Under Juju ‘lobola will be refundable’ - #IfMalemaWasPresident trends on Twitter

The national elections are still more than two years away‚ but people on social media on Wednesday morning mused about the next president of the country.

More specifically‚ they imagined what the firebrand leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters‚ Julius Malema‚ would do if he took office in the Union Buildings.

#IfMalemaWasPresident trended on Twitter with some people weighing in with serious policy changes‚ some were frivolous‚ and others just nasty.

According to supporters‚ the cost of data would come down‚ e-tolling would be scrapped‚ local manufacturing would be supported‚ and poor service delivery tackled. There would also be some adjustments to the practice of paying for a bride.
