EFF's Julius Malema says he is a Jew!
A South African "revolutionary"?

Ooops! - perhaps Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) president Julius Malema is not so "hot" a revolutionary after all! It has now been revealed that he believes he is of Jewish ancestry, ethnically connected to the Middle East(!) - through his Lemba tribe/Mushavi heritage.
This derilious notion (just look at the map!), is still enough to make him adapt typically Jewish supremacist talking points. In the interview above, mr Malema says:“Because as the Black Jews, wherever we find each other, we embrace one another, support each other, defend each other. And share lot of ideas together, so that is what brought us together.”The article "Julius Malema is of Jewish ancestry!" (Bulawayo24 News, 14 November 2020) adds further info:“Addressing scores of EFF supporters in South Africa recently, Malema said he was a Mushavi and a descendant of the Black Jews.And even the Jews take up this subject in their report on Malema's 2018 reconciliation meeting with representatives of the racist Jewish community. The South African Jewish Report, writes in the article "Julius Malema says he never meant to hurt the Jewish community" (September 6, 2018):
"One day I will tell you why I'm Mushavi.
"Mushavi are Black Jews...
"I will explain why I am a Black Jew because we come from very far. Where these Jews claim they come from, that is where we (Black Jews) come from as well," said Malema.”“At the meeting, Malema acknowledged that he was a member of the Lemba tribe, which believes itself to be the Black Jews of Africa, descendants of the lost tribe of Israel. [...] "The Lemba tribe has a story of descending from King Solomon through Africa, and claims to be Jewish," says Rabbi Dr Akiva Tatz, an expert in Halacha and medicine, who was in South Africa recently.”
Peudo-Bad Boy/"enfant terrible" Malema also doesn't seems so "revolutionary" when scrutinized on the milieus he moves in, how he allows himself to be portrayed in media.
We have assassinated African heroes, like the real revolutionaries Samora Machel of Mozambique and Thomas Sankara of Burkina Faso:
Contrast this to mr Malema and his wife and buddies...

"Coming out" - at last?
And the same mr Malema, when he is "a revolutionary" in "radical mode":

Our verdict: A pseudo-revolutionary, just another example of what is termed "controlled opposition".
Actually it is quite simple. After all these years of agitation, how come Malema hasn't been assassinated, or escaped any serious attempt at his life?
How come that he's tolerated by the mighty and powerful? Why hasn't he suffered the fate of Samora, Sankara or Lumumba?
