This woman is really smart, articulate and knows what she's talking about. I spent a great deal of time disliking her for reasons that are not genuinely my own. But now I'm beginning to think differently.

We need you to continue in our politics Mrs Zille. You are a treasure and icon in this nation.

That gives me hope Helen...bravo

Love people with a clear vision and know what they talking about. You're a 'Iron women"

What a truly great woman... She replied directly to an email I sent her in 2001, she really does care about democracy.

This woman should be our president 🇿🇦 viva Helen

There is only one thing I am regretting from this whole speech... Mrs. Helen Zille is getting on in age...I do not doubt her tenacity, vigor and drive...I just wish her a loooooong life as this is what we need in South Africa. People with a determination, devotion and accountability towards their believes!

This woman…flipping awesome lady. Iron lady.💪🏻

This is a wonderful presentation. I enjoy the leadership.

She is a star which should never expire!

BRILLIANT DA.👏👏👏👏👏💪💪💪💪💪💪

Well done you brave lady .. such honesty deserves to be rewarded with success in 2024. If .. the ANC and their EFF partner doesn’t terrify South African voters with threats o violence they have not the means to carry out. My mother Cathy Taylor would be proud of you. 😊

I have great respect for this daughter of the soil…

How can anyone not like this woman? She's a true leader.

Speak zille speak you on the right track.

Thank you Helen that was BRILLIANT. I feel valuably informed.

What I love about Helen is her honesty in admitting their failure! Go Girl !

That Hellen Zille can have this level of introspection is quite profound.

Great honest practical grand lady of democratic power party ,the DA that brought sanity to SA politics. Thank you for your hard work, viva DA. Only party that makes sense to me, calling out corruption, and giving us hope. Cheers .

That was probably the best explanation of our current political situation! Super interesting 🤯

Dankie Helen, goeie feite vir vorentoe. Ons sal moet bemark ons Ystervrou!

So interesting! Such insight! Thank you!

A wonderful clear thinking person who needs the best public relations team to promote her vision . She could be the one person who could lead this beautiful country to a peaceful future full of pride optimism and hope.

This was eye opening but am I the only one who was screaming "close the marker cap, it's drying out"? 😂

As long as the majority remain uneducated (on history, the short comings of socialism and the workings of free market economies) and their concept of what a government is really for remains unchallenged, nothing will change. One has to buy into the idea of what Mrs. Zille is putting forth. Great presentation nonetheless, regardless of ideologies at least the DA has thinkers.

Great video

Great concise and enlightening explanation, we all need to be educated in South African politics to really understand our vote outcome

Brilliant and succinct analysis.

A very impressive presentation. reminded me of what a brilliant person, she is.

U a true woman of the south african soil u treat everyone equal

Bravo Helen! She is a gem. Eloquent and succint, an interesting explanation of SA politik.

Excellent analysis. The fight really is between populism and professionalism. To make any real progress, we should amend the electoral and governmental systems. For a start, our gangster-style political party system should be scrapped and our National , Provincial and Local Management leaders should be professionals in their fields.

I don't care what colour of you skin is all i want is is this republic to succeed

Such good commentary !!

She is the Margaret Thatcher of SA.

Helen Zille 4 President !!!!!

MANY THANKS

Thank You

I find it interesting that many White South Africans don't want this country to be like Zimbabwe yet hire Zimbabweans in their businesses at the expense of the Black South Africans for whatever reason. The country is going down Zimbabwe way because it is largely influenced by the Zimbabwean work force, the people who hate White people that they chased them out of Zimbabwe by the year 2000 and the same White South Africans wonder why we have farm murders rising since the very same year (2000) when those vicious Zimbabweans crossed our porous borders. Black South Africans even by the time of Apartheid never went to kill farmers as vulnerable as they were and still are. However after the influx of the undocumented Zimbabweans, coincidentally farmers are being murdered and no body wants to look at that because it won't make good political narrative and their very businesses are making money out of cheap labour of undocumented individuals ... #Cry_our_beloved_country!

There you have it!!! Ts simple

If the all "Constitutionalists in the ANC" were to vote for the DA, the DA might grow with 1%.

Sad ...our leaders across the board are compromised. .struggling to force their own survival ....the growing of South Africa as a whole takes the back seat ....has been for years..we as ordinary citizens were ruled by criminals..."eating away at the developement of the country "...beautiful ,worthless , empty words...

100%

We miss her

Helen I am your nuisance on Twitter I nearly always copy you when I send tweets. Keep going you are the best.

H.Z. look great, and in terms of political speech, all this is great. But so far, I did not get any response to my business letter and following up letter now send before covit mania started. This is where it shows that to start doing business and to create economy growing the time of democracy, capitalist or mixture, anc or da or .... of all of them are outdated in today possibilities of where technology can be a game changer. And politics is obsessed with his own politiking and languages updating only. It is not about counting votes anymore....

Ay lo mama, if I was born in the right time ngabe I married her or if failed ngabe I am her student of politics NGIYAMUTHANDA INDLELA ACABANGA NGAYO

Simplistic. The EFF is merely a disgruntled breakaway branch of the ANC. The battle will always be within the ANC.

Clarity!

Wow 👏👏👏👏💪💪💪💪 vir DA. I like DA. DA work very hard for people in sout africa. I vote 🗳for DA...

3:44. So, the ANC being allied with communist countries wasnt a dead give away?

Helen, there is no way in hell that you will convince a ANC member to leave the gravy train. Dis mos lekker geld in die sak en die goeie lewe.

Pity many educated and wealthy run away from a real challenge

Prosperous Democracy...are we living in the same Country?

Hid ters in her house -now not happy with the fruits of her labor...

That is the only way the DA will be able to be a positive strong government! NO COALITIONS!!!!! PLEASE.

Gravy train running out

#freeRamaphosa ‼️🙏🗣️🇿🇦

Zille get rid of them the anc because they don't no what they are doing.

She said to push south africa in the direction she wants them to go but nothing is done with out the new world order permition in

Democracy will survive........

Last year, a leaked voice notice surfaced where Helen stated that the DA were happy with being an opposition party (with 20-25% of the vote). Has this changed? Are the DA really going after national government?

Romney told the crowd that he has a chart in his office tracing the history of civilizations over the past 4,000 years, a reminder of how they can rise and collapse, and of how unusual American democracy is in global history. Autocracy is the chart’s “default setting," he warned. I'm sure a tiny number of constitutional democrats have little or no chance of moving the huge mass of historical autocrats and tribalists across the continent towards democracy. Partition would have a better chance of working

I still wonder who the non voters will vote for. The 14 million unregistered and the 11 million registered.

I'm sure we can get a black educated and ideological person aligned for the DA , you guys also have to maintain your working relationship with Action SA ideological, nurse all other small parties to be ilighned for your next elections , white face his historical baggage and your tarnished and that you have to overcome

Someone said to me they think Helen's mistake is to think political parties exist to promote values. Reality is political parties exist to advance interest which may include certain values for example Christianity or Islam. Helen's three key values of constitutionalism, rule of law and free markets are code words for interests of middle class and upper middle class or capitalists. This explains why the DA is stuck at 22% of the vote and now fears losing the Coloured working class vote to the Patriotic Alliance. Mmusi raised DA to 27% because he started to articulate interests of Black middle class and working class. Once he left DA fell back to WCI ethnic vote.

Where is SA going? To shit if you ask me, everything that the far right told you that will happen prior the fall of apartheid, happend... sad having to admit that to ourselves.

Hi Miss Zille the Soul of Afriva has already been reclaimed by its original Owner's. So whatever is happening on ground level is perfect for the establishment of the New Earth. Hold on to your hat.. crazy times ahead..

Overly simplistic. Cyril’s best bet is splitting the ANC and absorbing the DA. There is no prospect of the DA absorbing the ANC.

Christ on a bike politics really is a cesspit! Where are the people of principle? Everyone seems to be working strategically like a bunch of slithering slimy snakes! I really do think that the parties are the problem. It seems that the skillset and morals that enable one to climb to the top of a political party are the polar opposite of those that make for good leadership. Bring on the philosopher kings, this system is broken...

The former chief Justice can be the president yall DA la nya nyiiii🤣🤣🤣🤞

horrible camera work

The DA is doing a brilliant job but now the main drive before 2024, must be to convince the black vote that the DA is NOT going to bring back apartheid...This is a primary fear held amongst the majority of blacks.

The EFF vs DA dynamic is basically exploitation vs totalarianism. It is not looking good on either end.

I feel sorry for Hellen, to see here dream destroyed by others thinking differently. But She missed the point. She hammers the ideal of constitutionalism, but a constitution is an artifact created by humans, so they can change it. So why would I vote for a constitution? By the way which constitution am I voting for, the 1996 or 2023 constitution, they are significantly different. Hopeless people vote for those things that may immediately relief their poverty slightly. Rich people will vote for policies that will make them more rich, and rightly so, humans are by nature greedy, how do you eat, sleep and drink a constitution when you are greedy? The Nationalist party was as corrupt as the ANC. The political party in power and the government is alway one and the same, it is so by design. You cannot change this, it is a given. If the DA is in power you will have the same problems. Solving this problem does not solve my problem of a hopeless and meaningless group of people, the majority I would guess, how do they find hope and meaning, live without fear form both government and/or fellow citizens? Rule of law is meaningless if government officials themselves are lawless. Using words like experts, technocrats and specialist are senseless if they are corrupt as well. Escom is an example of experts destroying a system with the approval of Government and by extension voters thus also approve of the mess at Escom. Only “we the people” can fix this problem, current politicians cannot, they are all implicated. What we have is because of them, that is both ANC and DA. They must all go, preferably to jail. If I understand Hellen correctly, she is on an ego trip to salvage her legacy. That equates with hopelessness and tyranny. I really think we have had enough of this. First the Nationalist party and now the ANC. Hellen clearly indicates that she wants revenge, not really interested in promoting hope and meaning. She will basically continue the same useless economic policies adopted by the ANC, which are fundamentally aiming at destroying South Africa’s economy, the hope of people, instilling fear and feed her own greed.

My expectations have sunk so low that I'll be happy if the country just doesn't implode like Zimbabwe.

"no-racialism" is an insult to our history. shame, shame on you who think that way..

Future off SA ZIM 2.0

Lol DA need help to win she's trying cover the truth

Why would she think she can work with a group of people DA is failing to create a home for within itself? To pin your strategy on what happens in another political party sounds like a political suicide, hence the drop in numbers of DA at the last polls. My prediction is Action SA will over shadow DA in the next election and that will be the end of that. If business wanted to create jobs in SA the would have done so by now with the enormous concessions SA has extended already.

What does 60+ doing in offices

Ace / duduzane.. Motsepe

Trojan horse!!

These ones must stop giving our ppl blue Tshirt and 200 bucks to vote for them...

😂 democracy is failing globally.. countries that adopted democracy most are in debt..and Russia China are more practicing democracy than USA and Allies 😂

South Africa is not a democracy and it’s to same place as Rhodesia, hell

The ANC will not bring in DA's Fascism (the road to Fascism is paved with Democracy).

The DA is just as bad as the ANC as you both do ot follow God's laws. If only elievers knew what they need to do is look for the only party that follows His laws and fights against the introduction of things that are opposite !!!

Liar

The soul of SA is land and economy. DA and ANC are dying parties, since they represent a few landlords. EFF which represent the poor will continue to grow.

Woman just say how you going to improve the poverty of South Africans and stop making it looks like you are afraid if the blacks takes over to shake up things.

Lo gogo thinks she owns the country mxm
