Well, Darren Maule seems to think so: https://twitter.com/darrenmaule/status/850393626119213056

Everybody's only sharing that .jpg, but who actually has the .jpg who saw the original tweet on her account? If it's somebody reputable, it settles that quickly.

that guy's brave for a media person :D

Was a nice day out...actually appreciated the cooler weather today. Kudos to everyone who came out and made the marches what they were.

Thoughts? She's a lying moron?

Look, to be fair, like I said above there hasn't been anybody reputable that I've seen who has claimed that they saw the original tweet in her timeline and screencapped it for that image. Maybe the news reports did? It's not clear, one story does say the tweet was deleted (or did it just appear to be that way when the reporter looked for a tweet that never existed anyway?).

Based on the rest of her posts, it's a bit inconclusive: https://twitter.com/DlaminiZuma/with_replies
She doesn't seem to post a lot or frequently engage with other people's discussions, but she DOES use those characteristic .... quite a bit: https://twitter.com/DlaminiZuma/status/850047350718570500

If the post DID come from her it's possible it was in a moment of anger, which is why it's so messy and poorly worded.

Seriously, if the enemy others all whites, we're no better than them if we other the enemy with broad strokes. 'The majority' is not 'clueless and brainwashed' - even in Just_Ice's story, they just finished a march with thousands of black people protesting against Zuma and were confronted by 3 guys. Do the maths on that. Even the bigger attempted ANCYL raid on the DA march was "only" 100 people, and they were pushed back by the police. Today we've had over 50 000 people nationally taking part in these marches (a LOT more most likely - but how does one count everybody in a little picket on a random street corner), and most of them weren't white. You're right that Zuma's supporters are what he relies on, but he and the ANC are over-extending themselves: their radical supporters are in the minority and the majority are turning against them steadily.

I'm not a fundamentalist religious person but I've always liked this verse which is appropriate:

Spot on, people need to stop feeding the "them vs us" narrative, this is the division that Zuma and company want and it's what they thrive on and it's what keeps them in power. If you want people to stop voting for Zuma or the ANC a good start is to stop insulting them, stop feeding into the narrative that is being told by the ANC that you are an "arrogant white monopolist who thinks everyone else is stupid".

All fair enough, and in all honesty, my dislike of her is not properly informed and therefore not rational.
