Helen Zille: The Burke saga, a response to Corné Mulder, and the battle for Joburg and beyond

Loading player...
Helen Zille left her husband, sons and grandchildren in Cape Town to chase what she calls one of the toughest jobs of her career: mayor of Johannesburg. In this wide-ranging conversation with Alec Hogg, she explains why she'd rather walk straight into opposition than repeat the "extortion" coalition deals that helped bring Joburg to its knees, takes on the DA's Mark Burke controversy head-on, and reveals what Henry Kissinger once told her about the DA's chances on the African continent. Blunt, unscripted, and not without a fight.
