With the local government elections looming, Helen Zille took to Twitter to try and poach DJ Fresh to join the DA camp and by the looks of it, the radio personality isn’t keen at all.
The Western Cape Premier asked DJ Fresh – real name Thato Sikwane – to kindly change his name on Twitter from ‘Big Dawg’ to ‘Big DA-wg’ up until the elections.If DJ Fresh’s response is anything to go by, we suggest Helen shouldn’t hold her breath.@DJFreshSA Hi there, just till the election, won't you change your name to Big DA-wg? Thank you.— Helen Zille (@helenzille) April 12, 2016
