Juju was right about the madam

- Helen Zille

WE all condemned young Juju for claiming that the hugely talented Lindiwe Mazibuko was being used as a “tea girl” by DA leader Helen Zille. We had no idea just how little Madam Zille really thought of Mazibuko and her skills as the official opposition’s parliament­ary leader.

But now that Mazibuko has chosen to go and study at Harvard, rather than being reduced to a backbenche­r for refusing to toe the Zille line, our Mampara accuses Mazibuko of incompeten­ce.

The Mampara even had the gall to boast to the DA federal council that she had “made” Mazibuko, who would be nothing without the party leader.

It is time this Mampara realised that the era of “discoverin­g good natives” who never question your instructio­ns is long gone.
