mistermoose Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 http://www.news24.com/Africa/Zimbabwe/We-must-learn-from-Zimbabwe-says-Malema-20140110Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema has reportedly showered Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe with praise, saying there was no land reform system that had worked successfully for Africa other than Zimbabwe's land reform programme.Speaking during a media conference in Johannesburg, Malema said in the next 20 years Zimbabwe would be the only African country where people owned their own land, according to a Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation report.Malema said the Zimbabwean policy on land reform was a lesson to be learnt from and to be implemented in South Africa, “except the initial violent method of attacking white people or attacking each other”.According to an Eyewitness News report, Malema said although Zimbabweans may be hungry and poor today, they could be proud of the fact that they owned property while South Africans had nothing to show as proof that they belonged to South Africa.The EFF leader said Western powers were attacking Zimbabwe to scare South Africans from engaging in any agrarian reform.He said the result of Zimbabwe's 2013 elections was scientific evidence that the people of Zimbabwe were happy about the land reform, particularly the rural masses who now had access to land.

Bams Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 He might be a monkey, but he scares me...The youth is tired of a non performing ANC and he is making promises (that he probably wont keep just like the ANC), but promises none the less. The youth is grasping at any straws, any hope and he is providing it...Lord, protect us and our country!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad76 Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Well he is right, the programme was hugely successful for Mugabe. Mugabe has offshore bank accounts reflecting numbers beyond Malema's comprehension , estates in the countries of the former colonial oppressors etc etc So in Malema's eyes the whole land grab / indigenisation programme was a huge success, after all that is what he wants for himself and screw the man on the street!!! I do love his take on what constitutes scientific evidence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DXB2OZ Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 It's a pity for the Zimbabweans that the pride of owning land doesn't feed, house or clothe their families. But that's ok - they still have pride.So, Malema is preaching that we don't need food or shelter, just pride and Zuma is preaching that he used to practice witchcraft ........ Seriously scary stuff.

mistermoose Posted January 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 He's obviously had lessons on toning down his arm-waving rhetoric, but the core message is still the same: take land from white people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyebrow Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 And there are pics of Mugabe's wife (30y his junior!) shopping at Harrods, dressed to the nines! So it must be working! Unfortunately only for Mugabe and not the rest of the Zimbabweans....Would be interesting to see which percentage of the votes Malema does take... He doesnt have the money for a campaign. But gets his free advertising via the media when he comes up with these ridiculous statements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
