The sender of the message did not answer their phone when The Citizen called.
In a subsequent post, Malema shared a video of a white man shouting at him in Afrikaans and calling his more expletives.
“You are going to die,” the man shouts, among other threats and insults.

The EFF was not immediately available for comment on whether they were laying any criminal charges based on the posts and threats.
On Tuesday, the EFF leader tweeted a screenshot of message he supposedly received on Instagram, from user named Devon Meiring, where his life was being threatened. The message read: “Yusis bud can’t wait for someone to put a bullet in your fat head.”
