Johannesburg – From witchcraft, to rocky relationships and illusions, Mzansi Twitter went wild with the #MzansiScaryStories hashtag. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Social media users shared funny stories – some from their childhood and some in current day situations in their lives. The mantra was \u2018we all have a South African horror story to share\u2019.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n And the scope was wide, even including some politicians who have been in the news of late. Like Helen Zille, the DA\u2019s recently appointed federal council chairperson, who made a stunning come back to politics last weekend. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Zille was elected at a party conference in Johannesburg last Sunday. Her return sparked the swift exit of DA leader Mmusi Maimane, Joburg mayor Herman Mashaba and former Nelson Mandela Bay Mayor Atholl Trollip. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n One Twitter user thought she was the ultimate \u2018Mzansi Scary Story\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n #MzansiScaryStories<\/a>.<\/p>\n That’s it.
