Julius Malema: ‘Trump is the most illiterate president – even Zuma did better’
Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema lashed out at U.S. President Donald Trump, branding him as illiterate.
EFF leader Julius Malema has renewed his criticism of US President Donald Trump, this time labelling him as “illiterate” during a speech at Zinniaville Sports Ground in Rustenburg.
Malema’s remarks follow the US government’s decision to cut financial aid to South Africa in February. Tensions between the two nations escalated after Trump accused South Africa of seizing land from white farmers and carrying out genocide, an inflammatory claim he cited as his reason for not attending the recent G20 Summit in Johannesburg.
Malema slams Trump for his ‘illiteracy’
“Comrades, go na le monna o mongwe ka mo, bare ke [there is a certain man named] Donald Trump. The most illiterate president. Even Zuma was better than Donald Trump… America is an enemy of Africa,” said Malema.
“They don’t want stability in Africa. They don’t want any African leader who speaks for Africans. DRC has never known peace since the discovery of minerals in that particular country, because America wants to undermine the people of DRC.
“So, fighters, we want to make sure we expropriate land and give it to you, the people of Rustenburg, the people of Madibeng, the People of North West.”
Last month, Malema described Trump as delusional after the US president imposed tariffs.
