During the annual December holidays South Africans of all types down tools and look for some tea and respite before tackling a new year. For many of us this means the embrace of family and practice, for others it’s exotic holidays. For those who stayed put at home this year (and we have our reasons) the desire summer hours were sometimes difficult to fill with interesting enough distractions.

For those of us who had run out of TV to watch, games to tomfoolery and braais to attend, Helen Zille and Simphiwe Dana were description enough to engage in a new skirmish on Twitter (twirmish?). Details of the catcalls and kidney punches can be found here and here , but the elongated and short of this new tiff is Dana’s accusation that Cape Borough is a “racist city” and Zille’s admonition to Dana not to become “a knowledgeable black” (a phrase first coined by Jacob Dlamini in testimonial to Jimmy Manyi).
