Julius Malema defended Xola Moni says whenever a black child accumulates wealth there's a gnashing of teeth
*In defence of our economic freedom fighters* Immediately after the conclusion of the successful ANCYL's congress in Midrand in June this year , white people who don't share a progressive vision of this new South Africa (hiding under the banner of Transvaal Agricultural Union and Afriforum) wanted to have an audience with the Minister of Rural Development and Land Reform Mr Gugile Nkwinti to seek assurances that the resolutions of the ANCYL's congress of " expropriation of land with compensation" were quite innocuous on the side of government and that their land won't be tampered with. As it is the wont of our government to listen to the concerns of its citizens without race discrimination they were given an audience with the Honourable Minister who then assured them that "he spoke to Malema about the resolutions of ANCYL regarding the ‘expropriation of land without compensation' and that they need not to fear anything since resolutions were of the ANCYL and not of the government. As young black people of this land we are constantly sent from pillar to post when we want to raise our societal issues direct to our ministers and we'll be told "you can't see the minister" rather talk to her/his PA who'll talk to the minister and then revert you for feedback". However, because our country is still playing a sweet heart role in terms of nursing race relations one would assume that white people are being given much audience because we don't want to be perceived by other countries as neglecting them. So strange but true nhe! Hardly a month after the ANCYL congress, a clique or must I say a sectarian group of racist white people who continue to pinch themselves every time they wake up to the rule of a black government, sought every possible manner to discredit our President of ANCYL Comrade Julius Malema by peddling a wad of canards about his lifestyle. Just recently our president was a laughing stock of the nation about his academic results and now it's about his lifestyle, wealth and nothing is being said about him being given kudos for enrolling at Unisa to further his studies. This cabal is drawing strength from other people who suffer from a "Ja Baas mentality" and they think they can convince our masses that our leaders are "endo parasites". It's not surprising that this sectarian clique has decided to utilize media to discredit our black leaders in particular through peddling such canards. In this country every time a black child climbs a ladder of success, it is then concluded that something sordid is happening around his/her life. What happens then is the trial through the media and all our lives would be bared in public for all people to see that black people are corrupt and they can't be trusted. This is the daily life that we constantly endure as young black people in this country. Allow me dearest reader to liken our media as a "semi-permeable membrane that allows certain molecules to pass through". I'm saying this because of the inconsistency of reporting by the media with particular reference to the so called exposé by *City Press* of Comrade Malema. The issue of a trust in his name has been of late an "albatross on his neck" not to mention that he was once a shareholder in a close corporation. The media has thus found him to be guilty of owning a family trust. I guess it's so strange to be "persona non grata"in your country of birth. I'm left asking myself a question about why the media is not doing any lifestyle audits through the media to young white people who continue to amass wealth through family trusts while having a mere Standard 5 certificate. Most of them are beneficiaries of the trust of their forefathers and they own vast land that they stole from black people and when we raise such issues we are being cautioned not to play a blame game on apartheid. It's also a known fact that many people of this sect have offshore investments yet they never worked anywhere but when a black child accumulates wealth there's a gnashing of teeth. Allow me to submit to you all that as the youth of this country we'll leave no stones unturned in defending our President Comrade Malema as he has been mandated by us to champion "economic freedom in our lifetime". We can't afford to be spectators in a game that we should be playing. This we'll do with all people and races who share a progressive vision of this rainbow country. As for those who are stumbling blocks in our path to economic freedom they should make use of their dual citizenship and go to Australia where they'll find their bread buttered on both sides. Lastly but not least as the youth this country we would like to thank all media houses for enhancing the profile of our leader Comrade Malema through the so called " exposure of dodgy dealings", thanks for free marketing. Indeed the struggle continues, Aluta ! Continua! *Xola Moni is a freelance writer based in Ginsberg Township* -- You are subscribed. This footer can help you.
