According to reports, former president Nelson Mandela had a meeting with Julius Malema last weekend at the former Presidents Qunu home, near Umtata. This meeting took place the same weekend that Madiba made an appearance at an ANC rally. Former ANC Youth League leader, Fikile Mbalula who is thought to be one of the architects of getting Madiba to the ANC rally in the Eastern Cape, says that “Malema had not met Mandela before. When I introduced him as the president of the ANC Youth League, Madiba said: ‘Oh, this is the man who talks a lot and is very famous’.” Your guess is as good as mine as to what Mandela and Malema talked about. How I wish I was a fly on the wall in that meeting.
Mandela was also the Youth League leader for the ANC in its early days so I am sure he would have had a lot of advice and wise words to share with the current ANC Youth League Leader. The fact that Mandela knows that Malema ‘talks a lot and is very famous’ means that Mandela has more than likely heard all about Malema and what he has been up to. Maybe Mandela just gave him a quiet word in the ear and told Malema to calm down and watch what he says for the sake of the party.
What do you think Mandela may have said to Malema?
ppl should leave our grand father in peace.He played his role n evry1 knws hw gr8 he is,so give him a break n take him out of politicts
MADIBA WILL REMAIN ANC MEMBER IF AVAILBLE WHY NOT ATTANDING ANC FUNTIONS. AS MEMBERS OF ANC WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE TO SEE MADIBA IN PERSON. STOP MAKING ISSEU OUT OF NOTHING
It daznt matter what Mandela said to Malema, the bottom line is that they are both ANC members (and in good standing). S WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW IS THAT MANDELA WAS CPIKING SMTHING CONSTRCTIVE TO HIM
Mandela will not publicly criticise the firebrand ANC youth leader….just as Mandela never criticized Mugabe’s actions. It’s all very well us accepting Mandela as a man of peace with the best will for ALL South Africans at heart, but if he can’t come out and denounce a man calling for white farmers to be MURDERED, then is he deserving of our respect…and is the ANC really any different to the Apartheid governments? If Malema gets power, and he very well could one day, South Africa will be the new Zimbabwe…and next time someone argues that the black man is incapable of ruling his own house, I doubt I will be able to conjure any more counter-arguments. Here’s to a true coalition black/white party, and the end of the rotten ANC.
mandela wouldve told him to stop fighting for one race and fight for the nation, mandiba making promises of wealth that will never be fufilled, mandela fought for this country to be one.Although in the past the white people were cruel, there were millions that voted for mandela and wanted a united nation. mandeba forgets that white people to didnt like what was happening. i find it very naive and injustive how he detroying our beautiful country for his own well being, a president should put his WHOLE nation infront of himself! i love mandela and zuma has done a good job in keeping this country sane and united. I just hope that the past does not become the present again, the last thing we need is fighting.Good always overcomes evil and no matter what happens this country will still be one of the most beautiful places to live. i just wish that instead of being angry, and going through the process of reconciliation again they will think clearly and notice that their are much bigger problems in this country. Poverty, unemployment, disease. they should put thier heads to better use instead of thriving on the past.
