Julius Malema, leader of South Africa's Economic Freedom Fighters, is one of the most notable political figures of the recent decade. He has shaped and continues to shape the political outlines of South Africa more than anybody else, and he has even offered his voice to the African continent as a whole, speaking out against Western dominance. Despite his poor academic achievement and controversial personality, Julius Malema, the fiery leader of South Africa's second-largest opposition party, has become a symbol of triumph for his legions of admirers. He has demonstrated himself to be an exceptional leader who is not hesitant to speak his opinions, even if it is unfavourable to others. In this video, we'll look at why Julius Malema is the right leader for Africa.
Malema is renowned as South Africa's firebrand youth leader, which is shown in his belief in the cause, his unashamedly incendiary words, and the punch of his vocabulary. He once told TRT World's Crossing The Line show, “We are not Mandela and we are not going to do Mandela things here. We are going to do our own things now. And this will benefit our children,” His declaration represents a policy shift that his five-year-old party, South Africa's far-left Economic Freedom Fighters, is striving to implement after 24 years of control by the African National Congress. Their organisation, which purports to fight up for regular people's rights, is perceived as a breath of new air by some and as plain fascist by others.
The "son of the soil," as his Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) have dubbed him, has spent the last six years transforming the party he established into a disciplined force that has set the agenda in some policy areas. Many assumed he would vanish after being ousted from the ANC in 2012. Malema himself believed he had "finished politically." Instead, he consolidated, expanding his base and founding the far-left Economic Freedom Fighters, a party that has gained grassroots support in recent years.
The EFF's commander-in-chief's constant focus on inequality in South Africa, as well as the ANC's inability to shift land from the white minority to the black majority, has cost his previous party, which spearheaded the fight against apartheid, support. Mr Malema was the first politician to visit the Lonmin-owned platinum mine, casting himself as a defender of underprivileged employees and forming the EFF in 2013, with a commitment to nationalise important sectors of the economy such as mining and banks.
