What Malema did is amazing to show his people support, it is good that he cares about them even when they are not there. Koketso was a big supporter of (EFF). Some people might look at this and say it’s nothing, But they have the whole president of EFF come to the funeral of a former member is big. Because Kekotso also supported Malema when he came to Gauteng for a rally. So it is good that he managed to make time during his busy schedule to come and support Kekotso`s family this is amazing indeed. Thank you, Malema for what you did, May Koketso`s soul rest in peace.
