Malema mouths off in the Gourmet Capital



Julius Malema let rip again when he addressed a handful of business people at a fundraiser in Franschhoek on Friday night.  The fundraiser was part of the ANCYL’s 66th birthday celebrations.

Following Zwelinzima Vavi’s criticism of businessman Kenny Kunene’s lavish lifestyle Malema said that Vavi “must be cut down to size.”  He also accused Vavi of doing Helen Zille’s job by “casting doubt on the credibility of his people’s government.”

Malema also restated his call for the state to control 60% of mining resources.  According to Malema those opposed to nationalisation were simply defending the interests of the Rupert family.  "When people say you are scaring investors they are just referring to one family in Stellenbosch. They call it investors but it's just one family."

Malema further said that the private sector need not fear plans to redistribute wealth as forty percent would remain in private hands. "We appreciate the role of private business people. You will still get something."

Guests paid R10 000 a table to attend the event.
