MALEMA vs ZUMA

Malima on Thursday severely disapprove President Jacob zuma reporting R203m upgrade in his nkanhla home in KwaZulu-Natal. This is perceived as stealing and is not right, Malema told striking mineworkers in Virginia Free State.

He said they want to give you R16000 and give R250m to another man to build his house. Malema was addressing a group at the meloding stadium, where women and children were among the striking mineworkers who came to hear him talk.

He asked Zuma’s three home in Durban, Cape Town and Johannesburg, which is maintained by the state, could not be used for international visitors. Who can go to Nkanhla of all places? There is no wisdom and there’s nothing to learn unless it’s about culture aspect, said Malema.

Malema told miners that Zuma does have not respect to country’s constitution, and how can Zuma tell mineworkers to respect country’s constitution while he does not respect it.

He also referred to the recent constitutional court judgment that found invalid appointment at Menzi Simelane as national director of public prosecution.   

 
In reading the unanimous judgment, Judge Zak Yacoob said the court reached a number of legal conclusions, including that the NDPP's appointment was not a matter to be determined by the subjective opinion of the president.Malema told the miners Zuma hired Simelane against the guidelines required by the Constitution. It was Zuma's responsibility to protect the Constitution, yet he ignored it.

Malema told the miners that their struggle was his struggle. He also urged the community to stand by the striking workers.
