THE ruling party launched another scathing attack on Democratic Alliance leader Helen Zille by calling her a “witch”.
This time it was African National Congress heavyweight and Labour Minister Membathisi Mdladlana who threw another punch at the soon to be sworn-in Premier of the Western Cape.
Mdladlana made the remark during an official unveiling of the Mkiva Monument in Bolotwa near Dutywa on Saturday.
Mdladlana said he was disappointed to hear on television news recently that “some young people thought Zille was a good leader who was working hard for the betterment of the people”.
In reference to Zille, Mdladlana said in isiXhosa, “Igqwirha iyohlala iligqwirha”, which, directly translated into English, means “a witch will remain a witch”.
Mdladlana said a “witch” would never change and slammed the young black voters who voted for the DA in the recent polls.
The attack by Mdladlana comes hot on the heals of another attack on Zille by ANC Youth League president Julius Malema.
Last week the firebrand youth leader called Zille a “racist little girl”.
“She (Zille), the racist little girl, must remember that Zuma is her boss,” Malema said, according to Sapa.
“Helen Zille must report to Zuma about the Western Cape … the racist girl has not won … all of them must call ‘President Zuma’, President,” Malema said.
