South African party leader says 'Whites to work for Blacks', blasted for racism
“I don’t want blacks to work for whites. I want you to work for yourselves and white people will work for you. That will be true freedom”, said Malema, President of the leftist Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), South Africa’s third largest political party.
The South African leader has twice been sued over inciting hate and violence against whites, prompting his expulsion from the African National Congress back in 2012, and shortly thereafter he and allies founded the EFF party.
Notably, one of those who expressed dissatisfaction over Malema’s rhetoric is among others Andile Mngxitama, president of the Black First Land First Party, suggesting that the stance is too ambiguous and not clear-cut enough.
“Our Parliament, while it looks black, is controlled by white money and can’t make laws to serve our interest. Why?” – he asked emotionally appearing in a talk show on RT, adding further:
“We want to end the system which is constructed today of white people on top, oppressing and exploiting black people”.
“We construct a new society which takes care of black people without oppressing white people. In fact, white people can even leave if they want to!” Mngxitama argued. Under the current system, however, “I own nothing… We can’t even make laws that say we must take the land”.
Political analyst Josh Notelovitz meanwhile has strongly denounced the EFF leader’s “negative intentions toward white people”, calling out Malema of creating “this sort of clash between races in South Africa in order to gain petty political points”.
I was shocked to hear people like @ThuliMadonsela3 saying Julius Malema will bring a better future for South Africa,we all know for a fact that Julius Malema will only bring genocide, lawlessness,suspension of the constitution,Most importantly he will bring misery.

The racial debate has long since moved online, with Twitterians increasingly posting videos and pictures on leadership, the distribution of power in South African society and other related questions, attracting an array of comments from both whites and blacks.
One of the latest viral videos on the subject was posted by the EFF showing two black women standing by a rubbish bin, throwing papers out of it that a white teenager has just discarded there, prompting him to return and do it again and again.
