Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema has sharply criticized former President Jacob Zuma, accusing him of portraying himself as a “Messiah” for black South Africans. Malema’s remarks were made during a memorial lecture on the legacy of Solomon Mahlangu at the University of Pretoria’s Mamelodi Campus.

The EFF leader took aim at Zuma’s recent call for “black parties” to unite in support of land expropriation without compensation. Malema dismissed Zuma’s approach as self-serving, suggesting that the former president was attempting to position himself as the savior of black South Africans.

“Our struggle is not about personalities,” Malema asserted. “It is about addressing the systemic injustices of the past and achieving true land and economic freedom.”

Context on Land Reform

Malema reminded his audience of the atrocities committed during apartheid, emphasizing the historical theft of land by white settlers. He argued that Zuma, as a former leader, must take accountability and help pave the way for meaningful land reform, stating, “Whites are the ones who stole the land. Zuma should facilitate the process instead of posturing.”

Renewed Focus on Land Reform

Malema’s remarks come amid ongoing debates surrounding South Africa’s land expropriation bill, a deeply divisive issue in the country’s politics. While the EFF has consistently championed radical land reform, the African National Congress (ANC), where Zuma retains considerable influence, has faced internal divisions over the issue.

Political Implications

Malema’s criticism underscores the tensions between the EFF and Zuma, who continues to command loyalty within certain factions of the ANC. With the 2024 general elections looming, land reform and economic empowerment remain central topics in South Africa’s political discourse.

Malema’s statements are likely to provoke further debate, both within the ANC and across the broader political landscape. As the country grapples with the legacy of apartheid, the road to meaningful reform remains fraught with challenges and competing visions for the future.
