You see Bongani, there you also go again and just proved my point, getting all political and racial against white people. Poor Mr Nelson Mandela had a dream for a rainbow nation and a nation in unity (From a black point of view). But its seems all lost in the black youth of today. Always have a political and racial comment against white people no matter what the reason.

If you can read, and i suppose you can due to your comments, this article is about Malema and not being a white racist, so which part of the article don't you understand? Its about questions the Mr Malema himself does not want to answer and not any racist remarks from white people.

Get the point?!? If you don't ill draw you some pictures, oh and no, im not being a racist im trying to get you to understand the point the article is about.

Malema is one of the problems that need to be sorted out and he was very quick to "pounce" on the DA for the toilet saga but to stupid to realize they have done worse.

Cosatu joined Afriforum in calling for an investigation into Malema's secret fund.

Well said Naidoo A, these racists failed to bring charges against hele zille for raking in millions(she still does) in 2 salaries, when it's white corruption it's ok for them. The DA received money from the "corrupt Guptas" during the elections, not a single one of the media houses and the afriforum raised a stink, but when it's "black corruption" they quickly go to the courts. They are a pathetic, racist organisation obsessed with Malema and black people, they do not belong in SA and has no future here.

White racists and these afrikaner thugs deserve everything they are giug thru here in SA. U are all racists and will neva chnge

it appears that whilst Malema might have his issues, his constant vilification by the right wingers and their surrogate press, whilst blatantly ignoring the corrupt and exploitative practices of whites, only serves to get Malema sympathy. it's a pity

Although I agree that Afriforum are total nitwits for doing this, I disagree that it's only the whites in this country being racist. That statement is by itself racist.

If no one lifts an eyebrow at organizations like the BMF then surely in interest group championing for the other "team" is also allowed. Oh but hold on, I forget it's racist. o_0

Fact is that racism will trouble our country evermore whilst there are rules and regulations in place to treat groups differently based on race.

In a healthy democracy the opposition exists to keep the ruling party in check and on their toes; irrespective of race. Hence if someone in the DA is indeed guilty of corruption then surely apart from the journalists it is also the duty of the ANC to bring that to light - just as the opposite is happening. Plus if you complain that the media is biased then please don't forget who pulls the strings at the SABC.

So back to geniuses Afriforum; instead of providing Malema with "struggle points" they should simply give the joker enough rope to hang himself. Really, he seems to be doing a stunning job of it without any help.

Public figures get public scrutiny

This is why we investigate Juju

"In turning down ANC Youth League president Julius Malema’s attempt to interdict City Press yesterday, Judge Colin Lamont also affirmed that the youth leader is a public figure – not the private citizen he has claimed to be this week.

Malema said any probing of his private affairs was unjustified as he is a private person not paid by the public purse. But Judge Lamont said that while Malema had a right not to be defamed, “he is a high profile public figure ... he has made controversial statements at times.

“At present, there is a discussion in the press concerning whether or not his income justifies his expenses.

“The question of Mr Malema’s income is topical and relevant ... the public is entitled to have full disclosure by persons who stand in a public position, who are high profile personalities (and) who invite comment about themselves.”

Quoting case law and legal authors, the judge added that by his personality, status and conduct, Malema had exposed himself to such a degree of publicity that intrusions into his private sphere were justified.The interdict attempt therefore failed.

It is City Press’s view that Malema has an über-role in South African national life.
Research by Media Tenor reveals that Julius Malema has the second highest media profile in South Africa – pole position is held by President Jacob Zuma.

This is often attributed only to his media profile but he is no more a media construct than the founding president, Nelson Mandela.Malema has crafted his persona on a blend of raw populism and significant political nous to reach the point he this week described.

“I am the only national political figure who can go into the squatter camps,” he told a news conference geared to respond to a growing list of questions about how someone who earns no more than a deputy minister can sustain his life of opulence.Malema’s view – that because he is not paid by the public purse or elected by the public, and that therefore we can have no interest in his personal affairs – is simplistic.

The legal author, J Neethling, has argued that “the fact that a person is a public figure ... diminishes his or her right to privacy ... public figures are persons who, by virtue of their status, office, occupation, grant the public a legitimate interest in information regarding not only their public life ... but also to a certain extent their private lives ... publication of private facts concerning persons who deliberately expose themselves to the limelight will be easier to justify than the publication of private facts concerning persons living largely in seclusion”.

Malema does not live in seclusion. He plays politics loud and large; he parties loud and large; he lives large.Moreover, he is president of the ANC Youth League, which is in power, if not in office.

Because of the league’s effective lobbying, its campaigns and positions have morphed into policy deliberations and are very likely to result in changes to the law.

His positions have shaped relations within the tripartite alliance. He is not a man of the times but the man of the times. You cannot court the interest, influence and attention of the public, seek to shape the state of the nation and then shut off communication when it becomes inconvenient.

Malema lives in inconvenient times now.

While he presents himself as a man of the poor and paints a picture of a person heavily mortgaged to the capitalist banking industry who has never seen a million in his life, the truth is somewhat different. He has knocked down his Sandown home and is building another, much better, one.

We reveal today that Malema also has a Limpopo farm, bought for cash.

He has a garage full of cars that total millions in value.

He changes his cars as often as he changes his watches, which are of near similar value. Who wants to be a millionaire?

How did Malema get this wealthy and why is it in the public interest?He is the ultimate political patron, a man who leverages his obvious political talents and his magnificent networks to a personal end.

Then he plays the Robin Hood who gives to the poor – Malema has used his contacts to have a home built for the athlete, Caster Semenya, and his family trust has built a church.

He and his network of young entrepreneurs play the tender system like the most dexterous of capitalists. Last year City Press began to reveal how Malema’s companies had won massive tenders. Faced with an outcry he has changed business strategy. Now he allegedly secures tenders for others, who pay him a commission into a trust.Why is this in the public interest?

Tenders are public money which we, the public, can still follow even when it enters private pockets, according to a recent judgment of the Supreme Court of Appeal.This is not to suggest any impropriety but to make the point that Malema is acquainted and influential in the state tendering system.

He is a known beneficiary thereof and to follow the public money trail is in the public interest even after it is paid to private tenderpreneurs.

The South African Revenue Service is involved in a lifestyle audit of Malema.

Senior leaders in South Africa have noted that the state tender system can do with more, and not less, public oversight.

Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan has pointed to weaknesses, as have Auditor-General Terence Nombembe, and the SACP leader, Blade Nzimande, who is also a Cabinet minister."

Listen, im so sick of black people always accusing white people of being a "Racist" that it still makes me rather sick after almost 20 years of black rule and empowerment. Really, get over it and get a life mate. Or get out of South Africa if you are still not happy and successful. It's 2011 and not 1980 for goodness sake. Always a "Racist" comment on your behalf and it's kind of giving me the idea you have nothing else to say. If a man or woman has something to hide such as Malema and he does not want someone else to know then i would think something is wrong and that its fair to look into, or am i incorrect or being a "Racist" in this regard???. And if a man such as Malema publicly state that all whites should leave this country then ill have an even bigger problem with racist statements like that. I/we have a right to be in this country and nothing will ever change that so get it in to your think and rather dumb head, we are here to stay!!!!!!!!

No, have a nice day,
Kind regards,
WhiteBoer!

Wahoo! It looks like we are slowly moving back to racial polarisation of SA society. Corruption is not seen as corruption or crime depending on which racial group you belong to. White corrupt people are able to cover their tracks? Is indeed? Reading these comments it sounds like some people are longing for the old good days of white supremacy to come back. Pity! those days are gone. It is time for the sons and daughters of domestic workers and garden boys, to have good times rolling. But not in stupid way that Malema goes about it.

I think the problem with white people is that they live in constant fear (hoarding supplies before elections; legs wide open as dual citizens; having arsenals in their households) and as part of their political strategy, they want to be seen to be offering solutions to the country's problems through a divide and dilute strategy. If these white bastions of power are serious about normalising SA after years of brutal corruption, then they should raise their hands and tell us who, how and when benefitted from apartheid. Now, it seems as if corruption is a black construct when whites turned a blind eye when this country was looted and all the resources were their preserve.

No matter how much you trample on people's pride, SA belongs to all who live in it and those from rhodesia should finish their journey by crossing the seas, as I know the antarctic is not yet colonised. Whilst we are still at it they might as well take poor and white cousins along to the promised land because SA is not.

The only card racists, liars, crooks and cheats like Malema and co. can play is the racist card. So blame it all on the white man. No wonder whites overseas are burdened with white guilt. With colonialism, slavery, globalisation etc.

However in SA we know the truth. Malema, Zuma783 and Cele(ebe) are corrupt beyond measure.
