MBABANE:Herman Mashaba, the leader of Action SA has accused Democratic Alliance(DA) Federal Chairperson Helen Zille of hating black people, the Mail & Guardian reported this week.

Mashaba has vowed to block Zille from becoming Joburg mayor next year, saying she did not have the interests of black people at heart. He said that, when he was mayor of Joburg, Zille was opposed to him providing services to poor communities, claiming they did not pay taxes or vote for the party.

Mashaba further told the Mail & Guardian that, Zille who was two(2) months ago announced as a DA’s mayoral candidate, believed that she was doing black people a favour by providing services to them.

“Hell no, it’s not going to happen. We are going to let the people of Johannesburg know the kind of person Helen Zille is, because Helen Zille is the kind of person that believes that, in the provision of services to black communities, she’s doing us a favour,” Mashaba told the Mail & Guardian.
