The first time I fell in love with Julius Malema was back in 2009 when he did an interview with the Ice Queen Debra “no-nonsense” Patta on 3rd Degree. Malema appeared like a lamb which has gone to the slaughter but not just aware of what’s coming also prepared to escape unharmed. He successfully justified his much questioned lifestyle or materialistic possession and was wise enough not to disclose his income. He spoke honestly about his personal life, the booze, later sleeps, early wake ups for his political duties and how he’s getting his acts together.
Much has been written about this interview in different media & social media platform. Each side had its support and share of criticism.
Instead of repeating what is already there I want to take a close look at Julius Malema and how he plays media and politics game at his best. He raises issues in a very controversial manner, supports controversial figure like Robert Mugabe Lol! etc & jump into issues which seems to be far or no relevance to the youth. Through all those he gains publicity, every media house want to hear what he said, media sections like radio stations will give him live interviews, he’ll go there as a villain but spoke eloquently, presenters and radio talk show hosts warmed up to him while is gaining grounds from the listening public.
He’s been in the news for all the wrong reasons, recently about his 16 Million Mansion he’s building in Sandton. Journalist got a tongue-lash from Juju, he told them his money is not their business and they can kiss his behind for all he cares. That’s Juju for you, when the going gets hard, Juju gets defensive, remember when he called the BBC Reporter a Bastard???
We may argue till cows come home about not so intelligent manner in which he is raising issues but he’ll run pass us locked in arguments or stuck in his controversies while making a way becoming our next head of state. My question is: “Is he President’s material?” I just cant imagine the kind of President he’ll be. Call me shallow but I love this man, there’s something about him that I just can’t get enough of.
!! Love him or hate him, Juju is here to stay.. ????Miss Hope ?????

eish its very hard to say now after the City Press stories. Just wonder how he is going to get out of this one
What makes his situation Extraordinary?? Why are they all over his business? How many Ministers are accused of
mismanagement of funds in their
departments and are not been
followed up? My conclusion is that
all the trash they wrote about him
is to further tarnish his image, and tone down his calls for nationalization and land distribution which will benefit us the masses. This calls are genuine.
