Malema, who was being interviewed on the BBC's World Service in London on Monday evening, said his expulsion was being contested by structures of the African National Congress, Independent Online reported.

He said the ANC's elective conference in Mangaung in December would be used to overturn it.

"When we remove President [Jacob] Zuma in December, it will be an automatic overturning of that decision," he was quoted as saying.

Malema said people were still committed to him even though he had been expelled by the ANC, because he was "leading a revolution in South Africa for economic emancipation".

This was "close to the hearts of the people" of both South Africa and Africa, according to the report.

He said his relationship with ANC veteran Winnie Madikizela-Mandela worried the ANC.

"I am still very close to her, which worries some in the ANC who thought that by expelling us they would succeed in isolating us, and they have not succeeded."

According to the report, Malema said former president Nelson Mandela would be "very happy" with him as, while still young, Mandela had changed an ANC "of gentlemen" into a "fighting force".

This boy must surely be doing more damage to Blade Nzimande's toad-like face.

He just wont go away, like a smell next to the dump site. Like they do in KZN, they will now plot to eliminate him permanently. that how kzn comrades (some of them) deal with political foes. Hooligans through and through.

I wish.....I wish and I wish. This reminds me of Adolf Hitler, when we (was personally there) besieged Berlin, raining bombs left, right and centre, he was still of the view that the German army from somewhere was going to relieve Berlin. When you are down and out....you are down and out. The only place for you is the garbage heap of history.

You are finished my man. Even if Zuma gives Mothlante a chance, I don't think Mothlante will take you back. Probable Sexwale is the only person that you can cross your fingers for, but I don't see Sexwale ruling any time soon. I will be disappointed on Mothlante if he can take you back.
