Julius Malema calls on progressive forces to defend Independent Media
EFF leader Julius Malema has come out guns blazing against Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan, calling him an ‘enemy of black excellence’. Malema has called on progressive forces to defend Sekunjalo Independent Media, who he says is under siege because of Gordhans ‘disrespect for black people.
Malema was speaking on the sidelines of the EFF’s second National People’s Assembly held in Nasrec, south of Johannesburg. Malema’s comments on Gordhan follow the PIC’s application to liquidate SIM. The application was deemed frivolous by the company and has been slammed by the ANC,PAC, APC, EFF and other civil society organisations. Independent Media must be allowed to exist. It is the only news agency that doesn’t follow the cabal. It will be a sad day in this country if we only have the media of the cabal.
After Independent Media they’ll come for every black executive in this country. Pravin thinks he is powerful. From the 80’s he has destroyed all black people who disagreed with him. Malema has accused Gordhan of being behind the attack on the publishing company because it contradicted a pro-white agenda. At the conference, prominent lawyer Dali Mpofu was ousted from the top 6 and the CCT.
The Malema faction known as “Matorokisi”, emerged strongly in the 40-member Central Command Team of the EFF. The CCT is the highest decision making structure for the Red berets. The EFF amended its constitution from 30 to 40 members, and 54% of it is represented by women. Delegates elected 22 women into the 40 member CCT, surpassing the requirement of having 50% women representation in the organisation’s highest structure between conferences.

Ntombikayise (35) and Bongani (37) are both originally from Soweto, currently living in Fourways. Their paths first crossed when they attended the same high school. At that time, I was not dating any guys,” says Ntombikayise. “So after high school, we met in 2012. [I was] going shopping for my 3-year-old. It was going to be her birthday party. And then I met up with him. Crossing paths again has seemed to be exceptionally serendipitous. “
I saw a lot of potential in her and all that was left was for me to ask her out,” says Bongani. “I was scared. I was afraid of rejection and all of that. But Ntombikayise says he wanted her phone number. She went a step further and invited him to her daughter’s party. “I asked him if he had a child. He said yes and I asked him to bring her. I was also single so I was hoping, like, you know….” She smiles broadly recalling the discussion. Read more
