In case you haven’t noticed, Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema has lost weight and left many wondering how he did it.
His weight loss has earned him body-shaming comments from none other than Minister of Social Development Bathabile Dlamini. Responding to his murmurs in parliament, Dlamini said: “Okay … shut up, you slender for nonsense.”
She later denied body-shaming him, saying she was just happy he lost weight.

Now, one of his Twitter followers, Ramatlama, has shared how he was inspired by Malema’s weight loss. “Because of you I managed to lose weight, December 2016 I was at 96.56kg but today I’m at 85.43kg . Note I’m 29 years,” he tweeted Malema.
Malema shared the tweet with his followers, who in turn asked him for weight-loss tips.
Last year, EFF spokesperson Mbuyiseni Ndlozi responded to comments on Malema’s weight loss and said the CIC was on a diet. He had reportedly exchanged “cooldrinks for cauliflower”.
