We Won’t Observe Covid-19 Regulations On Campaign Trail, Says Defiant Malema

Julius Malema, LEADER of the EFF has alleged that South African’s President Cyril Ramaphosa has hidden in rand undeclared money in his other properties other than Phala Phala farm.

Addressing some party students faithful at the 4th Students Assembly held in Birchwood, Boksburg, on Saturday, the outspoken leader accused President Cyril Ramaphosa  of keeping billion of money.

“There are millions more that is being kept under mattresses in other residences. There is still Soweto. There is still Venda. There is still Cape Town and there is still Mpumalanga where monies are stored under mattresses.

We asked the question in Parliament how much is left in these properties because we are talking about one property. All these properties have got money stored,” Malema said.

According to Malema, the ANC party is full of dishonest people who continue to protect Ramaphosa even after they failed to pay ANC workers salaries.

Mr Julius Malema opined that instead of keeping the billions, Ramaphosa could have used the money to pay off the salaries of the ANC workers which has been delayed since some part of 2021.

“To show that the ANC is constituted by sick people they still call such a person their president while they were starving for six months last year as the workers have been working with no salary. Cyril’s conscience does not even say let me take a bit here for the ANC and find a way of giving them a salary …we are talking about billions. He does not have sympathy for those workers who work for his party while he is sleeping on top of billions,” he said.

Over the past few weeks there have calls for President Cryil Ramaphosa to resign amidst growing number of demonstrations.

Meanwhile, EFF leader has  said the EFF was in consultation with other opposition parties to bring the country to a standstill with a possible shutdown against Ramaphosa’s failing administration.

“We are in consultation with everyone and we have reached a point where we no longer care. This man must go. We will remove him whether he likes it or not. So when we call for the mother of all shutdowns, every campus must come to a standstill.

Not only students, including workers themselves. We are not going to teach. We are not going to clean. We are not going to manage. We are going to defend South Africa against gangsters because South Africa has been captured by gangsters,” Malema told the students.

Malema Warns Against ANC Denial: Zuma's Vote Won't Save Them

In a press conference held at Moses Mabhida Stadium in KwaZulu-Natal on Friday, the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader, Julius Malema, addressed the recent announcement by former president Jacob Zuma regarding his support for the newly registered party, Umkhonto weSizwe (MK), over the ANC in the upcoming elections.

Malema, acknowledging Zuma’s right to vote for any party of his choosing, expressed disappointment that Zuma had not declared his vote in favor of his own party. “He decides to vote for non-existing things, and that is not going to help us displace the ANC,” Malema remarked.

Zuma had previously stated that supporting MK would help save the ANC from losing power. Malema, however, argued that Zuma was in denial about the ANC’s decline, emphasizing that no one, not even former President Nelson Mandela, could rescue it with “Madiba magic.”

Malema Warns Against ANC Denial: Zuma's Vote Won't Save Them

The EFF leader issued a stern warning to party members, urging them not to participate in any activities planned by MK ahead of the elections. Malema emphasized that the EFF’s constitution explicitly prohibits members from campaigning for or supporting other political parties.

As the ANC’s grip on power weakens, Malema predicts that Zuma’s efforts to save the party will be in vain. Despite Zuma’s political chess moves, Malema remains confident that the ANC is beyond rescue.

The date for the general elections is yet to be announced by President Cyril Ramaphosa, while Malema announced that the EFF is preparing to launch its manifesto in KwaZulu-Natal next month.

Ramaphosa, Xi Jinping Call For End Of War In Ukraine

President Cyril Ramaphosa and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping have expressed concern about the situation in Ukraine and called for an end to the conflict.

This follows a telephone discussion between Xi and Ramaphosa on Friday.

Xi is the alternate leader that Ramaphosa has verified he has spoken to after the conflict erupted in Ukraine.

A week ago he took a call from Russian chairman Vladimir Putin, and during the question and answer session in the public council this week, Ramaphosa said Putin had emphasised the issue of accommodations to chancing a result.

On Friday he said he’d held analogous addresses with Xi. The chairman also said this week he’d been asked to intervene in Ukraine.

He called for an end to the conflict, saying durable peace was demanded in Ukraine. Ramaphosa had said it would be wrong to simply condemn one side and prompted both parties to come to the negotiating table.

The UN Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, has also been prompted to play a commanding part in ending the conflict. Ramaphosa this week also called for the reform of the UN Security Council.

Ramaphosa said it was wrong that for a mainland like Africa, with a population of1.3 billion people, it doesn’t have a endless seat in the security council.

President Cyril Ramaphosa Tests Positive For Covid-19

President Cyril Ramaphosa has called for the intervention of the UN Security Council in the conflict in Ukraine, saying it was not necessary for people to be killed when there was an option of engagement.

Ramaphosa told a litigation forum on Friday that the UN had to intervene to stop the war in the Ukraine.

Russia launched attacks on Ukraine this week.

But it has been condemned by Western countries who have also sent thousands of troops on the eastern flank in Europe.

Ramaphosa said the UN cannot keep quiet when there were options available to stop the conflict.

He said through negotiation, mediation and engagement what is going on in Ukraine could be stopped.

He said people have been killed and infrastructure damaged.

“This mediation approach seems to be losing its effectiveness. We can see now the war that is going on in the Ukraine, I would say that that conflict is a conflict that should be subjected to mediation, to negotiation, to engagement, because it is not necessary for people to go to war, for getting people killed, infrastructure being damaged as it is now, and it behoves on countries of the world, particularly the UN Security Council.

“They are the ones who should be getting more and more engaged in a mediation and one does not see that happening. One does not see that full engagement, and it is this that should be happening to bring hostilities to an end,” said Ramaphosa.
