Former Western Cape premier Helen Zille’s legal battle to overturn public protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane’s report on her controversial colonialism tweets has been defined by marathon heated arguments between her advocate and the judge deciding the case — who has repeatedly highlighted the pain, hurt and offence the tweets caused.
In response to Zille’s advocate Sean Rosenberg’s argument that the tweets had promoted a “healthy and lively debate” about the legacy of colonialism, Habedi referred to a tweeted response that stated “SA would be better off if all [Zille’s] people left and we dragged forward Africa instead of engaging colonialism’s heritage”.
The judge went on to ask whether the anger felt by people in response to Zille’s tweets “could end up being something that any reasonable person could take as an incitement to imminent violence?”.
