When asked why he was driving so fast, Malema replied that it’s because he is a born revolutionary, and that he needed to experience revolution. “At 215km/h, my engine is turning at 6500 revolutions per minute.”

According to Malema this tendency to limit speed is a roadblock on the way to total emancipation. “What good is having political freedom, or even economic freedom, if we don’t have the freedom to drive fast?”

Johannesburg – Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema was still in police custody at 23:00 on Thursday night after he was arrested for speeding, Gauteng traffic police said.

“Malema is still in custody and it is unclear on whether he would be granted bail tonight,” spokesperson Busaphi Nxumalo said.

“This is because he was driving 215km/h in a 120km/h zone so the station commander can not grant bail because of the excessive speed.”

Malema was arrested by the high speed unit in the Vaal on the N1 and was charged with reckless and negligent driving and for exceeding the general speed limit.

EFF leader Julius Malema has lambasted President Jacob Zuma, saying he must get the cows he built a R1m kraal for at Nkandla, to vote for him.

Its been a while since we’ve updated this site and during that time our favourite comrade has rise and fallen and well, continues to fall harder then ever.

While insisting on nationalizing mines and farms, it seems pretty ironic that his own farm has been ‘nationalized’ by the government for a variety of tax problems

this from TimesLive

julius Malema’s farm has been nationalised. The Asset Forfeiture Unit seized his Limpopo farm yesterday after he failed to oppose a Pretoria High Court order granted to SARS in December.According to National Prosecuting Authority spokesman Medupe Simasiku, the unit was granted a forfeiture order for the farm on Monday. The registered owner is Gwama Properties, a business of Malema confidant Lesiba Gwangwa.

The NPA alleges that the farm belongs to Malema.

“It is noteworthy that the unit’s application was opposed neither by Mr Gwangwa nor his company, Gwama Properties, nor by Mr Malema, who is alleged to be the real owner,” Simasiku said.

The farm was part of “a money-laundering scheme”, he said.

Granting a freeze order on the farm on December 5, the high court ruled that the farm was bought with funds acquired through theft, fraud and corruption, or that the property had alternatively been used to launder money, Simasiku said.

The SA Revenue Service applied to have the expelled ANC Youth League leader’s assets sequestrated to recoup a R16-million tax debt.

According to SARS’s court application, Malema’s Ratanang Family Trust was to purchase a farm, Schuilkraal, but it was instead purchased by Gwama Properties.

According to the founding affidavit of SARS senior manager for tax and customs enforcement investigations Pieter Engelbrecht, “. the deed of sale was cancelled by the trust and a new deed of sale was entered into, in terms whereof the property was to be purchased for the same purchase consideration by Gwama Properties, the shareholder being Guilder Investments, and which entity is linked to L Gwangwa”.

Engelbrecht said Malema “consented in writing that the monies deposited to the transferring attorneys’ trust account, in lieu of the purchase consideration on behalf of the trust, may be used as payment of the purchase consideration on behalf of Gwama Properties”.

Malema is charged with fraud and racketeering in connection with the allegedly irregular awarding of a R52-million Limpopo roads and transport tender to On-Point Engineers, of which Gwangwa is CEO.

Public Protector Thuli Madonsela found last year that Malema’s Ratanang trust was paid more than R2-million by On-Point Engineers.

It is not known whether Malema will ask the court to be allowed to file his affidavit opposing the sequestration. He had given notice of his intention to do so but missed the deadline.

Mbeki pulled no punches on Tuesday as he spoke on the political and economic state of the country and his concerns over the direction it was taking.

“The ANC is not the future of the country. We should stop obsessing about the ANC. The ANC has ceased to be the future of South Africa if it continues (as it has been),” he told the Cape Town Press Club. “We have to ask ourselves now: who is the future of the country?”

He said there was a steep decline in the calibre of ANC leaders. The emergence of the “song-and-dance brigade, like Zuma and (ANC Youth League president) Julius Malema, who claim to be leaders”, indicated there was a lack of intellectual and visionary leaders but also leaders of sound morals and values.

He dismissed Malema as insignificant and spoke bluntly about Zuma’s reluctance to act on the recommendations of the public protector after investigations into the leases for two police headquarters.

“I don’t really think much of Julius. I don’t think he’s an important factor… Julius likes to compare himself with the (ANC leaders) of the ‘40s… there’s no comparison, absolutely no comparison,” said Mbeki.

“Up to now the ANC has been led by leaders from that time, they don’t have that – now we have the song-and-dance brigade like Zuma and Julius, who claim to be leaders.”

On Sunday, Afrikaner rights group AfriForum laid a charge of corruption against Malema after revelations of a secret trust, of which he is the sole trustee, which allegedly operated as a conduit for cash paid by business people in exchange for help from the ANC Youth League president in securing tenders and push political agendas.

Malema faces multiple probes into his financial dealings, and has to explain himself to the ANC.

Mbeki said that throughout his tenure Zuma had been criticised by commentators, opposition parties and from within the tripartite alliance as being soft on corruption and for his inability to take bold decisions.

“Zuma has neither the will nor the ability to change the situation… The report released by the public protector last week, Zuma hasn’t done anything yet.

“He says he’s studying it, but all of us know what’s in the report,” said Mbeki.

Politicians, he said, would not create competition for themselves and it was up to citizens to jolt them into action by using their vote to punish or reward them.

However, he said, citizens were “happily marching and dancing to the edge of the cliff with no one caring about where we are going”.

“Blatant corruption” was taking place at the ANC’s investment arm, Chancellor House, he said, with reference to the multibillion-rand deal with Hitachi Power Africa, which in 2007 jointly won a contract with its parent body to supply Eskom with boilers for its two new power stations, Kusile and Medupi.

He slammed the ANC’s model of racial preference, including black economic empowerment, as a tool which had been used to benefit an elite group.

“It (racial preference) was a disaster with the National Party and it’s a disaster now,” said Mbeki.

He said South Africans were living off mineral wealth, which was in decline and unsustainable.

Countries such as South Africa – middle-incomers – were the casualties of globalisation, while big players such as the US and poorer countries which had huge populations and markets were the biggest winners.

Old industrial practices and management systems like those of the mining industry, which still had same-sex hostels, were to the detriment of the economy.
