The hashtag #JuliusMalema has been trending since Tuesday this week. It started trending after many South Africans wondered why the EFF leader, who is usually vocal about everything, was quiet about the Covid-19 vaccine, which many South Africans will soon be taking.
After President Cyril Ramaphosa announced that the country will be rolling out Covid-19 vaccines, the entire country has been buzzing. While many seemed sceptical about it, others were in full support.
Seem that a lot of them would appreciate Julius Malema's opinion on it as they've all flocked to Twitter to find out why he hasn't said anything about it yet. Read a few of their many comments below:

In earlier Briefly.co.za reports, President Cyril Ramaphosa spoke about the rolling out of the Covid-19 vaccine in phases during the Nation's Address on Monday evening. South Africans are now discussing their stance on the vaccine online.
Many SAns are not keen on being vaccinated, stating that the production of the Covid-19 vaccine was "too fast" and that they, therefore, cannot trust it. South Africans are suggesting that the vaccine be "trialled" by government officials before being used on the general public.
#VaccineForSouthAfrica is trending once again on Twitter as tweeps discuss whether or not they want to receive the dose.
