Malema warns of ‘revolution’ over land

EFF leader Julius Malema has warned that land must be returned to black people or things will get ugly.

Malema was speaking during an interview as part of a documentary by the Turkish Radio and Television Broadcasting Corporation.

Malema argued that‚ 24 years into the democracy‚ “black people are worse off than they were under apartheid”.

He also said there would be war if land was not returned to black people‚ saying: “If things are going the way they are‚ there will be a revolution in this country.”

During the same documentary on the Turkish news station‚ Bernadette Hall‚ a Fochville farmer‚ said she believed there was genocide of white people in South Africa.

Hall said if her land was taken away she would fight tooth and nail as it had been legally bought.

“This is my country as much as it is everybody else’s,” she said.

In an attempt to give clarity about expropriation of land without compensation‚ Malema said: “The state owns the land and then it gives it to you on a long lease‚ in that way everyone else will have access to the land.” – TimesLIVE
