BNC#5: Helen Zille Part 2 - Why ANC cut De Ruyter loose; what PA wanted in Joburg; and more
In Part 2 of her Nightcap conversation at the 5th BizNews Conference at Champagne Sports Resort, Democratic Alliance chair Helen Zille shares some Second Level thinking on various topics. Starting with why the Patriotic Alliance demanded Joburg's Economic Development portfolio (and why the DA refused), the real reason why the ANC top brass let Eskom CEO André de Ruyter get hung out to dry, and more riveting insights from this veteran of SA politics as she freewheels on a range of topics. She spoke to Alec Hogg of BizNews.
TIMESTAMPS.
00:00 Helen Zille on André De Ruyter's disclosure of suspected criminal activity at Eskom to Pravin Gordhan

07:18 Whether the DA's relationship with Herman Mashaba and Gayton McKenzie can be repaired
08:14 On economic affairs in Johannesburg
14:57 On non-racialism
20:37 On why she returned to politics

What I admire about Ma’am Zille is her continued, consistent passion and patriotism for SA! I know politics and politicians are not perfect, but she is one in a few that when speaks , you cannot help but sit back and listen. Wishing you well Ma’am!
Mrs. Zille calm and collective. Passionate about our country. Thanks for your service.
Sadly this is all reality. Helen Zille is a very smart lady and always so well informed and knows how to get facts. I am praying she will be victorious. Country is falling down more and more. We need leaders like her.❤😊😢
Helen Zille is a wise and patient women whom I greatly admire

That's how a discussion must be conducted people don't want to hear the truth and thats what she was saying. Well done Mrs Helen the truth will prevail!!
I love her!!
I hope Zille will be around for a long time. Astounding how she cuts through the chaf to get to the heart of the matter. No wonder she causes such discomfort.
Helen Zillle you are the most amazing lady I know and was marvellous listening to again, and your statement regarding non racialism and how the parties are supported. Best Wishes Helen and thanks for bringing the party back to where it is and getting better.
Helen is a true legend!
Zills facts and truth you rock malady 👍
Helen knows what she is talking about. Well done ma’am.

Love this lady, she has more backbone than most men and she is intelligent, no nonsense, does her homework..these men that had so much to say about her are much younger but don't come near her understanding of most things. I disagree with her on a couple of points but that's purely individual thoughts. Well done once again Helen for showing the way forward to these wannabees... I wish you well!

Helen Zille is restoring my faith in the DA.
You are an incredible star. Thank you so much for your contribution to SA. How you have managed to cope with all the mud that has been thrown at you is remarkable. Very few people would have put up with what you have tolerated. Good people really stick it out. You are an exception. Thank you for what you have done for the DA and coming back to advise. Please don't leave us now. The DA is the last remaining hope for this beautiful country. As the saying goes...keep doing the right thing right long enough , you get there in the end. I am proud to be associated with your party ever since my grandfather helped form the original Progressive party.
I took time and attentively listened to you, Helen. Will sit back and digest this presentation
After watching the two interviews with Helen Zille, I now understand why ASA and PA want her removed. Helen is well researched and presents a well articulated discussion based on facts. This is the type of discussions that needs to be had in SA. Voting based on party loyalty has damaged the country. We need someone with principles and values, and who would not sell SAns to the highest bidder. Helen sounds patriotic and pragmatic.

This lady just swung my vote to the DA. True intellect quite the opposite of the McKenzie gangster joker.
we owe you, South Africa, for your life's dedication to research, finding the truth, drawing the right lines, and fighting for the democracy you have fought for as you exposed the NP apartheid murderers, as you have exposed the ANC murderers that was arrested by the ones who steal today when we wished our beloved Madiba his wish to retire, you know. You are a real fighter for freedom, a leader that would have governed this beloved country with the right mandate that the people give to government, I get it, sorry Helen, just the true pragmatic me trying to reflect what history will record at some time, 20 something, I hope. Cheers.
I have previously disagreed with snippets of what Helen Zille said without listening to everything that she has said. After listening to this I wish I had listened to her more and voted the DA last election. But now with what I know, DA has my vote, will get home today and find out my local DA Office in Andeon AH, Pretoria.
I would move back to SA from Aus tomorrow if this lady was voted president. She is a living legend and will never be forgotten in SA!!!
She was brilliant did not stoke herself like the other guys. She spoke the truth and SA is in a very scary situation
Thankfully I didn't watch Gayton and his Mate mouthing off. You inspired me to breathe again. Salute.

The greatest stumbling block to the DA becoming the next ruling party, is Helen Zille. She is a divisive and abrasive person that alienates black voters.

Helen. I remember you in the Prof youth 5 decades ago. You have fought a great fight!
It looks like she is the only one who did a proper research, than the other two candidates.
If it wasn’t for Helen SA politics would be off far worse. She’s fought hard for us all to get a chance at something. She’s still fighting.
I have never been a #HelenZille fan, but after watching this interview, she has caught my attention! "look for reasons you may be wrong"
Thank you for this insightful interview ...and thank you Helen for your service to our country !! 🙏❤...you will go down in history as one of the sralwarts of our fledgling democracy! ..May God bless you and your family !! 😁

Thank you Helen, you have now rescued my vote. After listening to Gayton and not being able to sleep for many nights over his graphic description of the rape in jail, and how he pulled you down for being being unbending, I was so disillusioned about you, but now I know, you are the real deal.
