EFF leader Julius Malema has sent a stern warning to South Africans not to attend church services, describing them as “a trap”.
Addressing an online media briefing on Thursday, the leader of the red berets encouraged people to pray in the comfort of their own homes, noting that their health would be at risk if they decided otherwise.“We would like to make a plea to religious leaders not to open their churches. We call upon religious leaders not to connive with white capital and risk our people’s lives,” Malema said.
Other congregants who attended the church service at the Divine Restoration Ministries on March 10 and 11, were also infected. He slammed those who attacked her, explaining that her dislike for cigarettes was not prompted by the pandemic as she had always been against smoking. He suggested that South Africa would be better off without cigarettes.
