He has very interesting ideas:D
Malema is the new revolutionary
‘‘we use their language so that they can hear everything we say’’
News just in: Bobi Wine has been re-arrested by Police at Entebbe Airport as he was heading out of the country to get more medical attention
Those wigs are ugly.
He has a good agenda but he should be given security because other African rights activists have lost their life for less. I thought those wigs were done away with ama?
He is Very right
Retarded thinking.He should focus on the Zimbabwenaezation of South Africa.
I just saw the hammer and sickle and realized that Malema is a relic of the Paleozoic era. Communist drivel is nothing worth listening to.
So, kenya is the gay kid?!
Yup, he should beef up his security, Patrice Lumumba would have changed Zaire aka DRC but was murdered for having similar thoughts.
What I like about EFF is that it’s a movement, not a one man show. They may not gain power today but they will challenge and reshape political and economic thinking in SA, you cant ignore them!:D:D
U are the retard, and nothing to show for it btw.
Every time Malema speaks I feel like he is taking the words right out of my mouth.
This is the new MLK .
This is the new Malcolm X
This is the new Haile Selassie.
This is the reincarnation of Gaddafi.
This is the new Kwame , Mugabe, Idi Amin, Ken Sarowiwa, Matiba, Kimathi, Mboya , Bob Marley, Tupac Shakur and All the visionaries that we never listened to All rolled up in one as a Final reminder of what we as people could be if we dared to believe in our own potential.
But Niggaz jus don’t know!
#MalemaforAUpresident
Killing him would only accelerate the tensions down there
CJ Mutunga refused to wear those ugly things lakini CJ Maraga is too brainwashed to think freely
Malema for AU president is something France would never allow. Francophone African countries are like Kenya in 1968. Very little development has taken place in that part of Africa because France prefers it that way.
But I support a leader than can unite all Africans.
enyewe what is the purpose of those white floor rags that these judges put in their heads? must they be white? why not any other color like rainbow or even purple
This is was brilliant speech. “Julius Malema for President”
Good speech. Looks like he is aiming for symbolism though. One President, currency, language. I am not sure how such gives you financial freedom, which is what Africa in general needs.
Probably, I should have created my own thread, but I’ll try to be brief.
Personally, I don’t believe Malema’s message resonates with Kenyans.
Malema’s ideals concerning white people and the empowerment of black people are shaped by his environment. Now, we should remember that the South African economy is still in the hands of white people. That includes manufacturing businesses, the banking industry, mining, farming, construction, wholesale/retail and the real estate. Only a small % of those businesses are owned by black people. As a result, black people in South Africa are not owners of capital and that limits their ability to start high-growth businesses. Chances are that black people with education work in industries owned by white people and for those who are uneducated, they are left to do menial jobs in the farms, in the mining sector, in the retail sector and in the taxi business. A similar concept is reflected in sports where until recently the South African rugby team was mainly composed of white players. That is also true for sports like swimming, cricket and field events.
Now, for those living in towns, while a significant percentage of the white people can afford to live in affluent neighborhoods, the majority of black people live in impoverished neighborhoods where there are issues such as high crime rates, high rates of unemployment and so on.
The current state of black people in South Africa is informed by the fact that apartheid was abolished just about 2 decades ago (1994). Before then, it was illegal for black people to own businesses and - in some cases - even to go to school. Those are the people who feel left out in the current South Africa - even though South Africa is economically miles ahead of other African countries.
Black South Africans who feel disenfranchised blame their problems on immigrants and white people. As recent as 2014/2015, they were killing immigrants from Ethiopia, Nigeria, Kenya, Somalia and Eritrea. While their hatred for African immigrants is unjustified, we should remember that they feel so because they lack economic opportunities.
Flip that to Kenya. As a country, Kenya gained independence in 1963, about five and half decades ago. Some white men sold their land to the government and some Kenyans who were fighting for land got it post-independence. However, I must emphasize that not every Kenyan got their fair share of land.
Nevertheless, unlike South Africa, the white man has little control of the Kenyan economy. That stems from the fact that some wealthy Kenyans and families own banks, manufacturing industries, restaurants, transport businesses and big wholesale/retail businesses. Not everyone is economically empowered, but at least a sizeable % of wealth is in the hands of black Kenyans.
In Kenya, the white man is black, if you know what I mean. It’s a class issue and not a race issue. For that reason, it will be very hard for Kenyans born post 1980’s to resonate with what Malema is talking about.
Agree with you. And he sounds like someone talking in the 70s.
