Congratulations to Helen Zille and the DA - Zille was recently voted best mayor in the world: Helen Zille named world's best mayor
I would love to hear a response from the two real ANC factions.
Zille was on Talk Radio 702 tonight and she skillfully quipped that Lekota's real ANC is not trying to be an opposition to the real ANC. They are trying to be the real ANC.
Zille also answered a question which many (either racist, arrogant or naive) real ANC supporters have been exhaustively posing, clinging to it as the ultimate proof that the DA are racist. The questioner asked why, if Joe Seremane is not good enough to lead the party, did they nominate him to lead the country when parliament elected Kgalema Motlanthe as state president.
The answer is simple. A person who is not a member of parliament cannot be nominated for president. Helen Zille is not a member of parliament. She was too busy becoming the best mayor in the WORLD! Joe Seremane is party chairman and is therefore the DA's most senior person in parliament and was thus nominated for president.
Remember, don't be an idiot. Don't listen to Bishop Tutu. Vote in next year's elections. There are alternatives to the two real ANC factions.
Anyone notice who the 8th best mayor is?

I met Helen Zille twice now and she has a presence that I can only imagine Nelson Mandela has.
Her passion to make South African the best country in the world to live in is visible in her dedication, determination and hard work.
