Julius Malema has once again stirred up some hilarious commentary on social media after telling two disgruntled judges to 'voetsek'. The EFF leader really let the local magistrates have it at a recent Judicial Services Commission interviews.

Malema first stirred the pot when he accused judge Dhaya Pillay of being biased and unduly influenced by the ruling party.
'You are nothing but a political activist. You are no judge and you deserve no high office... You are factional and belong to Pravin's faction and you're pursuing factional battles... will I be fair in that criticism?" Malema savagely remarked during the court proceedings.
It's clear Juju's words must have struck a nerve because not long after, 82 of the commission's judges got together slamming the politician's treatment of their colleagues.
"They can voetsek," was Malema's hilarious response to the triggered judges.

Social media users were definitely laughing at all the drama. While some agreed with the EFF leader's standpoint, others took the time to share their own public criticisms. Check out some of the comments below:
@TmadTi said:
"Wena o violent, I wonder o jwang ka tlung moo dulang."
@GogodaSonto said:
"You made them so uncomfortable."
@Ribes_L found the whole exchange hilarious:
"Yerrrr.. So they are hurt by this?"
@GloAfrica_Group said:
"An angry man this one."
@mtsbolz defended the politician:
"Who will not be angry, when our people are still leaving in poverty and were sold out by the current head of state during CODESA?"
@samokopane had some stern words:
"If it was a white person uttering the 'voetsek' word it would have been labelled as racist. Now because it is said by Juju it is appropriate. I will always say that Julius Malema is a great leader save for the fact he is too personal and has no sense of self-contradiction.”

Meanwhile, Briefly News previously reported that Mmusi Maimane and Julius Malema recently exchange virtual blows after Maimane threw shade at South Africa's various political parties. While no specific names were mentioned, it was easy to tell that the party that "fuels anger" was Malema's party, the EFF, and Malema knew this too.
"The political parties are the biggest impediment to our progress. One party needs to stop looting, one needs to go to school, one needs to stop fuelling anger. The people need good governance and delivery. In this article I provide a solution," Maimane wrote in his tweet.
"Have courage," Malema responded to the tweet, which prompted this response from Maimane:
"Izapha Julius. This country cannot be led merely by the angry. We need people who want to truly return power to the people and not to take power from the ANC and then give it to themselves. That’s why direct elections are important. They empower the community. Not the party."
Many highly entertained South Africans had this to say about the two politicians' little exchange: @Lesige_ said:
"If you really care about black people, donate all your salary to the poor for a year."
@afirikanman said:
"But Mmusi if he is not angry as a black person in this country, he has a serious problem. No one is fuelling anger, we're just angry."
@ThaboMofuli87 said:
"But Mmusi didn't say anything about individuals. He's talking about the political parties. Motho o leqhoko eo."
