Is Julius Malema a threat to peace and stability for SA?

African National Congress (ANC)  spokesperson Jackson Mthembu  warned any ANC leaders who might be contemplating support of the expelled ANC Youth League leader Julius Malema, who faces charges of money-laundering by saying "he is too factious and thinks he is everything. He might support a leader now, but he will do a complete about-face within three years,". But the big question here is that; is Malema a threat to peace and stability of this country? One thing for sure is that this man deserves whatever comes his way because of his discourteous behaviour, especially by targeting the President of the nation, Jacob Zuma. Many people do not agree with Zuma's way of ruling the country, but after all I still think that he needs to be treated with respect. Now, it is the time we as the public must start to question about the nature of Malema's motives, whether it is to bring ANC down and its leaders or advocating for people. But, if if it is advocate for people by fighting the corruption endeavours that officials commit every now and then, why now? Julius Malema has failed us as a nation and there is not way he is going to restore his tarnished image to the public. He never cease to amaze, recently he claimed that he is an assassination target and that Zuma wants to kill him. (read more)


NOT AFRAID: Julius Malema claims that he is not
afraid of nonsense or intimidated by anyone.

What does this reflect back to the media and to the public? To me, it feels like he is the biggest threat to the constitution of South Africa. ANC leaders fear for their lives, because of Malema's convictions. This is like the officials are faced with a dilemma and have no way to walk out or try to let Malema down. So I ask again, can he mobilise support against the state? The irony of his imminent arrest is not lost on the nonpartisan, although allegations of corruption may catapult one to the presidency of the ANC and of the country. While the nonpartisan can be found on both sides of the Malema argument, the partisan come in two varieties. There are those who believe that the president and his lieutenants are using state institutions against political enemies. The second variety does not need evidence of Malema’s guilt. I am of the variety that is convinced that some manipulation of state institutions did occur in the last few years leading up to the installation of Zuma as head of state, dethroning Thabo Mbeki.  Zuma had the capacity to mobilise against the state and his political enemies in the ANC. So, does Malema have the same capacity? We’ll see, what do you think?

  1. We dont have to worry about Juju because ANC failed to take actions against him at the beggining so now the only thing that will make him change his attitude is the outcast of J.Zuma as the president of ANC

    1. But for how long the outcast of president's will take place in this country, first it was Thabo Mbeki now Zuma, can't Malema find something nicer to do? Like, go to school, get a college qualification or pick up a book and read so that he would have something captivating to say about politics? Enough is Enough

    1. Yes, with some of his convictions, you would say that he likes to draw public and media attention. I am also certain that some of the things that he says, maybe in two weeks time he forget what he said unless reminded by the media controversy about questioning the natyure of his convictions

  3. Malema has a big infleunce on alot of the youth why i don't because really he does not derserve to be in politics and i feel that the charges he is facing are true because the way he spends money shows that he is quilty i just that the evidence will be there to prove to the youth that they should thin about th politics they vote for

  4. Malema is a loud mouth and always seems to cause trouble. Yes, we understand that he wants to voice his opinions on matters he feels strong about, but sometimes he over steps the line honestly speaking. This man has mastered the art of persuasion, and can influence any crowd, he needs to be monitored on what he says.

  5. When it comes to Malema I just do not know what to say. All I can say is if Malema becomes the president of this country a lot of people will suffer .yes he is one out spoken leader but the way he does things is totally wrong.

    1. He wants to devide the nation from unity and demolish the reconciliation between different races. He is too much stereotyped

  7. most definetly Julius Malema is a man who speaks his mind without fear and I believ he has the same capacity to mobilse against those who come against him.
