After 7 years, I receive this message as if it is spoken today. The man is the type of leader Africa needs.
Julius Malema, should be president of South Africa and eventually the president of Africa Union.

A living legend... You're my hero.. Rooting for you from Nigeria and I believe I'll see you someday... AFRICA MUST BE GREAT and we will write our own story for the world to glean

[abiodunolajide]

I looked at Nigerian Parliament and I feel very sorry for that country bc we don't have anyone a mile close to this guy in terms of dedication to love of d people, oratory coherence, clarity of purpose and ideas, fearlessness in face of threats. Our politicians are all crooks and criminals who are selfish and care not for the welfare of the masses. Nigeria needs a Malema....so badly!

[johnmwai]

Listening from USA 🇺🇸, Julius Malema is an icon in Africa .This man is very genuine in whatever comes from his mouth and Africa needs such a president who knows the pains of the common man unlike the village fools our electorate elect to government positions.It’s a high time we elect leaders with integrity like Julius Malema who speaks the truth no matter how bitter or how bad it rubs peoples nerves.
