What you need to do to earn Malema’s respect
Contrary to popular belief, you don't have to hate white people to earn Malema's respect.
EFF leader Julius Malema is pictured addressing a press briefing at the party’s head office in Braamfontein, Johannesburg 14 February 2017.

Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema hardly talks about individuals who have done something impressive, apart from his gorgeous wife, who he has nothing but good things to say about.
In a video Malema has shared, he explains what someone needs to do to earn his respect.
“… and I find you standing up to a white man, I’ll go around talking about you. People who are not scared of white people, I respect them. You don’t have to stand up to them because they’re white, you stand up to them because they want to display white supremacy,” he said.

Malema’s comments come after Lebohang Mabuya bravely stood up to a white man who verbally abused her at Spur on Sunday.
She stood up to him after he grabbed her child “in an aggressive manner”.
In a statement, Spur said: “We have reviewed our CCTV footage of the incident and can confirm that Ms Mabuya’s version of events is accurate.
“We affirm our decision to ban the male customer from our stores. Physical aggression towards our customers‚ particularly against women and children, will not be tolerated.”
Spur CEO Pierre van Tonder also said they planned to offer Mabuya and her family trauma counselling and any other support where possible.
