Why we all need friends like Julius Malema

Julius Malema

I was a little late to the Julius Malema train but trust me to catch on fast enough. And thank God for YouTube, because I finally watched the full passionate speech by the very expressive and brave South Africa’s Economic Freedom Fighter’s party leader.

And while his speech, made during Winnie’s funeral, was transformed into memes and social media fun, there was a lot to ponder in his words. He was castigating the people who sold out Winnie Mandela yet were among the mourners who were very sad.
