Whether he missed Jerm’s joke completely or just really didn’t like it, the EFF leader reacted with outrage.
EFF leader Julius Malema took to Twitter to react angrily to a tweet from cartoonist Jeremy “Jerm” Nell, in which he joked about using his “privilege” to buy groceries. “I used my privilege to get groceries yesterday. Didn’t need money. It was amazing. I just told the teller that I’m privileged and she gave it all to me. How did you use your privilege?” Nell tweeted.Most reacted to the tweet by assuming Malema had missed the joke completely and was suggesting that under an ANC government white people, or those who are “privileged”, are being given free groceries.
Nell himself assumed the former, responding to the leader of the red berets: “It was a joke, Julius. Nobody gives me groceries for free simply because of my skin colour. I pay for them like everybody else.”
