Uhm.. If I was a Zuma sibling I'd be a bit more reserved comparing anyone's looks to those of a gorilla..

Not going to post any pictures but just google Pam Golding Kelly-Ann Wade, then again everybody knows only wypipo can be raycis..

Zuma is black so not sure how she can be racist against her own race. It is however dehumanizing - she's trying to say Thuli is ugly not that her race makes her a gorilla.

Is your definition of race by the colour of skin or by anthropological features?

Yeah I wouldn't call it racist per se.

Dehumanising and monumentally insulting, without a shadow of a doubt.

It's a mix, but most racists distill it down to just the colour of the skin even within the same race group. What is your point?

Must be lekker sitting on leather couches sipping wine and talking smack on Twitter all day long while the rest of the country is working or struggling to make ends meet.

Never forget that the couches they chill on are the lekker old style colonial leather couches like this

Must be lekker sitting on daddy's leather couches sipping wine and talking smack on Twitter all day long while the rest of the country is out working or struggling to make ends meet.

Just get your dad to sell the country to someone.. and then you can sit on daddy's leather couch too

Mmusi still trying to be relevant

 

[ShaunSA]

Same with pretty much every other politician on Earth.

Only the has-beens

Mmusi disagrees

“This is blatant racism and demeaning of a fellow human being. A violation of Thuli Madonsela’s dignity,” said Maimane.

“Her grace in response does not legitimise this. Regardless of who utters this, racism is racism. I hope you will have the courage to withdraw, apologise and delete.”

Ja I wonder sometimes what happened to just calling people out on being a douchebag.
