Don't blame me for any inaccuracies. He rambles quite a bit.

MALEMA: These popcorn and mushrooming political parties in Zimbabwe, they will never find friendship in us. They can insult us here from air conditioned offices of Sandton, we are unshaken. They must stop shouting at us. They must go and fight for their battle in Zimbabwe and win. If they got ground and they are formed on the basis of solid ground in Zim why are they speaking in Sandton and not Mashonaland or Matabeleland?

There is nothing Sandton in Zimbabwe. There is everything about the Zimbabwean. Let them go back and fight there. Even when the ANC was underground in exile, we had our internal underground forces fighting for freedom, and we have never spoken from exile.

JOHN FISHER INTERJECTS: You live in Sandton?

MALEMA: Let me tell you before you are tjatjarag (excitable) this is a building of a revolutionary party and you know nothing about the revolution.

FISHER: So they're not welcome in Sandton but you are?

MALEMA: Here you behave or else you jump.

FISHER: This is becoming a joke.

MALEMA: Don’t laugh!

MALEMA: Chief, (points at the back of the room), can you get security to remove this thingy.

If you are not going to behave, we are going to get security to take you out. This is not a newsroom this, this is a revolutionary house and you don’t come here with that white tendency, not here. You can do it somewhere else, not here.








If you have got a tendency of undermining blacks even where you work, you are in the wrong place. Here you are in the wrong place, and you can go out.

FISHER: But that’s rubbish!

MALEMA: You can go out … rubbish is what you have covered in that trouser – that is rubbish. That which you have covered in [your] clothes is rubbish, ok?

You are a small boy you can’t do anything. Go out … bastard! Go out! You bloody agent!

We cannot be allowed to be undermined in our own terrain, you can do that in your own offices, but here, once you come in here – this is not a playground, this is Luthuli House. It’s the headquarters of a revolutionary party which has liberated the people of South Africa.

Here, you come, you restrain yourself and behave in a manner that is befitting of being in the head quarters of the ANC. It’s not a beer-hall here, it’s not a drunk beer-hall – cheap beer-hall, this. And you ask anybody including political parties which tried to undermine this house what happened to them.

You can undermine all of us but not the house. Never undermine the house. When you are here, you are in a different terrain. You are in our space and you are going to behave in a manner that is befitting of being in the ANC office.

You don’t howl here especially when we speak and you behave like you are in an American press conference? This is not America, it’s Africa.

You must behave in an African way. If you are in Rome, you do as the Romans do. These things you write about us and insulting us, that is your space [and] you can do as you wish. We don’t have a problem with that and we have accepted that you are abusing that space [and] you are abusing us in that space.

[But] you don’t come and abuse us in our own space, in our own house. This is my house and you will behave according to the rules of my house. We are not forcing anybody to be here. If you feel you are offended by the removal of this gentleman, you are most welcome to walk, you are free to go.

We don’t force anybody to come here. We would be worried if the SABC doesn’t come, but the rest of you to be honest, we really don’t care.

SABC is our own but the rest, it’s ok whether you come or you don’t come. We don’t have a problem.

And if you feel offended in solidarity with this gentleman, like the solidarity of other journalists who connived with a corrupt journalist which was exposed by the Youth League, you are again free to walk. The corridors are open.

Let’s not push each other to a point where we will have to engage each other differently because we are not going to be undermined by young boys and then we say ‘no, we need to restrain ourselves’.

When we are in the BBC studios you can pull us around and say whatever. You do that anyway when we have interviews with you. You just come in when we try to respond and you ask further questions … we never fight with you at that level, that’s your space. But here, my brother, you need to ask the South Africans – if you’re not – what the ANC is and what does the head quarters of the ANC mean to them.

So these are the headquarters of the ANC and we behave accordingly and like I said, if you fell offended, you can walk. There is no problem. And this is not a threat to media freedom. Media freedom without limitations and journalists just running amok and wanting to undermine us like that – we are human beings.

We are not going to be looted here and harassed by journalists. You can do that to the elders and not to us. We are the youth and we will act in a youthful manner, if you know what it means.

So that is how we will act on anybody that seeks to undermine us. The ANC is going to revive liberation movements all over Africa.

Rabbid little freak, isn't he?

 

[Nerfherder]

To be fair you can't hear in the interview how the Jorno jibes him.... but then its still really hard to understand what exactly J Mal is on about.

I would like to see him interviewed in his own language, with subtitles obviously, then there can be certain as to what exactly he means.

Don't call him a rabbid, uncle bob will want to mount him ...

Oh, that's easy.

When he says 'kill' he doesn't mean kill. When he says 'boer' he doesn't mean boer. But when he says 'sleeping around' he means sleeping around!

JOHN FISHER INTERJECTS: You live in Sandton?

Julius lashed out but Fisher was out of order. Malema was rightly pointing out the perculiarity of a Zimbabwean party which seems to have abandoned its base Zimbabwe. Sandton is also a part of South Africa, why should Julius's residence there be questioned? Fisher's comment was probably interpreted thus "you are also black like the MDC, why can't they operate from Sandton but you can live there ??". A very colonial and outdated mindset from the Brit.

Fisher displayed a gutter journalism that had preconceived views of Malema as a buffoon who needed to be ridiculed, rather than going there objectively and getting feedback of the Zim trip as his profession demands. He chose to parrot the prevailing sensationalist reporting on Julius which doesn't bother to ask the serious questions which pertain to the future of the country's economic, political and social structures.

And this is what the general public enjoys, being fed shallow and simplistic sensation that liberates you from the burden/responsibility of thinking critically about the issues that matter.

I think you are confusing the BBC with the british tabloids.

Well your post does reflect your own preconceived views and they seems just as distorted as those of Malema.

For your interest, at least even one of the most profound ANC idiots have a different view than You.

The only gutter is the one from which malema comes.

One needs not have preconceived views of melema, malema proves that he is a stupid buffoon who needs to ridiculed all by himself.

 

[JerryMungo]

Dos Malema perhaps want Tsvangarai back in Zim so Mugabe's henchmen can sort him out for good? Seems he wants MT to get militant as it's the only language he understands. Which makes him a frustrated loose end in a democratic society.

Perhaps Malema has forgotten this:

HARARE, March 12 (Reuters) - Zimbabwe's main opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai was severely assaulted in detention and had to be taken to hospital for treatment following his arrest on Sunday over a banned prayer rally, his lawyer said. "He was in bad shape, he was swollen very badly. He was bandaged on the head. You couldn't distinguish between the head and the face and he could not see properly," Innocent Chagonda, an attorney, told Reuters after visiting a Harare police station where Tsvangirai was being held.

Chagonda said he had not spoken to Tsvangirai, who heads the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), because police had denied lawyers access to the dozens of opposition and civic leaders arrested in the crackdown on anti-government forces.

"I managed to see him from about 10 metres inside the police holding fence at Borrowdale Police Station. They were being paraded," he said.

"Police confirmed they had taken him to hospital last night, which explains the reason he was bandaged," Chagonda added.

A spokesman for National Constitutional Assembly (NCA), a political pressure group, said its chairman, Lovemore Madhuku, suffered a broken arm and a bad head wound after being taken into police custody.

"I saw him at Parirenyatwa Hospital (in Harare) this morning, and his arm is now in a plaster and the head wound is quite bad," NCA spokesman Ernest Mudzengi said.

The organisers of the prayer rally, which was stopped by the police because it violated a three-month government ban on such protests, said Tsvangirai fainted three times after being beaten while Madhuku passed out and was rushed to hospital.

The welfare of Arthur Mutambara, who heads a breakaway faction of the MDC and was among those arrested on Sunday, was unclear, his lawyer Harrison Nkomo said.

The arrests of the opposition leaders, which were condemned by the United States government, came amid rising tensions in Zimbabwe over a deepening economic crisis and President Robert Mugabe's rule.

Zimbawe, once one of Africa's most prosperous countries, is struggling with inflation over 1,700 percent, sky-high unemployment and chronic shortages of food, fuel and foreign currency.

Mugabe, in power since the country won independence from Britain in 1980, was quoted by a state-run newspaper on Monday as saying he would run again for president if his ruling ZANU-PF party nominated him.

The MDC have not abandoned Zimbabwe, they are not free to speak in there own country...

 

[Nothxkbi]

Malema doesn't have the education or ability to deal with the media. Everyone in the spot light has to face the media. Flying off the handle and hurling insults everytime they challenge you is a sure way to dare them to get in your face a lot more. It makes good sensationalistic news. They know how to press his buttons. For Malema, Fisher is just the beginning. The vultures are circling him and they gonna tear him to pieces.

Dude Julius put himself in his own corner..when he knew he was wrong...he got angry

 

[JerryMungo]

The problem is that, if he is anything like Mugabe who he claims to adore, he will cling even tighter to power the more he is ridiculed... I don't doubt that he is capable of driving SA into the ground for the sake of his own ego.

 

[Frankie]

preconceived views of Malema as a buffoon who needed to be ridiculed

And a viewed shared by most educated people.

Mal-enema proved him right, didn't he !

Fixed.

Sorry. Couldn't resist it...

Scared the dog with the lol from that.
