Ngizwe Mchunu has apologised in response to the criticism he received for making racist remarks during his address to EFF leader Julius Malema.

Ngizwe verbally attacks Julius Malema

The former Ukhozi FM presenter confronted Julius Malema after he criticised the Springbok's World Cup Win. The media personality said he should celebrate the Bokke instead of looking for ways to bring the boys down.

He also mentioned that if he wants to criticise them, then he should not use English as his medium. Instead, he should address his issue in his mother tongue.

His message was, however, laced with profanity and a lot of insensitive remarks towards Julius's tribe.

The letter was shared by @MDNnewss:

Ngizwe apologises for his tribalistic statement

The outspoken personality issued a written apology in IsiZulu where he apoliogised to those he offended. But, his apology was not directed at Julius Malema and that is what angered Mzansi.

Many people said Ngizwe should make a video as well.

@Lethabo4991

The EFF president made a strong stance against the financial institutions involved and called for more transparency.

South Africans chimed in on Julius Malamema's take on the banks, and many did not mince their words either.
