Helen Zille calls for South Africans to return home

Cape Town’s new mayor Helen Zille, fresh from her battle against the ANC to gain power in the Mother City, has appealed to all South Africans who have left the country to return. Speaking at a reception for the cast of the successful movie Tsotsi, Zille said those South Africans who left to seek success overseas should return where new ground is being broken and a vibrant democracy is being built. She says Tsotsi could be used as a bridge for national unity. Director Gavin Hood agreed with Zille, saying the movie speaks to people of different backgrounds and tells a universal story.
