Early in March I did a post about Politicians on the tube. That was just when Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama and the American Democrat contenders launched their YouTube sites. I remember saying that it was time South African politicians woke up and realised what a powerful medium the Internet was.
Well Helen Zille, Cape Town mayor and new DA leader is certainly very PR savvy, so it is no wonder that she is the first local to jump onto this particular platform by launching a Zoopy page.
You learn all kinds of interesting things like the fact that Helen's Xhosa name "Nontsapho" means woman for the people.

I have a feeling that she is going to use this Zoopy facility to the hilt.
I always say politics is a mixture between drama, sales and social work. These little "home made" videos showing a politician working for the people, being part of the people, talking to the people are so perfect.
I hope more politicians follow in Helen Zille's footsteps. Who will be the next, the charismatic Tokyo Sexwale?
