  • South Africans were not impressed by Helen Zille singing a famous Brenda Fassie song. The Mzansi politician sang Vulindlela live and shared the performance online.

The article discusses the public's reaction to Helen Zille, a prominent South African politician and former leader of the Democratic Alliance (DA), singing Brenda Fassie's famous song "Vulindlela" at a political event. Social media users expressed their displeasure and criticism towards Zille for her performance, which many felt was an inappropriate appropriation of a beloved cultural icon's work. Critics argued that Zille, who is often seen as representing white privilege in South Africa, was out of touch with the cultural significance of Fassie's music, which resonates deeply with themes of struggle and liberation in the black community. The backlash highlights ongoing racial and cultural tensions in South African politics, where actions by figures like Zille can be seen as insensitive or tone-deaf to the country's complex socio-political landscape.
