She's not talking lies which we hear daily from our stupid Black leaders who don't even know the meaning and characteristics of MONOPOLY, tho they are in a daily rattling business of saying good leaders like Zille are promoting monopoly capital.
Wow! It's so amazing and refreshing to see an interviewer that isn't trying to bait her, catch her out and take her words out of context to push their own narrative/view. Completely objective and unbiased interview. Well done David!
This woman and her cronies is no different from ANC. They just get much better audits than the ANC. But they have in no way whatsoever challenge the status quo.
most who vote for who they usually vote will continue to vote for who they usually vote. I don't. But there is a say "if you always do what you've always done, you will always get what you've always got"
anc is a good example 🤣 policies are good, they say the right things when they want votes, but when it comes to actually doing the work, it does not match up
she has done nothing in the cape for black people, she says 7 million tax payers but still wants to bring zimbabwean foreigners and legalise them,done nothing about the crime in capetown,she is liar,she knows what to say, people who are wise dont get excited just by what she says you must look at how the DA is doing already in Western cape
Not a fan or supporter of her and the DA, but hate it or love it in reality she is top 5 most influential female politicians in the country in the past 10 years at least. There are only a hand full of female politicians who actively play a big role in government. That female league of the ANC are nowhere near or to be seen.
@@markwinter7511. Not just female. This is irrevelant male or female, she have standard of formulations of her ideas/concepts-part of training as jurnalist which helps, but also have thinking mind of her own. To have such mind you needs to work on it. Not so many peoples do. Especially today when you just peddle slogans...🤔
But what when government took away my qualifications, thanks thorough introduction of new body for recognition which is incompetent at the top of this. Please call me HZ. My letters are not answered to others who supposed to react...😴
How refreshing to hear a politician who is totally unambiguous about where she stands. No frills, no fuss just unvarnished truth. That's enough to damn you in the eyes of many political parties in SA. Pity we can't clone her. Imagine a parliament full of such clear thinking people. Excellent interview.
Zille was an anti-apartheid activist, arrested and all that and the DA, back then were very much anti-apartheid, alot of what the international masses knew about apartheid and thanks to the likes of Zille and the DA back then. Says on the ANCs own website the Nats, who rebranded as the NNP, joined the ANC. Mbeki himself welcomed them with open arms calling it a historical day. Its frightening how oblivious the avg voter around the world, not just in South Africa, is of reality. USA is the scariest, the blacks voting and worshipping their very oppressor, the current president was even instrumental in oppressive laws against blacks being passed in the 60s and 70s. Absolutely tragic how powerful propaganda machines are in todays age, one would hope/think, with the internet people would know more truth, not less.

There are plenty organisations and individuals who did the heavy lifting to get the information out on Apartheid and lobbied for tougher actions on the apartheid regime.
YES! You were definitely lied to by the media. The same media that continues to lie about many other things. (Including about Israel by the way - just listen to Douglas Murray or Yusuf Haddad for example) the truth sets us all free.

Respect to you both king David and Helen. Worthy citizens of this country indeed. Helen has been misaligned by many because of the colour of her skin. Wake up my brothers and sisters, let’s put race aside and vote for sensible , honest people who really care for all people on our country

One thing I learned over the years is listening to everyone including those you dont agree with to hear their side and also what they stand for. Most of what Helen said is what SA need to move forward. Thanks Kimg David for asking those questions in our behalf.
If you listen to people and give them a chance to tell you their side of the story, its amazing how many of your preconceptions get wiped out in 2hrs😂😂
U know it's better when u look at the actions of a person rather than what they say on the interview cause they are actually trained to charm the viewers The fact that the DA called indians heroes when they killed black people tells u everything
So refreshing to listen to an intelligent ,well informed political leader who absolutely talks sense -we desperately need more Helen Zilles in the government of S.A.
Thanks, King David for this interview, you know reading news paper alone and not getting to hear people speak for themselves can make you not like them for no reason!
I remember in Langa Cape town when I came home in Joe Slovo settlement everything I had was guttered by fire and there was no ANC leader who came there and this lady ask why the people were not put in those flats next to the boxing hall . The ANC people spread lies about her that she said everyone from Eastern Cape will be sent back free to Eastern Cape and will pay R1000 to come back to Cape town which people believed knowing not that was a propaganda from ANC leaders. How much is a litter of petrol and paraffin today , in whose government. Who is an oppressors today , ANC .
Oh what a brilliant interview!!! Two hours of the most enjoyable and interesting viewing in a.long time. So glad I've found your platform David. Thank you Helen Zille for the hope you and the DA bring us. Only DA can make the massive changes needed to save our beautiful, beloved country!! ♥️♥️💙💙🇿🇦🇿🇦🙏🙏
I'm not a big fan but she has touched on some very important issues and provided Her take on what the solutions are. Agree or disagree, we need people like Her to keep lazy politicians on their toes...
If you would listen to all political leaders you swear that they are all good people with good intentions. I have listened to Malema,Zuma,Mbeki,apologise even Gayton
@@siyabongamatroos5470 Listening is good. The only way we can hold people accountable for their own lies is by listening.. What we dont do is hold people accountable for their own words because that requires work. We complain and go back to living our lives.. Your words must match your actions. Which disqualifies 95% of these politicians..
As much as I agree on u but I sense a very strong white superiority in her responses. In her party they defend the colour of their own skin, very harsh in black ppl. She's talking sense in some of herpoints but stil we are not safe under a white party like DA. They are good at governing municipalities, and they should stop right there. We don't need a chaos at the national goverment level. There are other parties who have better policies than DA who can take the whole country forwar. What will keep DA away from winning black voters is their biased stance on racial quotas. ANC is out of the equation, no two ways abt that.
Happy Birthday Helen despite what some people say about you I've always said this lady knows about administration good govenance and has a vast experience in politics can't wait to see when the DA wins the Cape Province in the upcoming election thank you for all the many hours you put in for our beutifull Cape Town we will unite to rid our selves of the rot of the ANC and EFF

And that's what you call skilled ,politicians and not unskilled caders ,that destroyed our beautiful country. 😪Makes me cry ,to see how our country is going down ,and still the blind supporters of the anc and eff are not willing to vote to rescue our country and put politicians in place that got the skills experience and integrity and honesty to lift SA out of where the anc has dumb it.
You are pro white I don't blame you if you are black however it is sad that you are still enslaved, to believe that the one that lynched you will love you enough to fight for you
Having watched Mac G's Podcast with John Steenhuisen on CZcams, and the inspirational Arte tv Documentary about Mayor Chris Pappas ( 32) of uMngeni Municipality and his Deputy Mayor, Sandile Mnikathi (28) also on CZcams, the DA is by far the most progressive, the most compassionate and the most experienced choice to take SA and the Multi Party Charter forward in 2024!!
A true person of principle and sound value, I am a proud DA supporter, not because I'm white but because I believe in what my eyes show me. Ideologies will not save SA, we need good governance with business skills. DA does deliver this. We need to vote for what counts, electricity, water, health, safety and most importantly education. If ANC had done this over the past 30 years I would have voted for them, but they have not, so I won't. Go DA go! 💙❎💙
What we needed, was as you indeed said, what we need now is nothing short of a miracle. Given just the state of the economy, infrastructure, employment, healthcare, education, international relations, GDP, investor capital, cost of survival (not living), which is just some of the key metric that face an existential crisis leading to an existential crisis even if the ANC is out, will take at the very least a decade to see any future.
Please...y'all have short memory syndrome. So what does God and the devil have in common about You...TRUTH. Only difference is one is for and the other is against YOU
Great interview. Thank you for your brilliant questions and for allowing Helen to speak. Thank you for not carrying an agenda. Very professionally conducted. I am impressed
Politics aside.... Gog Helen Zille is very influential and intelligent lady this country has, she is the power house. Love her reasoning skills. I personally enjoyed this interview... Bravo Ntate Mashabela

Brilliant and balanced, thats why i support and admire Helen Zille for her vision tenacity and no nonsesce approach to the challenges we face in this our beloved country. Lets not cry, lets vote DA and save SA.
How refreshing! Both were kind and respectful of each other while making good points for opposite positions. I do not agree with everything but it was so good to see such a high standard of communication.
Her childhood upbringing was a pleasant surprise to me. Her path from teenager to journalist to politics were a learning school, molding her to see clearly right from wrong
This channel is a blessing to people who seek knowledge.The perception I used to have about HZ before watching this interview was totally negative about her but after this interview my old perception was flushed away. As KZN born and who resides in the Ngonyama land I can with that most our beautiful land is under utilised because of that you can see people leaving KZN for Gauteng including myself no one prepared to do something that will bring jobs opportunities to the people residing there. I always ask myself why they don't lease part of the land to private investors so that they can create employment for the people of the province.
Having watched the inspirational Arte tv Documentary about Mayor Chris Pappas (32) and his Deputy, Sandile Mnikathi ( 28) of uMngeni Municipality in KZN, where poor people now have solar powered street lights for safer communities and solar panels and inverters to assist them with load shedding and where local businesses are nurtured to prosper and grow and to employ more people, the DA is by far the most progressive, the most compassionate and the most experienced choice to take SA and the Multi Party Charter forward in 2024!!
These kind of conversations are what every individual genuinely interested in the future of South Africa should be tuned into and thinking through every word that these politicians are feeding the nation. Mam’ Helen Zille articulated her points clearly. Most of what she spoke about makes a lot of sense. She is also very correct about the immigration issue, this populist idea that you can wake up and just round people up does not work in a democracy.There are laws and statutes to be followed once someone enters your country. Introducing strict anti corruption laws and regaining control of the law with severe consequences to those that break it, will naturally get rid of those who are in the country to conduct illicit businesses.
I am not a proponent of an MPC, even in 2020 I thought they might consider this, but it remains politics Pieter, and who (in the event this would actually work) would preside in office? I present this quandary... it is both impossible and inevitable that the ANC will remain the ruling party. At any rate, sure those who vote and want the generation after the latest to have a future for the sake of their kids should vote. If the opposition wins, it will still take a decade since the issues we face is existential. Rescue is what they say, salvage is... look the total registered taxpayers is about 7%, those registered for receiving grants 20% (ballpark) the amount of people losing their business/employment right now... I am not negative nor positive, I am a realist
Helen is one politician that is patriotic about South Africa and its future however politics of color or race which from a young age we have been brought up under clouds our objectivity and judgement when it comes to endorsing the DA
True but the DA is also not helping itself. Their stance on international affairs, their allies, their financial backers, what they say about the land issue is why majority of the population doesn't want them. So it is what it is
@@Southy_SAn_ It was Helen Zille who uncovered the truth behind the death of Steve Biko while he was being held in detention by the Apartheid Government!!
Well done Helen, for your clear concise and accurate response to the questions . I hope he and everyone who watched David’s interview may now understand the huge task ahead for SA. Thank you.
We need a strong DA in SA as an anchor against turbulent times ahead! Only the DA is large enough, honest enough and capable and experienced enough to fix our broken country and make it work again for all South Africans!! Do not underestimate the precarious situation that our country is in!!
Firstly interviewer did a great job and I have to admit Helen Zille is absolutely spot on. I judged her from sensationalist headlines and never heard her speak in long format. I was impressed. We need just need practical policy to lay the foundation to grow the economy and RULE of LAW and things will flow from there. Idealist politics will tank this country. Take care and be practical please, vote with head not heart.
@@tshifhiwamusingadi6785I also like her conviction, that is how one should lead by conviction not by trying to please everyone and being spineless and useless 😅
Did she just get the experience or did she start from 0 to 1 also? You expect a young Floyd to have 30 years experience when he is only in 40s. Is this the type of brain u use to think everyday about everything?
Might just be the most racist replies to a comment I have seen this year. Devaluing someone as a human being for their opinions to the extent of calling her "not worth her skin colour" I bet you guys would beat someone for disagreeing with you. Shame
Hellen Zille is Well versed in actual facts and solutions.And she has a proven track record of success in tbe Western Cape.🙏💝🙏💪💪💪As for land reform? CR owns 30 farms.Julius Malema owns at least 6 farms and numerous homes one of which has 30 bedrooms
Why did it take me so long to come across this informative program??? Mr Mashabela, you are best and I like how you ask questions and engage Super informative
@@Southy_SAn_I was about to ask you to tell us why..then I realized that I just replied to your other post that was racist towards a young lady. I guess repeating myself won't help
@@Southy_SAn_ He is wise, not weak! He can see a better future for our country!! Our beautiful country is in real trouble, with our infrastructure collapsing before our very eyes!
I agree with your number 1 But maybe your number 2 needs a little bit more Nuance, I think Identity politics will and forever be a part of any conversation about representation...even Helen is on the fence about calling the middle eastern conflict Genocide, she then naturally accepts what happened to her family in Germany Genocide, and that's only fair because that's how she and generations before her have felt...race in South Africa is same, as long as everyone accepts their identity, they will seek representation that resonates with alleviating the inherent challenges
Most people are either apathetic or vote ANC because they fear the white boogeyman still. It's infuriating. They keep lowering the standard of education precisely because of this. Keep them dumb so they keep voting for the new abuser. 😂😂
Excellent comment 👌 by you 👍 and there's only one political party that can rescue SA and secure a good future to all SA citizens if the voters will just give them a chance and stop voting for micky mouse parties that only thinks of themselves and there family.
@@luzukombuqu4976 only one party can fix SA all the others will only steal what is left in she money box , leave the citizens with a empty future. DA or nothing .
I like what madam Zille said about Drugs and teenage pregnancy these are biggest problems that will never take this country forward, it's a personal choice but people always points fingers,if you don't understand that it is a personal choice then forget about getting any help
A good interview! Like all politicians, they promise heaven, but when they are faced with reality, they give excuses. I have a DA ward councillor in City of Tshwane, he has no solutions, even for simple ward issues. He 'll hide when you give him problems in the ward. Going forward we need to disabuse ourself of the notion that the politicians are there for us, and start building our communities ourselves, black and white.
No party is perfect and one ward councillor is not representative of a whole party. DA municipalities are head and shoulder above the broken ANC/EFF municipalities.
I love this, thank you. I’ve lived and own properties in both Eastern Cape metros (NMB and BCM), the difference in municipal services is night and day. Under a DA-led coalition (Athol Trollip and Retief Odendaal) the city was visibly clean. Although water consumption was highly monitored, we never reached day zero. One could see where their rates and taxes were going. I definitely can’t say the same for BCM, oh what a disaster 😢
So nice to hear a politician who talks the truth and has a clear plan to grow the country's economy and establish a sound infratructure to do so.
Very interesting conversation from Zille
Helen Zille has clarity in her convictions-whether right or wrong- she knows what she stands for. And I respect her for that.
She's not talking lies which we hear daily from our stupid Black leaders who don't even know the meaning and characteristics of MONOPOLY, tho they are in a daily rattling business of saying good leaders like Zille are promoting monopoly capital.

Like the ANC and EFF. What they do is to destroy and loot.
Our people are easily fooled.

Exactly. ANC/EFF have failed dismally in almost all municipalities. DA has very successful municipalities.

Excellent interview. Having listened to Helen throughout the entirety of this interview, I am more convinced now that the DA should govern SA.

One thing I learned over the years is listening to everyone including those you dont agree with to hear their side and also what they stand for.
Most of what Helen said is what SA need to move forward.
Thanks Kimg David for asking those questions in our behalf.
Just put your tick next to the Blue. Simple. Save SA
No that won't suffice
If you listen to people and give them a chance to tell you their side of the story, its amazing how many of your preconceptions get wiped out in 2hrs😂😂
Very well said! I agree completely!
😂😂 I'm looking at this and go like 🤦🏾
🤣
U know it's better when u look at the actions of a person rather than what they say on the interview cause they are actually trained to charm the viewers
The fact that the DA called indians heroes when they killed black people tells u everything
So refreshing to listen to an intelligent ,well informed political leader who absolutely talks sense -we desperately need more Helen Zilles in the government of S.A.
Viva DA , YOU NEED TO COLLABIRATE MORE WITH THESE SMALLER PARTIES ARTICULATING THE SAME NESSAGE !
Luv the values of DA ..
Thanks, King David for this interview, you know reading news paper alone and not getting to hear people speak for themselves can make you not like them for no reason!
Im sold on this leadership
I remember in Langa Cape town when I came home in Joe Slovo settlement everything I had was guttered by fire and there was no ANC leader who came there and this lady ask why the people were not put in those flats next to the boxing hall . The ANC people spread lies about her that she said everyone from Eastern Cape will be sent back free to Eastern Cape and will pay R1000 to come back to Cape town which people believed knowing not that was a propaganda from ANC leaders. How much is a litter of petrol and paraffin today , in whose government. Who is an oppressors today , ANC .
Oh what a brilliant interview!!! Two hours of the most enjoyable and interesting viewing in a.long time. So glad I've found your platform David. Thank you Helen Zille for the hope you and the DA bring us.
Only DA can make the massive changes needed to save our beautiful, beloved country!!
♥️♥️💙💙🇿🇦🇿🇦🙏🙏
I'm not a big fan but she has touched on some very important issues and provided Her take on what the solutions are. Agree or disagree, we need people like Her to keep lazy politicians on their toes...
If you would listen to all political leaders you swear that they are all good people with good intentions. I have listened to Malema,Zuma,Mbeki,apologise even Gayton
@@siyabongamatroos5470 Listening is good. The only way we can hold people accountable for their own lies is by listening.. What we dont do is hold people accountable for their own words because that requires work. We complain and go back to living our lives.. Your words must match your actions. Which disqualifies 95% of these politicians..
@@siyabongamatroos5470But there is evidence of they are. Corruption Scandals . Municipality where they gorven. Feasibility of their policies
As much as I agree on u but I sense a very strong white superiority in her responses. In her party they defend the colour of their own skin, very harsh in black ppl. She's talking sense in some of herpoints but stil we are not safe under a white party like DA. They are good at governing municipalities, and they should stop right there. We don't need a chaos at the national goverment level. There are other parties who have better policies than DA who can take the whole country forwar. What will keep DA away from winning black voters is their biased stance on racial quotas. ANC is out of the equation, no two ways abt that.
@@remandlo hai maaaaaan.
Helen Zille she's very intelligent block chain can stop this tendering fraudsters 👏
Happy Birthday Helen despite what some people say about you I've always said this lady knows about administration good govenance and has a vast experience in politics can't wait to see when the DA wins the Cape Province in the upcoming election thank you for all the many hours you put in for our beutifull Cape Town we will unite to rid our selves of the rot of the ANC and EFF
1st politician to tell it like it is. No sugarcoating and she made valid points. We cant vote based on the past or feelings but vote for our future.
If we stay in the past we will never see the future and most parties keep our country in the past🙌
We must vote for the future fully understanding the past
Langa and Khayelitsha townships are not in the past hle...must I trust that they can handle the whole country?
Helen is brilliant, always reminds me of Margaret Thatcher. She should be the next president of SA
That's what we call ethical leadership from Helen. Great interview indeed
she has done nothing in the cape for black people, she says 7 million tax payers but still wants to bring zimbabwean foreigners and legalise them,done nothing about the crime in capetown,she is liar,she knows what to say, people who are wise dont get excited just by what she says you must look at how the DA is doing already in Western cape
And that's what you call skilled ,politicians and not unskilled caders ,that destroyed our beautiful country. 😪Makes me cry ,to see how our country is going down ,and still the blind supporters of the anc and eff are not willing to vote to rescue our country and put politicians in place that got the skills experience and integrity and honesty to lift SA out of where the anc has dumb it.
I have great respect for HZ work ethic and enthusiasm. I saw her in action, and that inspired me to do the same: work hard and be authentic.
Did anyone else notice that Helen's cup of coffee lasted the full 2 hours?😂 As always great to see Helen in action. In my view a true patriot
They do take breaks.
It was constantly moving. I think the was nothing in the cup. Indeed great interview.
Don't mind could have taken 3hours Stupidity has no cure Listen to the conversation water or coffee please get a life
I have so much respect for this lady and her contribution to South Africa. Very few South Africans have have any idea.
The DA has my vote 💙
You are pro white I don't blame you if you are black however it is sad that you are still enslaved, to believe that the one that lynched you will love you enough to fight for you
Having watched Mac G's Podcast with John Steenhuisen on CZcams, and the inspirational Arte tv Documentary about Mayor Chris Pappas ( 32) of uMngeni Municipality and his Deputy Mayor, Sandile Mnikathi (28) also on CZcams, the DA is by far the most progressive, the most compassionate and the most experienced choice to take SA and the Multi Party Charter forward in 2024!!
Not voting DA. John is a racist
A true person of principle and sound value, I am a proud DA supporter, not because I'm white but because I believe in what my eyes show me. Ideologies will not save SA, we need good governance with business skills. DA does deliver this. We need to vote for what counts, electricity, water, health, safety and most importantly education. If ANC had done this over the past 30 years I would have voted for them, but they have not, so I won't. Go DA go! 💙❎💙
What we needed, was as you indeed said, what we need now is nothing short of a miracle. Given just the state of the economy, infrastructure, employment, healthcare, education, international relations, GDP, investor capital, cost of survival (not living), which is just some of the key metric that face an existential crisis leading to an existential crisis even if the ANC is out, will take at the very least a decade to see any future.
So they’ve been telling us lies about hellen Zille. This lady is what we need
bro I am also chocked to be fair😅
An ignorant black. Tragic
She is what we need
Please...y'all have short memory syndrome. So what does God and the devil have in common about You...TRUTH. Only difference is one is for and the other is against YOU
Ask all her black proteges....am sure they'd tell you different .
Helen looks amazing at 73 🎉🎉Wow
Smart interviewer. Proud my brother. Helen Zille will be a great President. This is absolute clarity.
u still support that we must be led by older people,for me as long as you're above 70yrs, just go and play with your grandchildren in a farm 😂😅
Yes, tested and tried wisdom beyond skincolour. I'm tired of people using my blackness against the future of my grandchildren.
@@SimonSeekoei agreed
@@SimonSeekoeiProblem will always be those behind the scenes, follow the money. Many great people were compromised by those who gave them money
Great interview. Thank you for your brilliant questions and for allowing Helen to speak. Thank you for not carrying an agenda. Very professionally conducted. I am impressed
I agree with her on commissions, it’s a total waste of our tax money. It’s the ANCs way to let people off the hook.
Politics aside.... Gog Helen Zille is very influential and intelligent lady this country has, she is the power house. Love her reasoning skills. I personally enjoyed this interview... Bravo Ntate Mashabela
Vote DA 💙

This is our Margret Thatcher. She is an amazing leader and an incredibly strong person. She exemplifies what we need to fix SA.
I can't believe I just listened to Hellen Zille for 2 hours. And everything made sense😔

Still not voting DA
@@ignatiustsotetsi3420 it is your right to ignore the truth
that ladder analogy was the best👌🏿
Brilliant and balanced, thats why i support and admire Helen Zille for her vision tenacity and no nonsesce approach to the challenges we face in this our beloved country. Lets not cry, lets vote DA and save SA.
How refreshing! Both were kind and respectful of each other while making good points for opposite positions. I do not agree with everything but it was so good to see such a high standard of communication.
It is lovely to see a mutually respectful interview 😊
Her childhood upbringing was a pleasant surprise to me. Her path from teenager to journalist to politics were a learning school, molding her to see clearly right from wrong
This channel is a blessing to people who seek knowledge.The perception I used to have about HZ before watching this interview was totally negative about her but after this interview my old perception was flushed away. As KZN born and who resides in the Ngonyama land I can with that most our beautiful land is under utilised because of that you can see people leaving KZN for Gauteng including myself no one prepared to do something that will bring jobs opportunities to the people residing there. I always ask myself why they don't lease part of the land to private investors so that they can create employment for the people of the province.
Having watched the inspirational Arte tv Documentary about Mayor Chris Pappas (32) and his Deputy, Sandile Mnikathi ( 28) of uMngeni Municipality in KZN, where poor people now have solar powered street lights for safer communities and solar panels and inverters to assist them with load shedding and where local businesses are nurtured to prosper and grow and to employ more people, the DA is by far the most progressive, the most compassionate and the most experienced choice to take SA and the Multi Party Charter forward in 2024!!
These kind of conversations are what every individual genuinely interested in the future of South Africa should be tuned into and thinking through every word that these politicians are feeding the nation.
Mam’ Helen Zille articulated her points clearly. Most of what she spoke about makes a lot of sense.
She is also very correct about the immigration issue, this populist idea that you can wake up and just round people up does not work in a democracy.There are laws and statutes to be followed once someone enters your country. Introducing strict anti corruption laws and regaining control of the law with severe consequences to those that break it, will naturally get rid of those who are in the country to conduct illicit businesses.
Multi Party Charter to rescue and save South Africa and its citizens.
It will bring nothing but chaos.
@@ColGaddafi The EFF is the agent of chaos and destruction in SA!!
We need a strong DA to anchor and stabilise our beautiful country!!
I am not a proponent of an MPC, even in 2020 I thought they might consider this, but it remains politics Pieter, and who (in the event this would actually work) would preside in office? I present this quandary... it is both impossible and inevitable that the ANC will remain the ruling party. At any rate, sure those who vote and want the generation after the latest to have a future for the sake of their kids should vote. If the opposition wins, it will still take a decade since the issues we face is existential. Rescue is what they say, salvage is... look the total registered taxpayers is about 7%, those registered for receiving grants 20% (ballpark) the amount of people losing their business/employment right now... I am not negative nor positive, I am a realist
Yes!
No thats a recipe for disaster, they will eventually fight amongst themselves.
Helen Zille, pragmatic, principled and highly intelligent. Looking gorgeous too! An amazing person.
Helen is one politician that is patriotic about South Africa and its future however politics of color or race which from a young age we have been brought up under clouds our objectivity and judgement when it comes to endorsing the DA
Vote DA 💙
People need to put race aside💙
True but the DA is also not helping itself. Their stance on international affairs, their allies, their financial backers, what they say about the land issue is why majority of the population doesn't want them. So it is what it is
Happy to see Mama Hellen.
She contributed a lot towards bringing democracy in South Africa ❤😂
No she didn’t 😂😂

Helen Zille a noble politician
DA has a proven record of good governance, plus a clear, practical vision for the future and is therefore trustworthy.
it really deserves to be in power 🦾

Well done Helen, for your clear concise and accurate response to the questions . I hope he and everyone who watched David’s interview may now understand the huge task ahead for SA. Thank you.
forward Helen !!!! 🦾
Wow I cant believe she's 73. She looks younger like she's in her 50's.
Plastic surgery can do that.
Purpose keeps us invigorated.
She was impressive, she secured my vote for 2024.
1st interview ka mama Helen and am not sure about DA still but she spoke well and i completely understood and i have way more respect for her
We need a strong DA in SA as an anchor against turbulent times ahead!
Only the DA is large enough, honest enough and capable and experienced enough to fix our broken country and make it work again for all South Africans!!
Do not underestimate the precarious situation that our country is in!!
Firstly interviewer did a great job and I have to admit Helen Zille is absolutely spot on. I judged her from sensationalist headlines and never heard her speak in long format. I was impressed. We need just need practical policy to lay the foundation to grow the economy and RULE of LAW and things will flow from there. Idealist politics will tank this country. Take care and be practical please, vote with head not heart.
Much respect to Zille.
Difference between Floyd and this woman is that she speaks from experience.
Practical too. Not those Floyd theoretical ideas.
And she doesn't speak to please the audience. She doesn't get aggressive like most politicians do
@@tshifhiwamusingadi6785I also like her conviction, that is how one should lead by conviction not by trying to please everyone and being spineless and useless 😅
That counts but not much.. and, not all experience is right experience.
Did she just get the experience or did she start from 0 to 1 also? You expect a young Floyd to have 30 years experience when he is only in 40s. Is this the type of brain u use to think everyday about everything?

Hellen Zille is Well versed in actual facts and solutions.And she has a proven track record of success in tbe Western Cape.🙏💝🙏💪💪💪As for land reform? CR owns 30 farms.Julius Malema owns at least 6 farms and numerous homes one of which has 30 bedrooms
😂😂😂 Don't make me laugh. do you have proof of that about my President Malema?
The DA is failing the coloured and the black community in township
People hate Helen but she speaks the truth and on may occasions she has managed to change my mind
They wont exist if we all come together and work on building up the country that's why they need us to fight each other and not vote DA
Helen ne DA are racists let's not forget that they called Indians heroes when they killed black people
If we want unity, address the identity classification issue. We are all SOUTH AFRICANS period................

I wish SA citizens will:
1. Go and vote in big numbers.
2. Stop voting based on race.
3.Vote based on who will improve their future long term.
I agree with your number 1
But maybe your number 2 needs a little bit more Nuance, I think Identity politics will and forever be a part of any conversation about representation...even Helen is on the fence about calling the middle eastern conflict Genocide, she then naturally accepts what happened to her family in Germany Genocide, and that's only fair because that's how she and generations before her have felt...race in South Africa is same, as long as everyone accepts their identity, they will seek representation that resonates with alleviating the inherent challenges
Most people are either apathetic or vote ANC because they fear the white boogeyman still. It's infuriating. They keep lowering the standard of education precisely because of this. Keep them dumb so they keep voting for the new abuser. 😂😂
Excellent comment 👌 by you 👍 and there's only one political party that can rescue SA and secure a good future to all SA citizens if the voters will just give them a chance and stop voting for micky mouse parties that only thinks of themselves and there family.
Who is that ? Which organization is that ?
@@luzukombuqu4976 only one party can fix SA all the others will only steal what is left in she money box , leave the citizens with a empty future. DA or nothing .
I like what madam Zille said about Drugs and teenage pregnancy these are biggest problems that will never take this country forward, it's a personal choice but people always points fingers,if you don't understand that it is a personal choice then forget about getting any help
Great Interview - thanks to both! SA came a long way, and still some way to go. The Future ist NOW!
She is not a bad person. And David, what a gentleman!
Tragedy that Helen isn't our president.
Absolutely love Helen❤, say what she wants to say..she honestly inspire me to keep up the fight for our country..Not without a fight✊️
A good interview! Like all politicians, they promise heaven, but when they are faced with reality, they give excuses. I have a DA ward councillor in City of Tshwane, he has no solutions, even for simple ward issues. He 'll hide when you give him problems in the ward. Going forward we need to disabuse ourself of the notion that the politicians are there for us, and start building our communities ourselves, black and white.
Amen sir!
No party is perfect and one ward councillor is not representative of a whole party. DA municipalities are head and shoulder above the broken ANC/EFF municipalities.
Rome wasn't built in a day. Tshwane is going to take a lot of time to rebuild after the ANC left it in shambles...
Spot on !
@@the_antiquarkThe ANC makes the same excuse, they took over from apartheid, true leaders take accountability.
I love this, thank you. I’ve lived and own properties in both Eastern Cape metros (NMB and BCM), the difference in municipal services is night and day. Under a DA-led coalition (Athol Trollip and Retief Odendaal) the city was visibly clean. Although water consumption was highly monitored, we never reached day zero. One could see where their rates and taxes were going. I definitely can’t say the same for BCM, oh what a disaster 😢
