"Malema definitely doesn't fake it nor does he do it for the public, 'if he threatens to kill me I won't give him roses'. The man is accountable for his utterances and he maintains his disposition of not taking nonsense. Respect."

"Julius thank you for this clarity, I saw that, that man provoked you because he left his seat and came to where you were sitting. Indeed there is no roses in war."
