Sharing his thoughts on the ANC succession race – EFF leader Julius Malema said he believed that Ramaphosa would take the country to ‘sophisticated capturers.’
“CR17 will take the country to the sophisticated capturers like the arrogant and white supremacist Ruperts and Oppenheimers and NDZ17 will continue hubby’s legacy of mediocre capturers like Indian supremacist Guptas. Different sides of the same coin,” he tweeted.
Malema also weighed in on the judiciary and the lack of support offered to the courts by Dlamini-Zuma and Ramaphosa.
By the way both candidates did not come to the defense of our judiciary after it was attacked by their comrades and they claim to represent the good future of our democracy.
