EFF leader Julius Malema has defended his perceived extravagant lifestyle despite a politician who claims to be fighting for the poor.
'Didn’t Fidel Castro have a swimming pool?' Malema asked on Friday.Malema addressed the criticism against him over wearing luxurious clothing and owning houses during an engagement with the media on Friday.
“Didn’t Fidel Castro have a swimming pool? Didn’t Fidel Castro have a Rolex watch? The former president of Venezuela Hugo Chávez was a good dresser of note, a man of style.“But if you compare Chavez with Malema, to Malema’s haters, Chavez is a revolutionary. There’s nothing that I’m doing different from Chavez. Who said Chavez didn’t have a pool,” he told reporters., Malema made headlines for wearing a R21 000 jacket from Italian brand, Moncler, sparking a socialism debate on social media.
“There was a case opened by the former of intelligence Fraser. now have to go and say we decline to prosecute so that we can prosecute him privately. There’s a case number and all kinds of evidence was presented by Fraser,” he said.Malema asserted that neither a bogus Hawks officer nor anyone else had approached him or EFF deputy president Floyd Shivambu regarding VBS.
“Not a single law enforcement officer has never even sent an SMS to ask us about VBS – including those fraud Hawks officers who say ‘I’m so and so from the Hawks, there is a case but we can close it if you send this much money’. Not even a fake call,” Malema remarked.Last year, Parliament’s joint committee on ethics and members’ interests did not make any findings against Malema on the allegations of a breach of the ethics code.
