “a million rand” if he could prove that she actually tweeted those exact words.
