'Zille is the DA’s equivalent of the ANC’s “Teflon man” – Zuma. Of course, she doesn’t face the myriad corruption allegations against the president, but she’s accused of racism'.

This statement reflects a lot that's wrong with the media's sanctimony, and why it's being heavily criticised by many. I'm not a fan of Zille, but she's been accused of racism by vapid, often hysterical members of social media and media, ANC (what else?) and those within the party who have issues with her. Nicolson refers to her being a liability comparable to Zuma, but has the charge been upheld by a credible and impartial hearing? Or is it good enough that one is accused, judged and found guilty in a trial by social media?

While we as a nation call upon the ANC and DA, among others, to examine their attitudes and conduct, I suppose it's asking too much for Greg and his media colleagues to do the same. No, of course they won't: humility is for others.
