John Qwelane on DA succession battle

John Qwelane, that old homophobe whom many white people love to hate because of his virulent views, has come out in support of Helen Zille for leader of the DA. Money quote:

Granted, she is white; but a woman leader would be another desirable factor in the stale doldrums of local male-dominated politics, and it would be a telling blow for gender equality. I love the woman to bits; she might be the reason I could vote for her party, instead of boycotting the elections. I believe that under La Zille, the DA would transform itself into a party for all South Africans.

John Qwelane loves Helen Zille! What next - Jacob Zuma declaring his love for Bulelani Ngcuka? Zackie Achmat professing a deep and abiding love for Manto?
