Following last week’s publication, the
Democratic Alliance Leader Helen Zille still cease’s to re-structure her
Twitter account. According to Mail & Guardian reporter Nickolaus Bauer,
Zille is losing credibility due to her inability of using her Twitter account.

Being a political leader and an icon for many
young people, Zille Tweets like an irresponsible teenager going through
confusion. Her Twitter, @HelenZille was used to be the spot to go for
well measured and eloquent tweets that offered Zille a certain sense of
political diplomacy, now she has made it a platform for political dispute and
unworthy of praise and one only needs to turn to excerpts from her feed for the
reasons as to why.
During
presidential ellections, Zille projects herself as a leader of credibility and integrity;
however her tweets say the opposite of what she is portrayed as. Zille’s tweets
are filled with hate, racism and distortion, its either she breaks down the
image of the ANC or insulting commentary on children and the people South Africa.
Lerato Mashinini, a honours graduate from the University of Johannesburg asked
if the DA could be given a chance to lead the country, would Helen Zille be
able to handle the pressure of dealing with more people on a political level
and would she be able to address the public? She is currently failing to
decently tweet with her followers. http://www.twitter.com/HelenZille

A political
leader should be attentive and have credibility, communication skills should
not be questionable, and must maintain a good relationship with the people that
put the leader in power. Helen Zille as a ‘political’
leader does not have these qualities. The DA should re-think their Twitter
account and provide a more effective and quality way to communicate with their
people, because their current method is failing them dismally. The media
complains about their messages on every social network that the DA has, it
simply means that they are doing something very wrong.
