JOHANNESBURG, 17 August 2016 - EFF leader Julius Malema said the ANC's national leadership had cost the Gauteng branch a chance to retain power through a coalition.
I agree, the fact that we can agree to rule the biggest metro's is a step in the right direction. Overall I feel that we are finding each other...would you not agree? I think that we both have the best interests of SA in mind. I am a white male and I truly think that the EFF has made an exemplary example of how left wing minority king maker parties should operate. The DA and the EFF are not necessarily worlds apart besides some Marxist rhetoric....however I think that we can work together in 2019. Can you imagine the disgust and embarrassment of Mbete when she is thrown out of parliament on her ass :D
+John Smith You say "The DA and EFFare not necessarrily worlds apart besides some Marxist rhetoric"?...John, do you really mean this or are you just being Politically correct?
John Smith The mission is nit the same between two parties on the other side we refused to be taken back to apartheid we all have concerns and we want to rule our own country not fir whites to be killed but to live equally. Thats why we want our land back and gain our dignity.
Africans needs people like malama in every Africans country.....he amazes me most at his speech.....watching 4rm Germany....hop one dey Africans we get a good learders n develop Africans
South Africa you have a political genius here. Malema is maturing and doing the hard work of becoming a political legend as we watch. This man has chosen the right cause and I hope you south Africans continue to support and encourage him. Zuma must regret the day he allowed this bull to leave Anc tent. At least now there is a real alternative to Anc
"The Gauteng leadership is the most credible leadership in the ANC. But the problem is the national leadership in control..." "Let the Budget reflect the real bread and butter issues of our people..."
The politics of the EFF are serious politics not only of South Africa but Africa as a whole today. Africa need Economical Freedom, need leadership that is not playing politics but honest. the most sad thing is ppl of South Africans that dnt see the version of EFF.i like that EFF leadership is not rushing to power possition that is beautiful
I wish I could hate on this guy I don't know my spirit gets down at times and I wanna believe the other side but when I tune in and he's there; A political chess master, even the news people can't keep up with the innovation involved in marketing the tink tank that is the REDS. These people are doing to South African politics what San Fransisco CS grads are doing to the internet. These are real educated people who want to use that skill to transform the political industry in Africa. Ndlozi, Mpofu, Chivambu, etc. It's the type of talent in terms of football it's only limited to an el classico game between Madrid & Barca. Well played, mayibuye. Good luck to the future you did not just lose and end up in the middle as king maker u won in fact u won more support and you ended up showing us why you deserve to be in the middle. I love you.
Jacob Dinoko why would you want to hate what is good? The man is not perfect! No one is. But use your head and just listen to him. You say yourself that he is good. Then as an african why can’t you follow him? Don’t be brainwashed man by the media controlled by whites.
Best leader in words try travel above the limpopo river and look for work Africa is hell never met south Africans begging in Drc..... Then you will love white people
Man this interview has changed my mind on Malema a lot! It's sad that we only hear about the negative from media. I have had to check my white privilege a lot lately and I hear all the cries. At the same time I do not want to be treated like I do not belong in the country. As intellectual as Malema may be and as much as I agree with what he says, he makes me feel unwelcome. It is sad really. Because I am starting to like the man and what he stands for.
Mario I don’t believe he is particularly against whites. I think he’s against the economic inequality as it exists today. He’s agenda I believe is to bring black South Africans up to par with the rest of white South Africans. I think if that is done SA will become even more economical stable.
Mario dont you think if malema was more welcoming like Mmusi Maimane or Cyril Ramaphosa you would stay in your comfort zone why did it take Malema to begin self reflection...
Comfort wont help..you are welcome but things will shake you , imagine how unwelcome it feels to not own property or suffer immensely and denied many opportunities in a place called home
Malema is one of the best in south Africa but south African they under spell of white people. They refuse to open their eyes, they rather been slave to white than having black boss. Which is why u south Africans u need Malema to break the slave spirit u have on ur soul. Whta a shame u don't see that.
Malema is not just a potential south African president, he's a potential United African countries leader. African politics only focuses on dead wood like liberation movements. Let's do away with these past events and focus on reuniting Africa which it's boundaries were imposed on us by colonialism
seems really genuine. He doesnt only speak, he has actions. I like their position. The people come first and theu matter. Keep on going on. You may not agree with the ideologies but you cannot deny their desire for service delivery.
I find myself disagreeing with Malema on so many core issues, even as a young Black man. However there is something truly magnetic about his personality and his vision. I don't share his Marxist-Leninist views, but he still inspires and provides me with hope for the future of this country. Keep it up Mr. Malema. You are a breathe of fresh air in an abysmal political arena replete with corrupt, lazy and uninspiring fat cats such as Zuma, Mantashe, Bathabile, Kebby and Oros!
Syzygy perhaps I can help. Hong Kong was British, no? Now it was handed back to the Chinese with full control why can't white south African do the same and if they do not like it go to Holland and Germany.
Syzygy then vote for him! No one is perfect. I am not South African, but I long for such a man in my native Cameroon. This man is a breath of fresh air. And very intelligent. Everything he says actually makes sense.
Syzygy and he is so well informed! He talks with facts and you know he is telling the truth. No one can bullshit with such clarity. The man is brilliant.
The Marxist view is the only view that will save Africa! The Chinese economy is a planned Marxist economy with twice the population of Africa that transformed China into a powerful economic engine.. either Africa changes and adopt, or remain the same and remain enslaved!!
I like this men his talking about African lands Julius malema hi wants white people to be respected all- African male & female 😇😇😇 white people the thing the better then us wrong we are one we are the best for ever lord god love African
Well played Mr. Malema. Hopefully we see some good changes in this country because of what you have done. Now to see whether minority governments can actually achieve their mandate..
Malema u r still young n we invest in you brother u r s chosen to lead n after Ramaphosa the seat is urs....do not fear n no one a mach to ur thinking capacity... Ramaphosa is paving the way for u n he knows that n knows there's is no leader after him in the ANC..they r powerless.
I am not EFF, but I like how this guy speaks. He has a lot of common sense. I think Malema has matured a lot since his ANCYL days. Gone are the needless insults and constant race-card playing. I don't agree with his ideology, but I like the way he reasons.
Arggghhhh! Man! Are you reallly blind? EFF is in no position to assume real responsibility. The day they do, they will change the kideo kids manifesto to a political manifesto and then jostle for power in places like Rustenburg where they could easily lead the council as they are number 2 just like the DA in JHB and PTA
What are the "legal"implications or/and legal fundamental distinctions of a (1) "coalition" and (2) a "vote for" referred to by EFF CIC? Does the "vote for"the opposition amplify the EFF of entering a marriage (coalition) with the DA? Is it not just a coalition for all legal purposes and intent in the true sense of interpretation of a coalition?
In a coalition agreements are signed and they are binding. What the EFF did is that it will only elect DA mayors and after that it will vote issue by issue. So technically speaking they don't have any agreement with the DA. And this give the huge power coz they hold the deciding vote and nothing will be passed without their consent.
Interesting insights by Julius Malema - "In Joburg we are not interested in bicycle lanes, there is no cycling culture here, we want real service delivery"
This journal is very mature, I like his posture and the mannerisms of his interview. He conduct an interviews with CiC, NOT interrogating him with a white supremacist authoritative attitude. He is a well experienced legend in the game.
When politics is all you know......Malema is that he is very robust so much so that he goes all out right to the core of a persons character and he is very good at making that out. Really shows he dealt with a number of people on his way up 1. On Mmusi- ".....I don't think that one appreciates politics..." AND "......Mmusi is not a proper person, he speaks white to rich people and black to poor people". 2. On Msimangi (DA_Mayoral Candidate in Tshwane)"................At least, he is a proper person and speaks with one accent 3. On Mbalula- ".....that one would do anything for position, better to deal with a man who stands for something. I do not know what Mbalula stands for. At least Malusi I know he is an enemy but Mbalula is a hypocrite and he would do anything to get a position".
If the people of Joburg didn't want H. Mashaba as mayor they wouldn't have voted for the DA though and a need for a coalition wouldn't have surfaced because the ANC would've won the majority.
You were right CIC, but you were very wrong about Herman Mashaba. Probably the best Mayor the Democratic SA has ever seen. WOW. I live in DBN and we are so jealous for JHB.
Julius we have poor white people also. Take a good look around. We will do what ever it it takes to improve black societies, together we can. All we need is trust and positive attitude. My father was a sales man not everyone said yes to him,but others also said yes. That's life.
EFF policies are not only for poor black people, they are for all poor people. It is not right for some people to be super rich while others die from diseases which are caused by poverty. There will never be total equality but the inequality gap is south africa should be reduced
Thank you for that Dewalt, we will work together to eliminate poverty for both our white and black brothers and sisters race and racism are strong social barriers but i believe we are stronger than these
true african leader..positivity usually dsnt draw a crowd people are atracted to false behaviour reality tends to make them hate others,rise malema rise we are behind you
Many of you think he will be in power may not for long this is Ida Amin we in the western world have a better view of how we handle things I see many leaders like this but I tell he would not last for long
"To lift an autumn hair is no sign of great strength; to see the sun and the moon is no sign of sharp sight; to hear the noise of thunder is no sign of a quick ear". If u want a good second-hand car buy a brand new Nissan; articulate or not the EFF CIC is an ANC political factory fault. A drop of an ocean has got all the properties of an ocean, and those who live in glass houses should never throw stones. The Commander must stand for the virtues of wisdom, sincerity, benevolence, courage, and strictness. Politics are based on deception, the CIC has a lot to learn; so close and yet so far...
Look I agree with that politics are based on deception and Juli-ass is a master deceiver, impostor, conman etc, etc all of which you need to be a politician, he was born to/for it and it now shows that this is all he knows. Personally, I think his rise and continual rise in the future will be based on how gullible our electorate continues to be.
