Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema has strongly condemned U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent threat to halt American funding to South Africa over its land expropriation policies. Malema slammed Trump’s remarks as an assault on South Africa’s sovereignty and a blatant act of imperialist interference.

Speaking at a press briefing on February 3, 2025, Malema reiterated the EFF’s unwavering commitment to land expropriation without compensation, calling it a necessary step to address the country’s historical injustices. He declared that no external pressure would deter their mission.

“We want to make it categorically clear to President Trump that we will expropriate land without compensation and pass the necessary laws to ensure it. No threat will stop us,” Malema said defiantly.

He further criticized Trump’s statements as a reminder of the dangers of relying on foreign aid and investment, arguing that such dependence leaves African nations vulnerable to external manipulation.

“Trump’s comments are offensive and undermine our sovereignty. They highlight how foreign aid and foreign direct investment allow imperialist powers to dictate the economic and policy direction of Africa,” Malema stated.

Malema also took aim at South Africa’s Government of National Unity (GNU), accusing certain political factions of colluding with international forces to undermine the African National Congress (ANC). He specifically pointed to the Democratic Alliance (DA), alleging that the party is behind efforts to mobilize international opposition to the ANC’s land reform policies.

“The DA is using its international connections to influence foreign leaders like Donald Trump to oppose our land reform policies,” Malema claimed.

Trump’s recent announcement to suspend future funding to South Africa until a comprehensive investigation into its land expropriation plans is completed has raised diplomatic tensions. The South African government insists its land reform policies are constitutional and aimed at addressing long-standing inequalities.

Malema concluded his address by calling for the strengthening of South Africa’s state capacity and reducing the country’s reliance on Western powers. He emphasized the need for stronger trade relations with China, Russia, and other BRICS nations, which he described as allies that do not use foreign policy to exert control.

“The EFF stands firm in its position: We must build state capacity, create a robust agricultural and industrial economy, and develop stronger ties with progressive nations like China, Russia, and our BRICS partners—countries that don’t use their influence to bully or coerce others,” Malema said.

As the land reform debate intensifies, Malema’s bold stance signals that the EFF remains committed to pushing for land expropriation without compensation, despite mounting external pressure and domestic political challenges.
