couldn't believe that and teensy government that man works is being killed by the police simply for demoting better wages. i was just a child my family was forced into exile by the apartheid regime. when apartheid was defeated i returned to a free south africa full of hope and optimism is fantastic after a really good like a bit nervous here not. that i really want to expects this a lot of work to be done but people to say that. i want to play my part in that process. the a.n.c. for the country's first democratic elections on a ticket of transforming the lives of black people. they promised decent housing education and other social rights that had long been denied. there was hope at last. the dignity of the black majority would be restored.

but two decades later the americana killings exposed a brutal side of the a.n.c. government. unhappiness with the government was rising. the majority had not been lifted out of potent. many blame the a.n.c. the beloved party that overthrew apartheid for failing to fix their problems. for me and many others the question was is the n.c. still the party of the people and if not. what would replace it.

but it. got my place and i want to. hear from the fact that i think that it was probably. there was that. julius malema was the first politician to visit the miners after the massacre he was a former president of the a.n.c. youth league but had recently been expelled from the party. being encouraged to manage to carry on fighting in soon became a leadership figure in the mining strike. the limo was about to join matic lee changed the political landscape of the country. as we intervene through mother god twenty one community. the bill kept on seeing guys open up and come apart open apart which one folds and we knew what did the demands of the mother gonna work as well actually the demands of would pass all over so that for the. and the

people who is seeing we need in order to need to. lock. them a launched his economic freedom fighters amerikana with a keen eye on the general elections just months away tens of thousands of ainsley used left the a.n.c. and joined my nana. here to all. people. good good it. took them a nurse at birth it just. goes to get it. at the back no doubt she didn't move it just yet it didn't do it just. the way. they. need me to be your mother leave it is

what a tough good well to do. to be judicious it was. just months later the economic freedom fighters stood in their first general election and won six percent of the vote. malema julius with twenty five members a part of the f.-f. was overnight the third largest party those who are taking an old man emanates new m.p.'s dressed in workers' uniforms to remind people they would represent those the a.n.c. had a battle on the negus enough a nation in the same family. and that they were there to challenge the government of americana at every opportunity. and there

were a million. church. when leisurely jews cry. you'll come here. and see the jews to cry. and where the board leads kill people you don't want us to come in here and say the government has killed people that is inconsistent with my little i'm not about my level of instruction to you east we are all i wanted was i didn't want to but i would not tell you i get on. with their own that state to me i maintained the a.n.c. government killed the people in my gun you live me no choice but to ask you to keep most of their income. that now and yet so i think. it. makes sure that that dog is still malema was a master of controversy even back when he was leader of the a.n.c.

youth league he was not someone you want to get on the wrong side of and you know nothing about it in twenty ten when a journalist pointed out that malema a house in a wealthy area he lost to want to come here without a wife tend not to. you can do in some way you don't know you're. going to get a good attitude moving. carrying the whole thing and you can go out yeah you can go out probably you swipe your card conducted. by design and i think you're coming to this crossing party. they've. got this morning boy you can't do it if i didn't come it's because you out. there nobody agent the a.n.c. youth league leader was always known as a radical who wasn't afraid to speak out about the dial living conditions of many

south africans but he was also full of contradictions. and. working class hero wearing designer suits and driving expensive cars takings example from other leaders of the insane who'd become increasingly removed from the people. the kind of extravagance that now from being told you have been associated with seems to undermine your credibility talking on behalf of ordinary clarabridge them the poor yet now may look to buy the poor because i come from a poor big ok but you gotta say you apply if you only see sixty three mo i am very poor compared to those who owns the missile production house to. ten years earlier when malema was still a member of the n c he'd been one of the main supporters of jacob zuma lobbying to get him elected as a.n.c. leader zuma went on to become south africa's president in two thousand and nine.

pounds malema and zuma working class made popular with the poor majority. but zuma was dogged by charges of raping a colleague's daughter and by serious accusations of corruption. malema stood by him throughout his two thousand and six right trial and subsequent to quits and . even when he was accused of corruption zuma was called the people's president. there are you going to think of going to. europe i don't mind. was nowhere near him. what we've got to cut really. really broke to take on our chat with someone. but the people's president didn't deliver undeserving of the gap between rich and poor why didn't even further south africa that was looking at some of the worst inequality

in the world. and two years into xoom his presidency malema his relationship with the president began to deteriorate the radical use league leader was a constant thorn in the leadership side we talk about well when. we don't meet up otoh but we've lived on what we have to look at this way because we know what it means to oh i don't fight to me. we leave that live every day and we're asking for lead us. into a local. and lord for my take on policies and you're not going to we need to talk to. you. you must speak with the district as will be seen. by lenders on

settling those at the top and the a.n.c. repeatedly warned him to rein him. self and it wasn't long ago that he said that he would die for president zuma the same city shifted a little bit fishy i. should say my question see years what are your feelings towards the usually president's. speech in early twenty trials malema is close relationship with zuma finally shattered and he was permanently expelled from the a.n.c. . i was devastated for not displayed clean and good i will never forgive the girlfriend's. name down who died fifty of those shock that's sixty zero posed the african national congress i will never do the old i did see i don't need to construct the events on one african national i will try afghanistan but then

he was not ready to give up on the idea of the a.n.c. but six months later the marikana massacre happened and malema did a complete about turn and announced the launch of the economic freedom fighters this is a thought southeast approach. this is the source others. were to start stop the board pairs but the one third of all people it was as if it was declaring rule from his former party the n.c. political organizations that have led the decolonized nation process usually reach it could a sack twenty twenty five years after they have come to power and this is the moment when new generations that have had nothing to do with the struggle begin to emerge on the social scene. social protagonist

in their own on their own terms. these are also a moment when old prices that have not been resolved. festering and to them added new crisis and both the new and old crisis set on a collision course they call a victory don't fight us is a radical. malema c.f.f. was widely criticized for being idealistic and radical but his policies were not that different from the back when it was still a liberation movement what. is that progress or not the south africa does without. qualities that are. that listeners certain of. malema were stepping into some of the grassroots political space that the n.c.a.

same to have neglected and while many people were suffering fresh corruption scandals emerged involving president zuma and eighteen million dollars of public money spent on upgrading his private family residence in income. all of this was ammunition for malema. two hundred fifty something menu on one. year in soweto digital. really using dead danced which were given to them by our but they did you till today. you ask yourself how many dance can two hundred fifty something million by my name it's been used wrongly. my family's been undermined. even by the very honorable members who don't ask

you don't ask as to what actually happened. and i feel very aggrieved i must tell you for the first time. i've been convicted had. painted black. called the fence class put up to me on facts that are not tested. i took it steps. in kansas kind of came to worldwide attention when the public protector thuli madonsela released a damning report in twenty forty. her agency had been specifically set up under the south african constitution to guard against a tip use of democracy and to report on income ninety two fuel of malema as opposition to the a.n.c. . it is normal calls that in the name of security got the vote for the president and his family in his private. residence

if this it was sent home if that's all it took him down is standing. and he. among us. the president and his family clearly benefited. when should you pay back their money and how much the public protector made the recommendations and the recommendations of the commendations are not bad dates. let commendations recommendations subject to be taken or not taken if there are recommendations. despite the public protect this investigation and outcry from the limb and millions of others the police minister dismissed the public protectors report this state president is therefore not label to pay for any of these three

good features nobody in the n.c. seemed willing to hold the president to account. for many months malema and his opposition party questioned it interrupted president zuma every single time he spoke in parliament but when in february twenty fifth in the annual state of the nation address was june zuma was determined that nobody would interrupt him whatever that took. the twenty fifteen mark sixty years of a story to moment in our history when south africans from all of walks of life adopted the freedom chant. in nineteen fifty five fairly became speakers so it. made a g.p. led amongst others. that south africa when all it would have been as a question of pretty black and white and that you know government can just.

be ice in terms of unless you see ok i don't openly raindance are not able president i'm sorry to interrupt your speech. if the president would not mind just taking a seat so we can listen to injuries on that over members point of order may we. ask the president as to when he is going to pay the money in terms of what to the public protector has faced these house. has to proceed with the business of the state of the nation address being delivered today. which ruler you use it on my own out of i speak up when using all now that i remember was two days a point of thought that they are protected by their i am not going to not be emotional about it or not to put me out as

a rule which gives you power to deny us all i wanted out of my lamb ma i now have to ask that you leave the team that was. right if you want to but she was not going to live chat i'm a lazy one if i don't love being the change i'm not waiting for you have a ham problem but you're on your invitation and i knew it was easier to leave now i'm not going to leave i mean they're dead to be yes we. all saw that this they couldn't see. too. many. to. keep.

we cannot simply allow for police to be allowed to enter this chain but it is a great constitutional violation we want to be here to get the state of the nation not to this but we cannot violate this constitution of the people at this time.
