Backhanded compliments from Malema: iLIVE
Julius Malema has the rare quality of being disrespectful while apparently being respectful. When he refers to Jacob Zuma as President Zuma, he makes it sound simultaneously deferential and insolent, all in one sentence.
It is as if addressing Zuma by his proper title repulses him. But who could accuse Malema of disrespect when he gives Zuma his proper dues? Malema is a wily politician.
