Malema Drops A Bombshell On March For March Protesters

EFF leader Julius Malema has poured cold water on recent anti-illegal migrant protests across the country, telling demonstrators, “you are fighting over useless things”.

The March and March Movement has been leading nationwide protests against undocumented foreign nationals, demanding the mass deportation of illegal immigrants.

Addressing EFF members at the party’s Workers’ Day rally in Rustenburg on Friday, Malema questioned the impact the marches have actually had on SA’s unemployment crisis.

“Let’s ask a question: after you march and say you don’t want Zimbabweans, Nigerians, and Ghanaians, you close their shops. Why are you then not telling us that you expelled 10 Zimbabweans and were able to give jobs to 10 South Africans,” Malema asked.

He argued that the removal of foreigners did not address the lack of “proper” employment, characterising jobs often performed by migrants as exploitative.
