The politician who brought South Africa the words “tjatjarag” and “Zupta” has introduced another saying to the lexicon of the country.
“Parliament is no longer a sleeping place. All sleepists now are awake‚” Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema told supporters at his party’s manifesto launch ahead of the upcoming local government elections.
“Even Zuma used to sleep in parliament. Today the old man is awake.”
Malema preceded this with thanking the one million people who had voted the EFF into Parliament.
“We’re doing better than all political parties in Parliament. The 25 EFF MPs sound like they are 250.
“We found them in parliament complaining about Nkandla. We said to you that we’ll stop the Nkandla corruption. We stopped it.”
He also said: “We’re shaking parliament. We’re converting that parliament into parliament of the people of SA... We want parliament to reflect Marikana and Mothutlung.”
Commenting on the party’s adoption of red berets to depict revolutionary politics and manual labourers coveralls‚ he said: “We wear overalls because parliament to us is a work place.”
