The Young Communist league of South Africa (uFasimba) finds Helen Zille's vicious claims about the Human Rights Commission as highly opportunistic, shallow and a blatant attack on the integrity of our democratic institutions.


This attack comes after the Human Rights commission has initiated an investigation in the brutal attacks of civilians in Hangberg, Houtbay. Residents of Hangberg have been victims of brutal violence in the hands of the SAPS and the metro Police under the command of the City of Cape town. This shows that Hellen Zille has no regard for the poor communities in the Western Cape.

When institutions investigate the ANC they are seen as progressive and defenders of our Constitution and democracy by the very same DA. Seemingly when the tables turn and such similar legal process are applied to the DA, they are labelled as Political Hit-squads. This is extremely hypocritical considering how vocal the DA is on issues of morality and integrity.


We should all defend the Integrity of institutions such as the Human Rights Commission and appreciates their level of objectivity and respect for the law and Constitution Justice should never be selective if we claim to live in a democratic society. We welcome the investigation and hope that it will expose the racism and human rights violation demonstrated by the DA led government in the Western Cape
