Malema Stands Firm Against Zuma: “I Defeated Him Once and I’ll Do It Again”

Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema has delivered a fiery rebuke to former President Jacob Zuma, asserting his past victories over the former head of state and warning that he is prepared to face off again if necessary. Speaking in his trademark combative style, Malema made it clear that he views Zuma as a political adversary whose influence he has already overcome.

“I cannot be threatened by Zuma, no. I defeated Zuma,” Malema declared. “Jacob Zuma thought he buried me when he expelled me from the ANC. I was removed from the party for challenging him on issues like Thabo Mbeki’s removal and shifts in power in Botswana. Zuma used Ramaphosa as a tool to get rid of me, but I’m still here.”

“I can’t be threatened by Zuma, no I defeated Zuma, Jacob Zuma thought he buried me, he expelled me from the ANC for comparing him with Thabo Mbeki. for saying there is a regime change which happened in Botswana. I was expelled from the ANC by Zuma and Ramaphosa was used as an… pic.twitter.com/vj3fyqdGnn

A Longstanding Rivalry

Malema’s expulsion from the ANC in 2012 marked a pivotal moment in his political journey. Shortly after, he founded the EFF in 2013, a party that rapidly became a significant force in South African politics. The EFF has since positioned itself as a staunch critic of both Zuma’s legacy and the ANC’s current leadership.

Malema’s comments reflect his belief that Zuma’s allies are seeking to regain political influence, but he remains unshaken in his stance. “Jacob Zuma is inviting me back to fight with him, and I’ll do it—and do it successfully,” he stated. “I’m not intimidated by Zuma or any of his accomplices who may be working with him.”

Rejecting Reconciliation

While Zuma has expressed an openness to unity within broader political movements, Malema dismissed the idea of reconciliation with the former president. “It’s simply impossible for anyone to destabilize the EFF and expect me to embrace them as a friend,” he said, reinforcing his commitment to maintaining the EFF’s independence and integrity.

Malema’s remarks also highlight his view of the EFF as a “revolutionary” alternative to the ANC, with no room for compromise with its former leaders.

A Symbol of Defiance

For Malema, the battle with Zuma represents more than just a personal feud—it underscores his broader political mission. His statements reflect his determination to lead the EFF without succumbing to pressures from old allies or adversaries.

By emphasizing his resilience and the EFF’s achievements, Malema seeks to solidify his image as a leader unafraid to challenge even the most influential figures in South African politics. As Zuma’s allies attempt to reassert their influence, Malema’s defiant stance signals that the EFF will continue to chart its own course, regardless of opposition.

The rivalry between Malema and Zuma remains a defining feature of South Africa’s political landscape, with both figures representing vastly different visions for the country’s future.
