Former Mandela aide complains white investors aren’t welcome in South Africa

Twitter users meet Zelda la Grange’s comments with #ZeldaDoesntEvenKnow.

The tweets of a former assistant to Nelson Mandela have South Africans in an outrage, as the white presidential aide said over the weekend that President Jacob Zuma did not make white investors feel welcome in the country.

Zelda la Grange complained on Twitter about what she considered poor treatment of white investors in South Africa, claiming the current administration discriminated against them. La Grange went on to say foreign money was only benefiting the Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) programme, created to help groups affected by apartheid.
