Malema says ‘Ya neh’ to white guy calling him a ‘f**king ape’
The foul-mouthed young man allegedly told the EFF leader he would shoot him dead one day, but if he didn't then Donald Trump surely would.

Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema was left in apparent shock on Monday after receiving a racist and insulting comment on one of his old pictures on Instagram.
He posted a screenshot of an old picture of himself with football superstar Lionel Messi at FNB Stadium during the friendly between Mamelodi Sundowns and Spanish giants FC Barcelona that was played last year and which he had captioned: “For the love of Madiba.”
The friendly was played in great spirit as a trophy statue of Nelson Mandela was handed to the victorious visitors post-match.
However, Instagram user Gavin du Preez, aka your_boii_gavii, was so unimpressed with the EFF leader that he decided to tell him exactly where to get off on that Messi post.
In his comment, he called Malema a “racist” and vowed to “f*ck him up”, claiming that, should he fail to do it, US President Donald Trump would do it for him.
He said: “Your mother’s p**s, I will shoot you dead one day you f**king racist you must watch out because if I find you you will sh*t you f**king ape, and you can try to kill all us white people, you won’t get it right because there are many more white people in the world than black and guess what if it won’t be me who f**ks you up it will be Donald Trump so you better watch out c*nt your days are numbered.”
The EFF leader rarely responds to racist threats on social media, However, this time he shared screenshots of the comments and said: “Ya neh”.

Gavin du Preez has since locked his Instagram account.
Though Malema’s followers were furious, many advised him not to pay attention to the man, calling him a “small boy” who liked to hide behind aggressive social media posts.
