💨 Abstract

Former Democratic Alliance (DA) leader Helen Zille faced criticism for a social media post praising the Afrikaner work ethic, especially during Apartheid. Zille questioned the economic empowerment demands of the ATM Party and was accused of ignoring the privileges Afrikaners held, including educational opportunities and protection through Apartheid. Zille's reply sparked controversy, with several users calling out her controversial statements and asserting that Afrikaners benefited unfairly.
