We posted a story about Wiekus Kotze not too long ago, when we first caught wind that he could be the first white member of Julius Malema’s EFF.

Well, it seems that poor Wiekus has been put to the social media sword by the furious trolls within the Afrikaner community, who see his allegiance with Malema as “a betrayal of his white skin.”

They told me I was an idiot, a fool, that I was sucking up to black people, that I was a traitor betraying my white skin.

I only ask them: What is a white skin? Is your skin colour making you superior because if you’re saying I’m betraying a white skin, it simply means you still believe a white skin is superior. I’m saying to them you still suffer from a Verwoerd mentality based on the fact you are white and you, your language is Afrikaans.

Kotze claims that he was an ANC member for 16 years, before joining Agang SA. He was, however, subsequently suspended from Agang for fighting to bring “democratic processes” into the party.

He also says he believes in Julius Malema’s “vision”:

Malema has a tremendous understanding of where this country can go. I admire his guts and his fearlessness. You need a person like that to be in Parliament. Julius Malema is gifted.
