POLITICAL NEWS - EFF leader Julius Malema attended a service at the Apostolic Faith Mission River of Life in Soshanguve, Tshwane, on Sunday, where he said he had forgiven former president Jacob Zuma after hearing a sermon on forgiveness.
“We came here for wisdom and since the priest was telling us about forgiveness as politicians, we must now forgive Zuma. We forgive him for the sake of the priest because we cannot go against the word of the priest,” Malema said.
The EFF leader expressed his animosity towards Zuma as recently as Saturday when an interview with Tim Modise on eNCA was broadcast, although it was in the context of him explaining he believed President Cyril Ramaphosa was no better than his predecessor.
“They [Zuma and Ramaphosa] are the same. They are from the same pot. You can’t cook a chicken in the same pot and say this piece is better than that piece. They are all the same. What is the pot? The pot is African National Corruption. That’s where they’re cooked. They are all products of that,” he told Modise.
Malema was originally one of Zuma’s fiercest supporters as president of the ANC Youth League (ANCYL), to the point of famously saying at a rally he would kill or die for him.
