Cape Town – EFF leader Julius Malema has criticised African leaders for what he calls humiliating visits to the US Oval Office, accusing them of serving imperialist interests.
Malema was speaking at the party’s 3rd central command team meeting in Bela Bela on Saturday.
“As the world is stands up against imperialism. Africa is silent and its leaders continue to present themselves for humiliation at the Oval Office. The EFF must force Africa to rise to the occasion and cut relations with imperialism,” he said.
Malema particularly singled out President Cyril Ramaphosa for allegedly discussing the EFF with US President Donald Trump and failing to defend the “shoot the boer” chant.

Malema drew the anger of Trump during South Africa’s Oval Office visit in May, when Trump played footage of Malema chanting “shoot the boer” to support his misleading claim that white South Africans were being targeted.
Malema also condemned Trump as unstable, linked to sex traffickers, and ignorant of trade economics, urging leftist global forces to unite against US influence.
