Malema incites violence against farmers and praises idol Mugabe

Last night Julius Malema leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) remarked about how Zimbabweans are “better off” than their South African Counterparts. While addressing thousands of people in Limpopo Malema praised the way his mentor Robert Mugabe seized the land from white farmers. Malema admitted that although the economy was left in tatters, the people of Zimbabwe are free and potentially in a stronger position.
What Malema is doing is describing his hatred of white farmers. Last year during September 2015 Malema delivered a speech at a press club in Cape Town and sharply criticized the past attempts and failures of the African National Congress (ANC) on land reform.

At this meeting, Malema recited the song about how white people stole the land and said no compensation would be forthcoming. Malema told his audience that the White people did not pay for the land but committed black genocide and that the black people who survived the onslaught were transformed into slaves. Malema again told the white people to hand over the land.

In November last year The Pan-Africanists and Black Consciousness movement slated Malema and the ANC as selling out their people. In a statement, this group said Malema openly engaged leaders of the white agricultural sector in the Western Cape and had assured the whites that their interests in the land would be secured and intact.

At another meeting held at Oxford University, Malema referred to the Freedom Charter as the bible of the South African revolution and that there would be no deviation from that. At that meeting, Malema openly rejected the revolutionary process of land reform in Zimbabwe.
Since Malema is hoping to achieve a resounding success in the upcoming local elections to be held on August 3, his speeches are lacking consistency. By proclaiming the manner in which Zimbabwe seized the land is setting the stage for anarchy and inciting violence against South African Farmers.
