When the noble former leader of the DA, Tony Leon, paid tribute to the late Helen Suzman during her stint in the 60s as a lone voice opposed to apartheid in the then so-called Parliament, he described her as “not one of those people who will say change is coming”.
To those to whom this statement may sound like a racist irritation against Obama’s Change is Coming ‘rhetoric’, don't be overly sensitive. Tony Leon is not a racist but was himself an irritant all throughout his short political career, easily excitable by basic challenges the country was naturally trying to overcome.
