The EFF appears to have found itself on the wrong side of black Twitter on Sunday for a change. EFF leader Julius Malema, who in the past has spun the decks himself as a hobbyist DJ, has waded into the furore surrounding DJ Shimza, who sparked widespread outrage over the long weekend for his rude response to a young up-and-coming fellow DJ, DJ Ceega.
However, his comments appear to have backfired massively, with a steady stream of criticism now headed his way on the Twitter streets.

Shimza had earlier apologised for his “arrogance”, but this hasn’t slowed down public outrage, especially on Twitter, where many have been calling for him “to fall”.
Many people, including Malema, however, have said the apology should be accepted and the DJ allowed to move on with his life.
“Never be shaken by rubbish young man @Shimza01. You worked very hard to be where you are and can’t be destroyed by those who suffer from self-hate. Apology accepted, now continue playing good music,” the EFF leader tweeted to him.
