EFF leader Julius Malema reached peace and racial harmony in Phoenix, Durban on Saturday while he monitored the voter registration process.
Upon getting into the hall, he exchanged few words with the presiding officers who told him that the registration process was going well, people were streaming in, signed the register and left.
Speaking specifically about Phoenix, Malema said the suburb is home to every South African irrespective of his or her race and said it was the home of the EFF. He scoffed at widespread accusations on several Phoenix social media groups that he chose the suburb just to stoke tensions.“Innocent people lost life here in Phoenix but that must not be attributed to every Indian you come across because to do that amounts to self-hate, there are a lot of Indians who are against that, who were against that,” Malema said.
