Sizwe Dhlomo pokes fun at Malema’s courtroom behaviour
Taking to his official X (Twitter) account, the Kaya FM host reacted to a clip of Malema avoiding talking in court.
Dlomo jokingly suggested that Malema was not speaking because he had muthi under his tongue in a bid to get a favourable ruling, something that Kaizer Chiefs legend Mike “Sporo” Mangena was previously accused of. The post was captioned:
“Impande ihleli ngaphansi kolimi. Lol! (I am sure the root is beneath the tongue)”
