NATIONAL NEWS - Deputy chairperson of the Democratic Alliance’s (DA’s) federal executive Natasha Mazzone has come under fire for a comment she made on Twitter at the weekend.
Mazzone tweeted: “My father arrived from Naples in Italy, he was dark, and could not speak English or Afrikaans, but he was a great chef. He built himself up from nothing to make a good life for his family. I HONOUR and thank my father.”
The DA leader received backlash for suggesting that since her father “was dark”, he had not been privileged when he arrived in South Africa during the apartheid era.
