SA weighs in after Sizwe Dhlomo reacts to Malema

In the comment section, South Africans were divided into two camps: one supporting Julius Malema and another condemning his actions. While some shared the same sentiments as Dhlomo, others criticised Malema and suggested that he should be suspended in light of his guilty verdict.

Here are some of the comments:

@Mditshwer suggested:

“But he must have been suspended in everything as he prepares for jail time.”

@gob2soon said;

“The day people understand that parliament is a policy framework is the day when people will learn how to hold their leaders accountable. ‘I might not be a lawyer, but I'm a lawmaker’ - Hon. JS Malema.”

@RealMTshabalala claimed:

“Why run an ad hoc committee at the same time as the commission. Parliament brought this on themselves. This was a clear attempt to undermine the commission and President Ramaphosa. The plan is for Parliament to come to a different conclusion from the commission to discredit its findings.”

@zakhele_mboyane disagreed:

“He's wrong. Nothing stops a committee from using a document from another commission or even a court.”

@ntsebezoM gushed:

“He has always been CORRECT. If one can listen carefully without any hurry, without any hate, without any political affiliation, without any anger issues, without any programmed mind, without any slave mentality and without any intellectual poverty.”

@kgotsomaphike asked:

“So did they expect him to rewrite evidence that he's already deposed of?”
