Malema addressed the media just after he left the building, competing with Jacob Zuma’s booming voice to deliver what he called the “real” SONA. His party – the EFF – left on the command of Speaker Baleke Mbete.
This man who is speaking here is the same who has said that he has breached the oath of office.
Looking down at the media, police and support staff, Malema – flanked by Ndlozi and his deputy Floyd Shivambu – addressed the crowd:
Here, you will hear the real state of the nation address.
Zuma had breached the code of his office and deliberately not implemented Public Protector Thuli Madonsela’s remedial actions.
Therefore, you cannot agree as a legitimate leader of a legitimate party, elected by the people on the principal of anti-corruption, agree to be addressed by a criminal, which has admitted that he is a thug, that he has stolen money and he is now prepared to pay back that money.
So we are also are not convinced that Zuma should speak to us, because Zuma has put this government and country in a serious crisis because he appointed three finance ministers within four days. That is unacceptable.
So this is a man who has not put the interests of South Africa first. This is a man who has not protected the Constitution. This is a man who has said the ANC comes first, not the country.
But we had to go inside and say that, to us, he doesn’t exist and we will never respect him.
What we do know is that the action the EFF took in court actually got somewhere so Malema’s threats aren’t that empty.
