South Africa’s opposition Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema has slammed his fellow citizens for “fighting to be Negros” by trying to chase away Zimbabweans from their country.
Addressing party delegates at an EFF provincial people’s assembly in Klerksdorp, South Africa on Sunday, Malema warned his compatriots against fighting for jobs by chasing fellow Africans from their country.
He urged them to fight more for the land that is largely occupied by whites in South Africa than the jobs Zimbabweans have.
This comes at a time when several South Africans are accusing foreigners, especially Zimbabweans, of stealing their jobs.
“Today you are fighting with Zimbabweans. You are all fighting to be Negros. You are fighting to work for a white man. You are not fighting for the land,” said the opposition leader.
“All of you, you joined forces together against Zimbabweans. What’s wrong; ‘no they are taking our jobs’. Why, because you want to be workers.
“You don’t want to be the owners of strategic sectors of the economy. All you are fighting for is jobs.
“Who is going to give you these jobs? It’s a white man. You are now fighting to work for a white man and you are proud to work for a white man.”
Malema further stated: “Why should you fight people for jobs? You should fight people for our land…because with our land, we will not be workers. We will be the owners of the land and we will produce for ourselves and for all.
“We are not fighting for the mines. We have never said Zimbabweans are all over here, they are owning the banks. We South Africans are not owning the banks. No one is saying that.
“Oh, Dudula, Dudula what’s wrong, ‘they are taking our jobs’. And you think you have made a very powerful political statement by saying they are taking jobs. Who owns the jobs? It’s a white man.”
Relations between Zimbabwe and South Africa are increasingly deteriorating with some of Cyril Ramaphosa’s government officials having recently made it clear that the Zanu-PF administration is failing its people.
Your next President.

He act like he hates white people while they telling what to do. He’s a sellout. He need to be praised by the foreigners.
The guy is the cause of why a lot of mine closed in SA, because he misleaded the people to demand a higher wages. Come 2024 he’s going to loose a lot of votes.
Watson Nkuna you miss the point tatani
Watson Nkuna this guy is the biggest stooge and idiot on this planet. 💩🌚
Freddie Thompson if you don’t hustle you’ll die poor
Watson Nkuna so are saying he’s wrong to promote fair wages?
Certified King i was born poor so i may as well die poor. You cant take anything with you.
He talks a lot of sense
Africans need a round table to discuss as brothers and sisters before we create deadly civil wars.
Lovemore Sidumo ur very much right my brother
he is a good guy..
Wisdom will kill this man
Miza Assan Banda Stupidity will kill you
Nodange Mningiza ,I know you are not at my level of thinking and I will not stoop low to suit you.
When you people were fighting against apartheid, members of the ANC were in exile in most Southern African countries( were you born by then?) Today you are fighting against those that hosted you in your struggle.
What JULIUS MALEMA(may he live long) is saying is true. Why must you fight, stone to death or burn alive a fellow Black man whose country offered you a home during your struggle? You say they are taking up your jobs. The Whites, that you fought and ran away from your own country are the employers, the ones offering those said jobs. Why can’t you fight for land, be productive and employ your fellow Africans from neighbouring countries rather than fighting them to be employed by a White man? Besides, you are Zimbabwean yourself, have you seen who is super dull between you and me?
Miza Assan Banda You don’t know what is happening in South Africa ? or you are brain dead
Nodange Mningiza , I said your thinking is shallow and I will not get to that level
This man’s mentality is afrocentric
Stanley Simbabure correct bro .the only day pple will realize that a white man’s mentality is also eurocentric they will continue praising that malema guy ..
Chokwadi
Black South Africans should own their land
Aagh who cares about that idiot, he is just a fool who no is trying so damn hard to be taken seriously,I fill sorry for his dumb followers.
They are doing what they know best. Black on black hate as always
Malema is an over seeyer.. above all we sees ahead he is a prophet
Africa for Africans .

Malena is a zanu supporter he has indirectly contributed to the situation here
Mat Khumalo shame on you read betwn the lines. There is alot of sense in malemas words. Though I don’t wish to set my foot on SA soul
Mat Khumalo that’s nonsense. Stop betraying your stupidity. He’s a ZANU PF but at the right direction, which means ZANU PF is right!!! Because I don’t see anything wrong with Malema, he always right in every corner of Africa. We don’t want to be fooled by white people in our continent. Enough it’s enough. Africa Unity is the only way to go. Those who doesn’t want to do so will be forced to leave Africa to America to be with their masters.
Bitter truth
It’s so sad how black consciousness has become a rarity in Africa. Ignorance makes a black South African think he is better than someone from Lesotho. People who speak the same language as you. They share the same culture and history as you. Eve their language is the same.
The way I see it, xenophobia is sponsored by westerners. Their divide and rule tactics are still at work. They love black on black violence.
Tefo Ndlovu You practising all sorts of crime here , you killing people , human traffickers, armed robberies , selling drugs, illegal mining you expect us to clap hands for you and that will never happen you ran away from your countries to vandalise everything that is meant for South Africa
Tefo Ndlovu Crime has been part of South African culture even before the influx of foreigners! South Africans like passing on the buck!
Tefo Ndlovu They should have discarded the education of servitude at independence. We can’t grow food even if we had the land. We are just cońsumers who do not produce. That has never been sustainable. Our elite, who cannot see beyond their appetites, are on the other side of town.
Nodange Mningiza I only go to South Africa when I have money to spend. As a Motswana of Botswana I feel comfortable in my own country. South Africa since I was born has always been unsafe. During apartheid your Botha used to bomb people’s homes in Botswana. The suffering of blacks there made you all so angry. You’re sick and in need of serious therapy. I don’t think you’re xenophobic people. Black people are loving people. Your’s is just a condition which has to be attended to. If I wasn’t vulnerable foreigners in your country, you’ll be killing each other. It’s not just you guys. Black on Black violence is there in all the African countries which had apartheid. That’s what almost happened in the late 80s. Tribes where in the verge of civil war. In Rwanda it was the Hutu’s and Tutsi’. It’s there in all the African countries. It’s all coming from colonialism.
Pule Senatla Eish! Bra yaka, you can say that again. ‘Our elites ‘ are sellouts. What really shocked me was the Marikana case. Even up to now, no arrests or anything has been done on the matter. People were killed by the capitalists for crying for a better pay. And the government of the day chose to look the other way. It’s so sad.
Tefo Ndlovu u should educate this guys more am following yo comments yu a on point bro give them education so they stop

Tell them nothing but the truth though they hate it.
Causemore Hwicho And you hate to fix your country
Nodange Mningiza you think you fixed yours and alone on that matter hahahaha . Revisit your history.
Causemore Hwicho we’re not a burden in foreign countries like your Zimbabweans.
Nodange Mningiza revisit your history we had hotels and pub places bombed your very sacred white guys during umkonto wesizwe right here in Zim. We played homage to those who sort exile from apartheid regime. We are doing everything possible here to fight the system and what do your leaders do Mbeki came to rubber stamp rigged election and called it free and fair and the whole world were made to believe it. Which African nation consume your industrial products Thats why our instability gives your an advantage. Why did you gave our citizens those unique visas the very first of its kind. Yet your leaders had declared no criss in Zim. Food for thought
Causemore Hwicho Stop telling us about umkhonto wesizwe we know nothing about that
Nodange Mningiza kkkk I hope you are not angry it’s a discussion. You seem not to know a lot anyway
Causemore Hwicho You can tell us Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi the real hero of the struggle
Nodange Mningiza kkkk yaah bye
The fight is about people coming home to vote
Malema we are not pawns
Zimbabwe for Zimbabweans
South Africa for South Africans
