💨 Abstract

Helen Zille, the DA’s Johannesburg mayoral candidate, posted and then deleted a video of herself dancing to an Amapiano track, sparking social media reactions. The lyrics of the song, which mention stealing money, led to speculation about her intentions. Zille has faced criticism before, including for a 1982 beach photo during apartheid and controversial remarks about colonialism and race.
