Notwithstanding how great this channel is and the amount of effort it took to secure an hour with Zille, I do feel the interview was mostly biographical. In contrast with other interviews, I would have loved her in-depth perspective on GNU, the MK Party, the future of EFF given it's leadership changes and mostly her take on the Phala Phala scandal (though I admit that would have been BOLD). Commendable work Dr Sizwe.

[@JeshuaOurGod]

No thanks, we don't need to hear about a racist criminal's life story😤🥱💩

[@SA4Peace2]

There was such a high sense of superiority in this interview. Sizwe asked a lot of soft questions and didn't compare apples with apples especially when Helen Zille's attitude of "Get over Apartheid" permeated thruout the interview. He should have asked her if she condemned Apartheid and if she regarded it as a crime of humanity. Did she have access to land when she was a journalist? Did she recognise that Apartheid gave her white status and priveledge? How did she feel about the pass laws? What are her thoughts about segregation and the impact it has created on our society? How does she feel about the class divide and how it is skewed to favour white people? What needs to be done to adjust and correct the imbalances of the past? We can't just get over it without looking at the impact that Apartheid brought to our society. Exposure levels where very skewed to favour the minority, there was no human empathy towards this.

Those same ‘fat cats’ were at the coal face of apartheid regime’s brutality. Denied all the perks (fantastic housing, free education, great job opportunities etc) that your madam Zille benefited from.

Congratulations Hlubi. One of the gem of this session is when you got Ms Zille to star gaze and tell us about the clash of the two visions in South Africa - in 2026 local elections and 2029 national elections. One vision - of democratic centralism of MKP and the EFF. Another vision, of an open society by the DA. Ms Zille says where the needle of political power falls shall depend on where factional pieces of a fructuring ANC shall fall along the spectrum of the two ideological polar positions. Ms Zille says the ANC doesn't know where it stands between these two great warring ideological forces. These forces are locked in an epic battle to amass to their respective sides the largest fractures of the ANC. The DA wants to preserve the GNU because it wants to govern South Africa with the neoliberal faction of the ANC - whose spiritual head is Ms Zille. MKP/EFF forces, on the other hand, lay claim to the national democratic revolutionary fructures of ANC by right of the struggle against class, race and gender oppression, exploitation and separation - the ANC yiNdlu ka Gogo (it's our Grandma's House) to which all of us belong, says former President Zuma.
