“Why is it only ‘cheeky’ when you call a white person a monkey?” Helen Zille

She just had to go there, didn’t she? Such a loaded word right now and the premier just had to go and throw it back into the public domain.

After Malema referred to Zille as a “dancing monkey,” she posted a picture of a newspaper article on her Twitter account that reads: “Why is it just sweetly cheeky to “dub” a white person a “monkey”? #JustAsking.”

The article she referred to was one in which Malema in his capacity as ANC Youth League leader back in 2011 called the then DA leader a dancing monkey.
