Pearl Thusi mocked for spicy response to Helen Zille tweet

After airing her opinion on the EFF’s decision to vandalise H&M stores around the country, Pearl became enemy-number-one for a number of EFF supporters as well as their national spokesperson, Mbuyiseni Ndlozi. Dr Ndlozi shaded the TV presenter when he wrote on Twitter:

“ANC self-hating mascot who believes blacks with stones fighting oppression are savages. It would be a waist of breath to show her that she’s adopted the oppressor’s language to describe blacks. Will she also be distancing herself from savage movies like of Solomon Mahlangu? (sic)”

Realising that there was no winning this particular battle, Pearl directed her attention to a member of a different opposition party: Helen Zille of the DA.

Helen responded to a Julius Malema speech (which inferred that things are worse under the current ANC than they were during apartheid) and wrote publicly:

What?! Julius said this a few days ago. Did I miss the volcanic eruption that followed his saying apartheid left a better legacy in roads infrastructure for the poor than the ANC?  Or is outrage merely a tool to target a select few (who say much milder, more considered things)? (sic)”
