malema

Malema seems to confirm a favourite white and foreign interpretation of South Africa: the country as a colour war waiting to happen.

Ask her about the South African economy and she first will volunteer that Julius Malema does not speak for her.

Reading from a statement, Julius Malema said there were always signs that the decision was to suspend the ANC Youth League leadership.

For once I agree with Malema (much to my own suprise) the Chinese are consumers and takers of note and give very little back.

And yet Mr Malema is a fighter who still has a lot of powerful friends on high.

For Landman, the relative calm in the aftermath of the Malema affair reflects the reality of the new South Africa.

The actions of 29-year-old Julius Malema set off a month of soul-searching over whether South Africa can ever be a post-racial society.

Last week, Mr Malema was suspended from the ANC for bringing the party into disrepute.

It has had leaders more charismatic than Malema.

Malema is is so negative: business is business.

Land reform has been progressing too slowly, Mr Malema says. It is time to abolish the "willing buyer, willing seller" principle.

In fact, Malema's calls for nationalisation irritate Comrade Zuma.

Atleast Malema is not a complete idiot - he knows the Chinese dont give a damn about Africa beyond mineral interests.

Nor do South African blacks now seem keen on Malema.

The comments Malema makes is right in my opinion- why do they have to bring there people.

"That is, " he says, "if the Malema debacle doesn't scare people away. "
