Julius Malema takes President Ramaphosa head-on: “He Is Killing Us”
Julius Malema is a leader who is very decisive. EFF is blessed to have him as CIC. However, it seems as if he is probably our generation’s most important political figure. Stratcom has been trying to bury him week in week out. Stratcom really thinks it will turn the masses against him.
This comes after the Minister of Health was placed on special leave by the President following cases of corruption. Here are some of the points raised by Malema:
- South Africa continues its accelerated path into socioeconomic collapse under the leadership of both Cyril Ramaphosa and the ANC
- No other generation has witnessed so much death and sickness than our own. The pandemic is taking breadwinners, shutting down businesses, increasing unemployment and interrupting schooling.
- The majority of the frontline workers, particularly those who were working under Level 5 Lockdown like the police, security guards, taxi and bus drivers, petrol attendants, retail workers and cleaners have not been vaccinated.
- The desperation to only use Western produced vaccines to the exclusion of the Chinese and Russian vaccines have resulted in countless delays of purchases from J&J.
- There is no reason to force contact learning because already there are rising infections amongst young people and children, which are disrupting schools. To ensure a fast move beyond the Third Wave, schools must be closed.
