Johannesburg - Botswana's refusal to grant EFF leader Julius Malema a visa showed that its President Ian Khama was a dictator, the party said on Friday.

“The Economic Freedom Fighters condemns the refusal by the autocratic military government of Botswana to grant the CIC (commander in chief) Julius Malema a visa,” its national spokesman Mbuyiseni Quintin Ndlozi said in a statement.

“There are absolutely no grounds for a so-called democratic country to refuse a person a visa merely on the basis that he holds a different political view to that of the government.”

Malema's expulsion from the African National Congress in 2012 was partly because he threatened to bring about regime change in Botswana.

In July 2011, Malema said there was a vacuum in the ideological and political leadership of Africa and the subregions, The Sunday Times reported at the time.

He reportedly said the ANC Youth League intended establishing a Botswana command team, which would work towards uniting all oppositional forces in Botswana “to oppose the puppet regime of Botswana, led by the Botswana Democratic Party”.

“The BDP is a foot stool of imperialism, a security threat to Africa and always under constant puppetry of the United States.”

According to the newspaper, he said the ANCYL would help to bring about change in a “democratic manner”.

“We know that Botswana is in discussions to open a military base for the imperialists and the present government of Botswana has the potential to co-operate in this manner.”

He reportedly said a detailed plan would be unveiled once a team had been established to handle the situation in Botswana.

“There is no army involved here, there is nobody who is going to be trained and overthrown though a coup.”

Malema reportedly said that, after the “interaction”, a coalition party might be formed because the ANCYL believed opposition parties in Botswana were not strong enough to “properly topple that government through democratic means”.

The EFF said on Friday that the Botswana governments refusal to grant Malema a visa confirmed that Botswana was not a democratic country.

“There can never be a democratic country that refuses those who disagree with the acts of its government permission to be visit it,” said Ndlozi.

Neither did a democratic government arrest journalists, as Botswana had following the arrest of Sunday Standard editor Outsa Mokone, for publishing a critical story about ruling “dictator” Khama.

The title, Commander in chief, shows that malema is an egotistical brat with huge delusions of grandeur.

This is about the most polite thing I can say about malema. I'm actually disappointed in myself for being so nice to him.

Botswana's government just doesn't want Malema starting any revolutions. Perfectly reasonable.

I like Malema for one reason - taking votes from the ANC. It seems clear at this point that the DA's ability to do so is very limited, so we need all the help we can get.

Rather the devil know than the devil you don't.

This malema creature is a loose cannon. Hopefully he will shoot himself in the foot with this cannon, soon.
 
I give Malema zero support.

Interesting how he baptized the Botswana President as a dictator when his own hero is setting dictatorship milestones.

Yes, Malema is taking ANC votes, do know that he can be empowered by this, will he then still be openly supported by certain individuals to oppose the ANC.

Malema is trouble and everything he does to garner votes is to pave him royalty, like mad Bob. People is still coming South, soon they "might" have to learn to swim long distance.
 
He did threaten to overthrow the democratically elected gov. of Botswana.

They should give him a visa, arrest him when he enters, lock him up for 20yrs....

Malema has done plenty. He's a pain in the ass to parliament, enjoyed incredible success in the last election despite being a new party and has given many poor people a beacon of hope that wealth might some day soon be taken from whites and given to them.
