I must say that I think the attack on NDZ is out of line. I have agreed with her on many issues and disagreed on others, but she is without doubt a patriot who is committed to this country. The attack on her is outrageous and has to be challenged by all committed Southh Africans.

NDZ has a right to make her case for why alcohol & cigarettes should not be sold. Feel free to differ on this. But no one has the right to target her in personal attacks. It’s not fair & poisons our public discourse. Engage her with the respect you would like to be engaged with.
