I love Malema and his political ideologies. Everyone, irrespective of class, should take up the socialistic role of eradicating poverty. I am however concerned about Malema's inability to cling to his words. This is the same Malema who once said that revolutionaries shouldn't be seen wearing luxurious clothing. This is the same Malema who criticized parliamentarians for wearing designer clothing to SONA and accused them of being wasteful. There are countless examples in other contexts where Malema struggles to preach the very same thing that he preaches. This needs to stop. It takes so much away from his integrity as a leader.

The ANC has generated enough tax to be decent houses not RDP houses and yet the majority still vote for him again ask where has those taxes disappeared to. I cannot understand why anyone who is a corrupt leader and stops their people the right to decent housing and a decent lifestyle. Sorry I just cannot believe what people do to each other.

Look at all the tax payers money was spent on renovating Nkandla even a swimming pool for in case of fire that's the best I've ever heard.

Che Guevara, a true revolutionary, would never even think of wearing designer clothing. I don't have an issue with politicians wearing designer clothes, but don't call yourself a revolutionary. Don't invoke that imagery. The reason you call yourself a 'revolutionary,' is because you're trying to make yourself look a certain way to onlookers, and thus, you benefit from the invocation of that imagery. We as onlookers reserve the right to call you out when we're of the opinion that you don't embody the tenets of what constitutes a true revolutionary.

@mojokanjani6123 Thanks for pointing that out brother, you are correct. 1. Revolutionaries are human, after all, with interests and things they value. My understanding is that he owned these as prized possessions and not necessarily for opulence. 2. Rolex watches have never been considered inexpensive; however, they previously occupied a much more accessible price range. As a point of reference, a stainless steel Submariner Date retailed for $180 in 1957. Adjusting for inflation, that would still only be equal to roughly $1,600 today. To add some additional perspective, a brand-new, stainless steel Submariner Date now costs $8,550. 3. Ultimately, Che was known amongst the people as a man with a disdain for wealth, excess, and inequality and he tried his best to live up to that. For me, this doesn't nullify the point. If you invoke that imagery, then you need to try and embody those tenets to the best of your ability. Whether you're Che or Julius.

Malema's lifestyle contrast with his political rhetoric. Julius Malema has been accused of hypocrisy due to the contrast between his lavish lifestyle and his political rhetoric advocating for the poor and working class.[2][3] Despite positioning himself as a champion of the working class and calling for the nationalization of mines and banks, Malema is known for his love of expensive goods such as Breitling watches and Gucci handbags, which he openly flaunts.[2][3] This behavior is seen as hypocritical by many who argue that Malema is exploiting the poor for political gain while enjoying the benefits of capitalism himself.[2][3] Additionally, Malema has faced criticism and legal troubles related to allegations of tax evasion and corruption, further undermining his credibility as a leader fighting for economic justice.[3] His past convictions for hate speech have also been a point of contention, as they seem to contradict his claims of representing the marginalized.[3] While Malema has been able to build a significant political following, especially among young and poor black South Africans, his hypocrisy and controversial behavior have raised concerns about the sincerity of his populist agenda and the potential dangers he poses to South Africa's democracy and economy.

If he behaves hypocritically the voters will notice and it will show up in his support. To me the bloated size of government is much more obscene than this single minor event. South Africans are pretty unanimous in WHAT we want to achieve, (e.g. eliminate corruption and poverty as a start), but we are divided on HOW, i.e. with what ideologies and economic policies we should follow to achieve these goals. There are many countries that tried the marxist/socialist route which advocated for equality over equity, and which are now basket cases, and there are many countries that achieved economic success following free market and even libertarian principles that have achieved spectacular success in reducing poverty. I would rather trust politicians (e.g. Herman Mashaba) who have actually run businesses (where the real value and jobs are created), than the career politicians who don't know how to do anything but distract and divide the population. Bigger government is not the solution, it's the problem.

@@Olcool dude he bought shoes…shoes. Get some perspective

Malena's wife is an accountant Malema is also working don't be so jealous everyday they wear overalls remember they are young and at times they have to attend function and wear different please what if these shoes are bought by his wife they have to spoil themselves some time they have to take their partners out to appreciate them

He is member of Parliament, he get paid monthly salary. Is up to them how and when to use it.

Just because you have something in common with someone (e.g. Race) does not mean you represent what they represent, it also does not mean if what you represent is different then it is automatically bad. Some black leaders think all black people want the exact same thing. Fundamentally a group of people may want the same thing but not in the same order of priority. I think people are upset because he once told his fighters to not show opulence and because that expensive brand is owned by "white monopoly capital" . I do not care what they wear as long as they do not utter words like "we are poor".

He wears overalls people complain,he wears expensive brands they still complain,what I'm concerned about is not his lifestyle but what he's advocating,but the complainants are those who can't afford,I'd buy these shoes if i had money & still take poor children to school & give poor young girls free sanitary towels of which the government that we've voted for cannot afford.

The reality is .... Mandela was not poor ... he lived in Houghton a very affluent suburb, as much as anything else I think it is attitude rather than material things. Politicians often have side hustles and businesses etc that existed before their entry into politics. Also political connections do not hurt when it comes to business ... no problem with that as long as it is above board. I think actions speak louder than words ... represent the poor etc in action and that will speak louder than any words or gucci loafers. SA is not the USA where business is run by an intermediary while you are president! The other reality is ... that in the case of the EFF they are in parliament not in government so they have no control of policy or spending ... they are merely a voice. I believe most people would rather be represented by someone who is successful that one who is not. The clothing is a representation of this ... in the correct places. Does Julius arrive in the townships dressed like that?

Yes I am sure Kwame Nkrumah, Malcom X, Marcus Garvey, Thomas Sankara, Chris Hani, Subhas Chandra Bose all wore and showed off their designer clothing while advocating for the economic freedom for their people. I really hope one day people can wake up.

Generally he must be modest to avoid perceptions. Dont flount your wealth juju but you dobt have to wear red overalls but decent dress.

It's his money and these, attacks are simply malicious. Durban July is not a gathering of the poor, he's never gone to any township wearing fancy clothes and he's not spending our tax money,, let him be.

​@jeronimodavidgaroupa5143 He is not spending tax money because he is not running a government department that has a public budget.

"Apparently" the shoes R30 000, the jacket he's wearing is around R50 000, the wife's dress is around R60 000 and her earring are worth around R130 0000, him and he's wife are dressed in almost R300 000 worth of clothing in one night, he's salary cannot afford him this sort of opulence, he is not a business mogul, we're just trying to understand how he is this wealthy especially with all the corruption that goes on in SA.

CIC he's got peronal business interest that he accumulated over the years. whatever he wears at what cost has nothing to do with anyone

His lifestyle doesn't align with his political ideology, we need to hold the EFF to those standards. Socialism does not align with opulence.

Malema promised to build a school in Alex for the poorest of the poor in 2019.Can anyone confirm if the EFF indeed build a world class school for the poor in Alex.

Malema helps many people like arts later Zahara Doc Malenga andSherbermix

What people misunderstand is that money in your pocket can buy anything it doesn’t matter whether you are revolutionist or not… You can buy amagwinya from the street or Mc Donalds with the same money, of course people will always complain I meet many people who are not even rich but they carry expensive phones

They is nothing wrong wearing expensive shoes and he's with his family for personal time and just because you represent people doesn't mean you should look poor, they are pastors who look fancy and they still take money from poor people and I think julius done a look for people of SA they should just let him be himself.

Do yall know the watches that Zuma wears...

The EFF voters have no problem with Malema's shoes. It's those that don't vote for EFF that are making unnecessary noises

Yes he can. I do kot see any problem. The guy is successful

Optics mean a lot… Which is why the dress maker should’ve been tagged!

Where does it say revolutionaries must be shabby? Fidel Castro & Che used to rock Rolexes even during their days in the bushes. How about you focus on more important matters?

People are not yet aware that he is a howler

Jamie I’m glad you spoke about this. These anti Malema jobless clowns must realize that whether Malema walks barefooted or wears R28k shoes we will still love and respect him. There is no hypocrisy here because he has never said don’t buy or wear expensive things. He said don’t display wealth in the face of poverty. With that statement, he even acknowledges that he and some others within the EFF are wealthy. Obviously that wealth would show at rich classy events like Durban Fest. He also didn’t post the shoes themselves nor did he post the price. He wasn’t displaying wealth on the face of poverty. He was simply attending a classy rich event. And whether or not he posted the picture, the picture would have been posted by the press anyway.

Malema: dont do as i do, do as i say

Chris Hani died in suburbs living with whites but but he was pro black people and pro African wearing means nothing. Being African loving African people doesn't mean starvation.. people are in Sandton but they're fighting for a good living of people in sharks they don't live with them.. people must understand politics

"Revolutionaries" brought down economies of their own countries in these following countries, Zimbabwe, Cuba, Venezuela etc..then what is a revolutionary? I don't know maybe ask persons displaced from their countries by actions of a revolutionary.

The media likes to point to what the leaders of the EFF wear and eat because they failed to discredit them on the basis of their actions, they failed to discredit them on the basis of their character. CIC does wear these expensive things at rallies where he has to directly interact with us downtrodden. He wore it at DBN July wear there people there wear expensive. CIC grow up poor, he even said he doesn't want to join us in our Alexander shacks he wants us to join him in those Sandton mansions.

Its a one time event seeing Malema wearing such shoes. Why cant he be in his best when attending a ceremony or party. mostly we see malema in ordinary clothes including party T-shirts. To say Malema should not buy good clothese and shoes is not fair. Being a representative doesnt mean just live poor yet you have. What is the point of pretending to be poor yet people know that you are thge wealthiest. Does Elon Mask wearing poor mean he is now poor? Some arguments are dumb. The EFF is doing well in helping the poor. But that does not mean they should not buy and wear what they want if they can afford it.

I don't have a problem with a revolutionary wearing quality clothing and driving a quality car like Haval. But the question is what is quality. I know for sure a R700 Truworths pair of shoes won't last long while a R5k latest Flosheim will last for many years. Is it really necessary to wear a R30k shoe? Will it last for generations even of worn everyday? Is it ok for socialism advocate to drive a R1.5m capitalist Mercedes car instead of a communist R500k Haval?

What if it was a birthday present from his wife or members of his organizations donated to appropriate the job he is doing for the organization.

No contradiction at all. Malema can wear those shoes with pride.

He must also stop criticizing people when they build their mansions of their choice and bank their own money under the matrass bcos he can also buy a pair of shoes worth over 30000. Tshwene ha e pone makopo. This is what politicians are after boasting about designer clothes meanwhile people can't even afford a loaf of bread and we are the ones who are voting for them,even if he started polics early in life, we also started voting early in life so what is the difference

He didn’t steal the land and enslave the entire human race to buy his Gucci. That’s his style and this criticism is too old.

Poverty mentality says if you are African, a genuine African, you must be poor, look poor, live in a dirty township and a small dingy house. Poverty mentality and lack of self-love gets you to criticize those who oppose the narrative and live an exemplary life to which all Africans should aspire for. So Fotsek to self haters. Leave Julius alone.

Malema ideologies makes him to be judged by the people, we black are not stupid some of us are reading books and newspapers. He advocates for Marxism and leninsm but he's worth billions of dollars and stays in Sandton with white people under DA while his voters are black and stay in Alexander township under Eff. My brother his shoes can feed many families in Alexander or take many kids to good schools with only 1 pair of Gucci shoes. Che Guevara and Chris Hani warned us about such revolutionaries, Malema is a capitalists behind the scenes and Socialist in front of your eyes.

Malema is not the problem. The problem is his supporters who compare him to Thomas Sankara

You said it right: “action, empathy, contribution” that’s meaning representation. On what they wear, when and how is truly no one’s business but theirs.

The same person that was wearing a Thomas Sankara T-shirt during campaigns? Personally i do not believe the EFF politics are genuine or they will do what they claim to represent. If you have watched Julius Malema interview with Faith Mangope or Mbuyiseni Ndlozi debate with Herman Mashaba you will pick up an element of classism or insensitivity around ownership and participation in industries like Spaza Shops, Waiters, Truck drivers, general workers.

Okay what must he wear? Clothes/shoes from Shein? We need to grow up... He has money, it's not a secret.

Floyd thinks Cuba is the ideal but meanwhile it is the opposite you can say what you want about sanctions but then you must ask how Fidel managed to have multiple huge yachts and mansions.

Is this his first public appearance since elections? Because I'm searching for his stance now and this is all I see.

H&M in canada is like pep stores cheap and affordable

So what's wrong with what he wears?? Should he dress down to please other? How often does people.in uniform gets to dress up? Wearing a 30,000 rand shoes, what's so wrong with that? He works and earned a salary. If one dresses in uniforms clothes everyday, when he's stepping out for a function, he should dress the best! He should he have "dress down? He had dressed like pauper they would be talks! people of EFF are in uniforms every day so when the occasions arrive, such as going to a GALA, if any members want to put on big SPLASH with expensive outfits, it shouldn't be seen as extravagant, not every day thing, moreover, it's his money? he has right to make a SPLASH ONCE IN A WHILE!! As long as his money is legit' LEAVE THE MAN ALONE! How often does this happen??

Is supporting African designers dressing down. What a wow. 😢Him wearing expensive suits to work, it's okay I guess. But he wears overall to represent those who vote him. Then explain why doesn't he and his wife use the Durban July as an opportunity to show case an African designers, from shoes to accessories. Wants to unite one Africa so we can trade easily. So there is African designers he could have chosen. Give a talented artist a break and make them big. Is he not a sell out for the economic empowerment program he is all about.

The thing is that the wear overalls during parliamentary sitting as a sign of representating the poor ... hypocrites these ones

JM loves the colonial clothes. His wife, colonial nails, eyelashes, gowns

Can you please talk about the alliance of Sahel and analyse the speech of Ibrahim Traore, General Tiani, Colonel Goita.

The problem I have is a man complaining about "white monopoly capital" but spends his money on white owned spaces, goods and services.

If we follow this argument of politicians adjusting their lifestyle to a modest and non-opulent manner then we might as well say they should never attend events like DJ or fancy events.

When you working, you budget for what you want, so he did

😂😂Even boers wear expensive stuff and drive those two tanks cars, simply that they wear non-commercial clothes, but if you look, even their farm clothing in their shops are too pricey.

One thing that people miss is that, Julious has a job and a salary. He uses his money like anybody else to buy himself what he love. It is very narrow minded for people to think a public representative should look poor because they fight for poor people.
