The commander-in-chief of the Economic Freedom Fighters , Julius Malema, was in fine form yesterday when he gave a post-election press briefing at the party’s headquarters in Braamfontein, Johannesburg. He said if it went according to the capitalist and establishment media’s wishes, Cyril Ramaphosa would have achieved an 80% ANC victory.
“The reality is that despite being presented as the best of the best, Ramaphosa performed worse than Jacob Zuma, meaning that to ordinary people, Ramaphosa is no better than Zuma,” said Malema.
