President Cyril Ramaphosa is once again on the receiving end of some less than flattering comments from Julius Malema.

In an explosive social media post, the Economic Freedom Fighter boss dubbed SA's leader nothing less than a b*stard:

"Ramaphosa is the b*stard, and there's nothing all of you, including him, can do."

Briefly.co.za reported that Malema had first uttered the insult on Monday during a speech at a Black Lives Matter protest.

Malema accused Ramaphosa of being adopted by the Mennel family, who had amassed millions in mining and oil:

“This bastard called Cyril sold this country even before he became President. Ramaphosa took Mandela to the Mennel Family. The family that adopted Cyril.”

Malema seized the opportunity to take another jab at Ramaphosa over the infamous Marikana:

“We must start caring about the lives of black people here in Africa first. Anyone who instructed the killing of people in Marikana has no leg to stand on, they cannot claim that black lives matter… We have assisted with the burial costs of Collins Khosa, they now have SA’s best legal minds fighting for justice for his family.”

This less than presidential comment has earned Malema mixed reviews from citizens with some calling for the Red Beret boss to apologize.
