    Haha this guy could not get his way , Helen is to smart and to honest. ๐ŸŽ‰ well done Helen. You know actually what agenda they trying to push. And we won't have it.
  • I love you Gogo Hellen. May God gives you more strength. You love our country unconditionally. Long live DA โค
  • The reporter tried his utmost to find fault in the DA. Ziller showed her experience in putting him to bed. Please put SA first
  • @PatBouwer
    Helen we are so proud of you. You're an incredible woman specially sent by God
  • I wish this Aldrin would interrogate some of the corrupt political members from the ANC like this! He is obviously a comrade supporter. VTSEK
  • As I have mentioned before, many of these journalists who interview Helen, are seemingly ill-informed. In recent times, I have began to dislike Aldrin's line of questioning, especially toward DA officials. Does he know that Helen was an investigative journalist, and very good at that before entering politics?
  • This reporter is deliberately keeping himself stupid by not wanting to understand the answers Helen is giving,.hes more interested in trying to trap her in her answers, Than the actual truth.
  • ๐Ÿ‘ Helen tough questions answered very well๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฆ
  • Helen is always very clear, and unambiguous. She says it like it is. I admire her and am always ready to hear her opinion.
  • Well done Helen Zille. Your intelligent, honest and transparent answers had Adrian look a bit uncomfortable at times.
  • If the ANC stuck to the agreement regarding proportionality, the ANC would have 12 portfolios. Stop attacking the DA for cabinet size, the ANC is the issue.
  • You got to feel sorry for anybody coming across Helen...if you don't have your ducks in a row, she'll maje an idiot of you. Many criticize her ways, but she knows her stuff and stands her ground. An exceptionally gifted politician.
