A DAY on the campaign trail with fiery ANC Youth League president Julius Malema reveals him to be politically shrewd, deliberately provocative and a lover of fine designer threads.

ANC president Jacob Zuma’s most controversial supporter, often portrayed by his detractors as an arrogant dimwit, showed stamina this week as he went from kings to students in his self-proclaimed role as “decoy” to the ruling party.

The Daily Dispatch met up with him last Friday morning in Hemingway’s Hotel lobby after he’d foregone breakfast because he woke up late in his hotel room.

An hour behind schedule, Malema was dressed rather smartly – considering his day’s itinerary – in brown suede Hush Puppies, blue designer jeans, a Louis Vuitton (LV) belt with a gold “LV” on the buckle, a Paul Smith brown lumber jacket, a fashionable blue and white Polo shirt, a brown LV cap and an LV handbag.

As he passed through the hotel lobby, he was followed by a whiff of an oriental fragrance as he ordered his entourage to “move”.

Two large VIP bodyguards were waiting for him at a navy blue Honda Accord. They opened the back door and after taking his seat he checked what was planned for the day ahead.

Three appointments were listed in Malema’s plan to woo young voters, starting with a visit to amaXhosa King Zwelonke Sigcau at the Nqadu Great Place in Willowvale. An afternoon mini-rally followed in Dutywa at JSS Skhenjana Sports Ground, then on to an early evening address to students at Walter Sisulu University in Berlin . Capping the day’s activities would be a private ANCYL party in Beacon Bay.

As the day became uncomfortably hot, Malema replaced his lumber jacket with an ANC reflector jacket on the way to Willowvale. At Nqadu Great Place he got a brown-reddish bull from King Sigcau as a gift. In return, he gave King Sigcau six bottles of brandy and a sheep.

“We want to assure you that the ANC government respects our traditional leaders and they will play a crucial role in Zuma’s government on rural development,” said Malema.

The chubby-cheeked 28-year-old looked deep in thought as he tucked into his chicken and rice lunch and smoked a cigarette afterwards at the Dutywa Hotel on a brief stop before his mini-rally.

In Dutywa, Malema was on a roll, oozing energy that verged on mania as he surveyed the marquee packed with ANC supporters. Hundreds stood on the open field to hear him.

“Those who left for Cope are the same people who killed Chris Hani... The DA (Democratic Alliance) leader Helen Zille is a racist, a colonialist with … a fake face,” he declared.

But he seemed to have saved his best for last when he told about 1000 students at the Berlin campus that his role in the campaign was to “distract” the opposition while Zuma “sprinted to the Union Buildings”.

Ten hours on the campaign trail and Malema is still going strong, telling funny, self-effacing anecdotes about his lack of education.

“People need to understand that the youth league says what Zuma can’t say and can’t be heard saying. For example, if Helen Zille takes on Zuma, saying he is not fit to govern, our task was to occupy her mind with the fact that she’s a racist, colonialist with … a fake face. While she was concentrating on calling me names, thinking she was embarrassing us, Zuma was sprinting to the Union Buildings.”

Malema then rushed off to the ANCYL private function in Beacon Bay where expensive whisky and exquisite food was expected to be served – you would expect nothing less for a man of style like Malema.

Seems politics pays. I had to lol at "self-effacing anecdotes" - you know what they say: if you've got nothing, flaunt it.
 
And you guys are worried about Zuma (and rightly so). I'd be keeping an eye out for this guy, IMO he's got "Black Mini Hitler" written all over him. Not to mention aspirations of Mugabe'ism.

The problem is he's going to be a role model to the younger generations of South Africans.

Look ma, see that guy he didn't finish school and he has everything he ever wanted, including :eek:a cool LV handbag. Wow I want to be like him, he got it all for free! So that's why I did't go to school today...

*nod* Malema is a the epitome of the lack of repercussions, discipline and consequences in our country. Look at the strikes, the buses and trains that get burned. Where are the consequences? Even the doctors are striking - why will they not have their licenses revoked? Aren't they endangering lives? But no, the government will cave in and later on their asses will itch again and they'll strike - rinse, repeat. There are no consequences, there is no discipline.

When I look at Malema, I just see a fat face suffering from tourettes shouting out what "everyone" thinks. They don't want to improve the country or anyone's lives other than their own - they think, "what about me?"

I think blu said it best in another thread where she said South Africans have an overblown sense of entitlement. So many want the world handed to them without doing anything to deserve it.

"My great, great, great grandfather suffered under apartheid." Baaaah... Grow the **** up because "my great, great, great grandfather worked on a farm and woke up at 04:00 in the morning to work his ass off and then still had to walk ten miles on a dirt road and----" Please, you're not your grandfather, you're not your grandmother, the world doesn't owe you jack squat.

There are Chinese people who suffered under apartheid, who had nothing and they worked their asses off to get their own financial independence - they worked hard.

I agree with Zille - in a democracy you get the government you deserve. You want to believe in that "100% proven" herbal solution to cure erectile dysfunction. You want to believe in that $30,000,000 sweepstake winning from The United Lottery Foundation, e-mail your ID, social security, address, banking details, etc to [email protected]. You're gullible and believe in fantasy, that is why you believe in the ANC who has, over 14 years, PROVEN their "worth."

Look at out telecommunications and how far behind the "real world" we are! Look at our technology industry... Wait, wazzat? Oh yeah, we recently discovered teh lightbulb, woot! Look at our banks, our postal service and the rest of our country's service industry; look at our public hospitals! WHAT has the ANC done? We have strikes, we have people burning buses and trains and we have the most barbaric crimes imaginable. Where are the repercussions? Where is the discipline? In 14 years this is our country? This is what we have to introduce our children to?

International online stores refuse to ship to us. Paypal refuses to deal with us because of our credit/financial laws. We are pretty much cut off from the world except at 3GB intervals... I'm tired of it, and yeah, I blame the ANC and its lazy bunch of ****ers for keeping us so far behind that even Ethiopia seems like a better place to live.

We have little brown Hitler waving his penis in the air and dancing around like a jester shouting with his testosterone because face it, he has nothing else that would set him apart from the rest of the country. And people like him are making a ****ing laughing stock of us. People like him and Zuma are taking the gullibility, stereotypes and resentment of millions and using it to empower themselves and keep their run-down festering turd of a political party going. And they are ruining the future of our country.

Really, I don't know about the rest of you, but I don't want our country to end up like the others north of our border where even the ice in a coke could give you food poisoning.

You know, there's a part of me that wants the ANC to win because the people who vote for them deserve it. So why the hell do we - the ones who know better have to deal with it? Why does the stupidity of millions have to affect us? Oh... But of course... That's democracy.
 
Mini Hitler? lol

Anyone who has read a book on propaganda, and is willing to lie to peoples faces can fool a bunch of people who can't even read that book..

What troubles me though, is the legions of newspaper articles about Julius owning several handbags.

Remember it was reported someone broke into his Mercedes at his Sandton house (helloooo, "a better life for all"??!) a year or two back and stole his ID from his handbag?

Hmmmmmmm.....

Not just any handbag but iirc it was Gucci (lol). But there were pictures of his home in Limpopo uploaded on the forum a while ago.

Better life for a selected few imo or rather a better life if you are an uneducated potato.
