A South African TikTok creator known as @uncle_mkhulu has directed a pointed message at EFF leader Julius Malema, questioning his behaviour surrounding the Madlanga Commission. The video, posted on 1 August 2026, quickly gained traction as many viewers voiced their agreement.

In the clip, Uncle Mkhulu breaks down what he sees as telling signs of anxiety in Malema's recent public conduct. He argues that arriving at a press conference with prepared speeches, issuing warnings, and publicly defending figures such as Fhadiel Adams are not the actions of someone who feels secure. His view is straightforward: a person with nothing to hide cooperates openly with legal proceedings and does not attempt to set conditions or come out swinging.
