“There is no politician more scared of voters than me,” she said in response to a question. She explained that she had won the Cape Town mayorship by two votes. - Helen Zille
Zille criticised the ANC yesterday, saying it had degenerated “into a group contesting factions, fighting for control and power”, while taking voters for granted. The ruling party’s demise was “irreversible”, she said during a lunchtime address to students at the University of the Witwatersrand, her alma mater.
Zille said that until voters understood that they held power over politicians, “a party won’t think twice about putting up a candidate for president who has 783 charges of corruption against him”. This was a clear reference to ANC president Jacob Zuma, whom she also accused of seeking to avoid appearing in court.
She said this only happened in a country where a party had contempt for voters, believing they would never change their minds.
