Julius Malema is nothing, if not consistent. He’s never been one to shy away from all matters related to race, and as the EFF embarks on its campaign to scoop-up votes in the 2021 Elections, Juju is going back to a topic that is tried and tested – by sticking the boot into white South Africans.
Julius Malema dusts off an old classic…
Juju doesn’t seem to care too much about offending 8% of the population, and his latest utterances probably won’t win him any more friends from this particular demographic. On Tuesday, the EFF leader was out rallying voters in Sedibeng, Gauteng. He spoke about restoring the dignity of black voters, following 27 years of ANC rule.
“We want to restore the dignity of a black person. I was introduced here as an incoming president, but honestly, I am not obsessed with those things. I want to liberate the mind of an African child. The EFF is going to take this land. Even if we die today, the next generation will continue the struggle.”

The shenanigans didn’t end there, though. The boisterous orator thrilled hundreds of supporters in attendance, as COVID-19 protocols remained in short supply. The 40-year-old leader of the Red Berets has dismissed the current regulations – claiming that the decision to hold elections at this point ‘means lockdown laws are now useless’.
It’s an interesting take, but one that was outdone by Julius Malema’s latest message to the white community. With reports emerging that policies such and land expropriation and National Health Insurance could force some caucasian citizens to flee the country, Juju has made it clear that he’d be all too happy to wave them off at the airport:
“Once you are sheepish and don’t know where you stand, whites will play with you. They must stop threatening us that white people will leave. They can leave if they want. There were black people here before Jan van Riebeck arrived in 1652 and found black people here.” | Julius Malema
