It’s Her Majesty Helen Zille’s Coronation on Wednesday
During the elections some commenters on this blog asked me what I would do if Helen Zille and the DA won the Western Cape provincial elections.
Well, I kicked my imaginary cat – twice…and then moved on.
Even though I don’t think Mrs Zille is the best option for the Western Cape and that she will further polarise the city into white and black, I have always maintained that I believe in our democracy.
I do believe though that having a premier that I have not voted for, representing a party I do not identify with in any way, will make me a much better, more vocal citizen.
As someone who lived in this province all my life, I will be watching her majesty like a hawk, calling her out on any shortfalls, especially on the Cape Flats and in townships as 49% of the Province did not vote for the DA.
I will continue to comment when Mrs Zille gets on her high horse and speaks down to people who don’t agree with her.
My hope is that the ANC will be a strong opposition, as they were before taking over the provincial parliament in 2004.
I also hope COPE gets rid of Alan Boesak who cost them at least 2 votes that I know of, finds their identity and for the sake of their own survival to not enter alliances with either the ANC or DA.
I would wish the new premier-in-waiting well, but I would be lying.
