THURSDAY

"I will kill you!"

The leader of South Africa's Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) political party, Julius Malema, has threatened to kill a fellow member of the Pan African Parliament that was sitting in Midrand (Johannesburg) on Thursday.

Malema was heard saying “I will kill you” and pointing a finger at the Member of Parliament (MP) from Mali.

Defiant members of the Parliament were refusing to vacate the premises in Midrand, demanding that elections of office bearers be held even though a staff member tested positive for COVID-19.

South African MPs including Malema and the (ANC) African National Congress’ Pemmy Majodina said the sitting should adjourn immediately to follow protocols.

The acting president and presiding officer made the announcement after the MPs had taken their seats but other MPs said it was an attempt to delay incumbent Roger Nkodo Dang’s ouster.

This is an interpretation of what one MP said: “I am just curious that on the day of elections you announce that a staff member has tested positive for COVID-19. I’d like to say there is a member of Parliament who threatened his colleague.”

Positions of the little-known body are often hotly contested as they come with lucrative power and benefits.

Controversial incumbent Dang from Cameroon is facing an ouster after being at the helm for two terms even though the Parliament agreed on a principle of regional rotation.

Dang’s region hasn’t recommended him but some MPs suspect foul play and even alledge that their lives are being threatened.

Julius Malema calls Pan-African parliamentarian a 'hooligan'

A day before, Julius Malema shocked African leaders unaccustomed to his boisterous style at the same Parliament.

Malema raised a point of order in a decidedly South African manner - by calling a member of parliament a hooligan.

"Acting President exercise your power as Chair of the meeting. You can’t be held to ransom by a hooligan! Don’t be scared of a hooligan! This is not his kitchen! This is not his house! Run this house! Acting President, run this house! … Why are you scared? … you are acting in a helpless manner! It’s like you don’t know what to do… We’re not going to sit here and be bullied by this guy! Exercise the rules on him!"

How's he gonna lecture 'xenophobes' after this? He said they must learn how to shela instead of complaining about foreigners. Now he's the one killing them. He's never threatened to kill anyone in the SA parliament. Shows he doesn't value African lives like he always preaches. #EFFisFinished

He will have an excuse to justify it like he always does and go back to screaming his lungs out about how we should tolerate each other as Africans.

Can't wait to see how far the EFF goes in these coming elections.

Can he really justify death threats? Look at his 'kill for Zuma' comments, he backtracked on that.

He won't perform well in the elections, he's reached the ceiling at 10% and 2019 was proof of that. Even though the DA has since imploded its black voters are repulsed by the EFF and will vote ActionSA. So Mashaba is the guy to watch.

He may be a fool but don't underestimate his ability to manipulate the brains of the masses.With the Zuma thing he only backtracked because they kicked him out.

Good points you brought up but let's wait for the polls to speak for themselves.And yes I'm going with Mashaba nna
