Alexandra residents welcome Zille
DA leader Helen Zille was welcomed by a group of supporters as she hit the campaign trail in Alexandra, Johannesburg, on Wednesday.
Democratic Alliance supporters wearing party T-shirts welcomed the delegation which was escorted by several police vehicles.
They sang in Zulu: "Thuli, ask them how did they build Nkandla" (Thuli khawubabuze bayakhe kanjani iNkandla).
A double-decker bus arrived soon afterwards carrying more supporters.
DA Gauteng premier candidate Mmusi Maimane told supporters it was unfair that President Jacob Zuma's cattle lived better than Alexandra residents did in their hostels.
Zuma is under fire over a report by Public Protector Thuli Madonsela that he unduly benefited from an over R200 million upgrade to his home in Nkandla,
KwaZulu-Natal.
