Julius Malema hits back after Trump demands his arrest
Trump questioned why authorities hadn’t taken action against Julius Malema, accusing him of inciting violence…
EFF leader Julius Malema grabbed international attention on Wednesday when his name came up during a high-profile Oval Office meeting between US leader Donald Trump and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, prompting a swift response from Malema himself.
During the highly anticipated meeting, Trump caught Ramaphosa off guard by showing a montage of video clips of Malema singing the song “Kill the Boer.”
Julius Malema is not worried by Trump
The US leader intensified the pressure on Ramaphosa by claiming that a genocide was underway against white people, forcing farmers to flee to the United States.
As the clips played, Ramaphosa often looked cornered and visibly uncomfortable, struggling to respond.
He even had to ask Minister of Agriculture John Steenhuisen for assistance at one point.
After the clips were played, Trump asked Ramaphosa if he would arrest Julius Malema for his song.
“Why won’t you arrest that man? That man said ‘kill the white farmers’ and then he danced and he’s dancing dancing.”
After the meeting, Julius Malema quickly issued a response on social media.
“A group of older men meet in Washington to gossip about me. No significant amount of intelligence evidence has been produced about white genocide. We will not agree to compromise our political principles on land expropriation without compensation for political expediency,” he said on X.
