Malema’s graduation in pics and videos

Congratulations to the CiC! Now we wait for the people's bae to share his day with South Africans.


EFF leader Julius Malema graduated with a bachelor of arts honours in philosophy at the University of South Africa (Unisa) on Wednesday night, and EFF MPs did not hold back from celebrating with him.

In pictures that have been circulating on social media, EFF leaders attended the ceremony in their red berets and their own graduation gowns. It seems Dali Mpofu decided to attend his son’s album launch, as he is nowhere to be seen in Malema’s graduation pictures. His wife, Mantwa, and grandmother were also in attendance.

The EFF leader also obtainedΒ his bachelor of arts degree with Unisa in 2016, and said at the time he planned on continuing with a postgraduate degree.

β€œLearning goes on. It doesn’t stop, especially when you don’t do it for job purposes, but you do it for accumulation of knowledge and better understanding of issues which are raised academically and politically,” he said at the time.

The EFF said Malema’s pursuit of education demonstrated great patience, perseverance and strength of will.

β€œWe salute the CIC and call upon all young people of South Africa to emulate his example. Value education against all the odds, and never compromise in the struggle for free education for all,” it said.
