In a report published on July 11, Jacques Dommisse, an investigative reporter of News24, reports that he wanted to have a comment from Julius Malema on his recent “three-day frolic with five friends at the ‘colonial’ and ultra-luxurious five-star Malewane” for which Malema “paid R78,000 in cash” (the equivalent of about $11,300) for the whole group.

Dommisse also wanted to have Malema comment on “reports that he has also recently enjoyed a fine holiday in Italy and that he has flattened a R3.6m Bedfordview home to build another one” (the market value of Malema’s home in the posh Johannesburg neighborhood is worth the equivalent of $523,888 dollars).

Dommisse couldn’t get Malema on the phone, but it was ANC Youth League Spokesman Floyd Shivambu who picked up the phone. And here’s what transpired.

“Transcript of phone conversation between reporter Jacques Dommisse (JD) and ANCYL Floyd Shivambu (FS) requesting comment from Malema:

JD: So, why did you put the phone down?

FS: Hey?

JD: Why did you put the phone down?

FS: Hey man. You are doing a wild goose chase. I say that if you want to go ahead and write, go ahead and write because he won't speak to you. It never happened, okay? He [Malema] doesn’t want to talk to you.

JD: Why will you not let me speak to Malema?

FS: I said he doesn’t want to. Why must he speak to you? He has no obligation to speak to you.

JD: Because he is a politician.

FS: Yes, but I said no. You cannot force people to speak to you.

JD: I don’t understand?

FS: He will not speak to you. You cannot force someone to speak to you if they do not want to speak to you. He does not want to speak to you. I have just spoken to him.

JD: How do you know he doesn’t want to speak to me?

FS: Because I just spoke to him now.

JD: How do you mean you have just spoken with him? I don’t understand.

FS: Fuck you.

JD: Say again?

FS: I said: ‘Fuck you’

JD: Are you swearing at me?

FS: Yes.

JD: Why are you doing that?

FS: What is your problem?

JD: I have no problem.

FS: Fuck you. Fuck off, ok.

JD: Oh, so you now said it for the fourth time?

FS: Yes.

JD: Can you please give me a contact number for Julius Malema?

FS: I don’t want.

JD: Ok. Thank you. Goodbye.”

Batshit insane: America, “You bloodthirsty imperialists” (Julius Malema aka JuJu)

Julius Malema aka JuJu

President

ANC Youth League (ANCYL)

There’s a batshit crazy young post-apartheid black politician on the loose in South Africa. His name is Julius Malema.  At thirty years of age, he is the president of the ruling ANC party Youth League (ANCYL). His mischiefs—mostly, words  verging on hate speech sputtered at the minority white South-African citizens—are so numerous people have all but given up counting them—or trying to correct the falsehoods they contain.

Malema seems afflicted with bad temper disorder in his dealings with white people. BBC journalist Jonah Fisher had a firsthand experience of Malema’s mercurial temper in August 2010 when he had the bad idea of contradicting the ANCYL president at a press conference held at Chief Albert Luthuli House, the ANC headquarters in Johannesburg, during which Malema was lashing out at the Zimbabwean opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai.   

A seething Julius Malema kicked Fisher out of the press conference room, telling him:

“Here you behave or else you jump. Don't come here with that white tendency, go out bastard, bloody agent. (…)This is not a playground. This is not a beerhall. Don't abuse us in our own space, in our own house... this is my house.”

Malema’s latest mischief happened today, Wednesday, July 6, when he spoke to a throng of about 300 striking members of the National Union of Metal Workers of South Africa (NUMSA), armed with “knobkerries” (bats) and blowing “vuvuzuelas,” who took time from their picket lines to protest against NATO bombing campaign in Libya outside the US embassy in Pretoria.  

Some of the protesters carried banners that read: “Mrs. Obama stop kissing South African babies while your husband is bombing Libyan children.”

Then, Julius Malema spoke to the crowd:

“We want to ask a simple question to the imperialists. Are you not tired of seeing blood every year? You blood thirsty imperialists... Every year you are bombing this or that nation, because of your thirstiness for blood. We should all agree that South Africa should not have voted for the resolution...  They (the United States) can't think. They don't know politics.”

Fearing to be outdone by Julius Malema, Phil Bokapa, NUMSA deputy president, threw more red meat at the crowd, calling President Obama a white man in a black man’s body!

The Economist recently broached a disquieting future prospect of whom it called “malignant Malema” on the occasion of his “triumphant re-election unopposed as leader of the powerful Youth League of the ruling National Congress (ANC)” that had “South Africans (…) beginning to wonder whether they have not spawned a ‘dictator-in-waiting’, as Helen Zille, leader of the Democratic Alliance, the main opposition party, has dubbed him.”

Adding:

“Young JuJu, as he is familiarly known, has the wind in his sails. His ego is huge. He is tough, clever and has a disarming cheeky grin. Among his heroes, he counts Zimbabwe’s Robert Mugabe, Cuba’s Fidel Castro and Libya’s Muammar Qaddafi. President Jacob Zuma might once have been included in his list but is now the unnamed butt of much of Mr Malema’s stinging criticism about a lack of leadership. Many believe he is now preparing to topple the very man he helped make king. They may be forgetting that the wily Mr Zuma can be ruthless too.”

Let’s just hope that Zuma’s wiliness and ruthlessness would have him take this madman out of the picture sooner than later… before he’s elected one of these days President of the Republic of South Africa by the parliamentarians of the de facto one-party state.
