According to Economic Freedom Fighters’ president Julius Malema, blacks are illiterates, unemployed, plagued by drug abuse and, are dying because of the evils of White South Africans. The EFF leader was speaking at his party’s memorial service in honour of the late famous Cuban leader, Fidel Castro when he made the assertion.<\/p>\n

He declared whites the devil troubling black South Africans saying they have destroyed the lives of black people in the country. Malema also charged whites to return what they stole from blacks and save the country unnecessary unrest.<\/p>\n

The EFF leader was quoted to have said: “One day we’re going to have an outburst. We’re unemployed because of them. We’re dying of diseases because of them. We’re illiterate because of them. We’ve surrendered to drugs because of you. You owe us a lot.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The EFF commander-in-chief thereafter praised late Fidel Castro for the role he played in liberating Mzansi saying: “If it was not because of Fidel Castro, most African countries were not going to be liberated. It was the people of Cuba who deliberately came to help African people to liberate themselves.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Also, the black-dominated party rejected the Commonwealth saying it will not form part of Parliament’s delegation to the 62nd Commonwealth Parliamentary Conference for 2016 in London. To the EFF, the Commonwealth is an association convened by the British Monarchy.<\/p>\n

The party argued that the British Monarchy, instead of taking full responsibility for its crimes of genocide, colonization, and anti-black racism, has continued to express influence over its former colonies through the Commonwealth.<\/p>\n

“The British monarchy must not enjoy the world’s recognition taken the pain it has caused across the world through the brutal crime of colonization. (It) should be ashamed of itself…<\/p>\n

“The wealth and benefits of colonialism are still found in Britain and many free nations attend the commonwealth programs to continue to salute and normalize the evil monarchy and its queen who even has the audacity to give keynote addresses,” stated the EFF.<\/p>\n

With that, the Fighters called on the African continent and all other former British colonies to reject the British monarchy by refusing to be convened by it in the Commonwealth.<\/p>\n

In a recent development,\u00a0Malema has called for the arrest of former president Jacob Zuma\u2019s son,\u00a0Duduzane, adding he must be denied bail because he\u2019s a flight risk. According to the EFF leader, Zuma junior has been implicated in the state capture and he must be brought to book.<\/p>\n

He accused the former President’s son of stealing the country\u2019s resources with impunity and emphasized that Zuma’s son is not a citizen of South Africa. In his statement, Malema said: “Zuma\u2019s son, born in Mozambique, is running away from South Africa authorities. There is nothing xenophobic about that. He was born in Mozambique, he has been in Zimbabwe and Swaziland and has now applied for citizenship in Dubai.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Malema, a highly controversial South African leader, is popular for his fearless and blunt speeches. While some, including ex-president Jacob Zuma, describes him as the future leader of South Africa, others who find him less favorable portray him as a “reckless populist” with the potential to destabilize the country and to spark racial conflict.<\/sup><\/p>\n
