Malema Roasts PA Leaders in Explosive Speech That Sets Social Media Ablaze

EFF leader Julius Malema has unleashed a scathing attack on Patriotic Alliance (PA) figures Gayton McKenzie and Kenny Kunene, dismissing them as political opportunists in a fiery address that’s gone viral nationwide.

Speaking to an energized crowd, Malema didn’t mince words: “Gayton and Kenny aren’t politicians—they’re clowns in designer suits performing for whoever pays them,” he declared, sparking both cheers and fierce debate online. The clip, hashtagged #MalemaVsPA, has already surpassed a million views within a day.

The EFF commander-in-chief accused the PA duo of political flip-flopping, saying: “Yesterday they cosied up to Zuma, today they pretend to care for the poor. Tomorrow? Maybe they’ll be holding hands with the DA.” He particularly mocked Kunene’s past as the self-styled ‘Sushi King’, questioning his credibility to represent ordinary South Africans.

The verbal grenades have divided public opinion. Supporters applaud Malema for “telling hard truths,” while critics suggest he’s rattled by the PA’s growing municipal influence. Kunene fired back swiftly, branding Malema “a political toddler throwing tantrums for attention.”

With the 2026 local government elections looming, this explosive clash signals intensifying rivalries as opposition parties jostle for dominance. As the war of words escalates, one thing is clear: South Africa’s political arena just got dramatically more combative.
