Helen Zille directing traffic was the best thing to happen this weekend

Western Cape premier Helen Zille can occasionally find herself at the center of some very nasty Twitter spats. Over the weekend however, she did something which won over social media users across the country: she directed traffic.

Zille noticed that there was congestion outside her official residence on Saturday, having thrown open its grounds to an organic food market. Rather than sending out a flunky to take care of the situation, the premier decided to take action herself.

Check it out:

Zille’s reaction to the recording surfacing was pretty humble too:
