Julius Malema claims Jacob Zuma ‘hates’ Robert Mugabe

Two years earlier, he was ticked off by Mr Zuma for praising Zimbabwe’s
violent land reforms and calling for similar changes in South Africa while
on a controversial visit to the country.

Speaking to the Zanu PF-supporting Sunday Mail from his home in Sandton,
Johannesburg, at the weekend, Mr Malema said he had been “inspired”
by the seizure of white-owned farms, which plunged Zimbabwe’s economy into
free-fall.

“I learnt that people can take charge of what rightly belongs to them,”
he said. “Zimbabweans are not cowards. They are not scared to take a
risk.

“They got land and now they are continuing with agricultural activities.

They are working, they are employing each other.” He praised Mr Mugabe
for backing his people and took a swipe at African leaders who work with the
West.

“We need more people like President Mugabe who will say no to
imperialists,” he said. “Not leaders who are voted by the people
but when the imperialists ask them to jump, they don’t ask why but how high.

“He represents change. He is not scared of white minority rule. He is not
scared of colonialism. He stands firm for what he believes in.”

Mr Zuma, 70, who has been nominated by the Southern African Development
Community as the key mediator in Zimbabwe and has infuriated Zanu PF by
pushing for key reforms before elections, was not so genuine, he said.

“I know the views of President Zuma about Zimbabwe and Zanu-PF, and
that’s why I don’t think that they are genuine,” he said.

“I don’t think that President Zuma is a neutral facilitator in the
Zimbabwean problems. He has very strong views about President Mugabe and
Zanu-PF.

“I am not a diplomat, but I am saying to you President Zuma does not say
the things that he says when he is in Zimbabwe when he is in the meetings of
the ANC.” He said that one day, after President Zuma’s tenure, he would
be president of the ANC.

“It will happen in future,” he said. “I am 31 years old and I
have differences with people in their 70s so even if it happens after 20
years, I will go and tell them in their graves that what you wished not to
happen is happening now.”
