Western Cape Premier Helen Zille has defended colonialism.
On Thursday morning while at the airport, the former DA leader had the country - and most Democratic Alliance leaders - up in arms when she tweeted: "Getting onto an aeroplane now and won't get onto the Wi-Fi so that I can cut off those who think EVERY aspect of colonial legacy was bad."

For those claiming legacy of colonialism was ONLY negative, think of our independent judiciary, transport infrastructure, piped water etc.

Would we have had a transition into specialised health care and medication without colonial influence? Just be honest, please.
