ANC Youth League president Julius Malema outdid himself at a rally in Durban’s Cato Manor yesterday, branding DA leader Helen Zille “racist”, “colonialist” and “imperialist”.
Her deputy, Joe Seremane’s “ role . .. is to smile at the madam every time,” he said.
IFP leader Mangosuthu Buthelezi was “Mickey Mouse” and COPE consisted of “angryists” who “don’ t smile”.
He came to ANC president Jacob Zuma’s defence: “If Zuma is corrupt, then we want him with all his corruption. We want him with all his weaknesses. If he is uneducated, then we want him as our uneducated president. ” Zuma, he said, understood SA economics, which amounted to: “Put a bread on the table. We don’t want sophistication.”

Attitudes like this are nothing but shamefull ... at a time when we should be working to end divisionism and negativity in Africa, we see people throwing hate speeches. Sad ... Maybe someone should lecture him in South African politics, Im not South African but Im aware that Zille participated as an activist in the struggle against apartheid and for that she deserves some respect.
ReplyDeleteAs for the rest, this is a kid who has a lot of maturing to go through ...
The same people who claimed Obama as their own, cannot say that they want a president irrespective of their morals
I personally dont think that education (I mean formal education) is a must when selecting a president, all one wants is a wise leader who can think off his feet, sorrounds himself by the right people and understand the concerns of that people

What a load of rubbish. Mr. Malema just shows how immature he is; he deserves a lecture like a little kid who misbehaved. He cannot talk on behalf of the majority of the S.A. people, I don't believe most want Zuma for president, but at the end of the day, the ANC will have the final say. As for labelling Mrs. Zille racist, colonialist, etc. that is the best excuse of a person who has no arguments can use. She has proved that she is not any of that. He, himself, probably is the biggest racist and probably tribalist, too. He, sadly, is a lost case and is quite embarrassing to have for president of the Youth League someone with his behaviour and attitude. He is not setting the right example to the youth of S.A. The ANC should fire him and nominate someone with more brains and charisma. Maria Helena
ReplyDeleteLaurie, a warm welcome to you!
ReplyDeleteThis clown is a loose cannon bent in creating havoc every time he opens his dity mouth.
As no one seems to have the will to stop him, obviously he is useful to somebody.
Gostei de o ver por aqui e estou visitando o seu blog.
Abraço forte!
Maria Helena, Malema reveals the ugly face of South African politics, this is the retarded that said he is prepared to kill for Zuma.
ReplyDeleteHe is a clown that is damaging the name of the ANC and the reluctance of the leadership to deal with him surely is going to cost many votes to the ANC.
