South Africa’s Julius Malema celebrates 10 years of the EFF

Derided by his critics as a populist and a political demagogue, Mr Malema was once the leader of the youth wing of the ANC, where he played a pivotal role in catapulting Jacob Zuma to the presidency but later the two fell out, leading to Mr Malema’s expulsion. As EFF leader, he was a major figure in the anti-Zuma campaign after an inquiry found the then president breached his office by using government to upgrade his private residence.
