• Julius Malema, the leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters has denied that he is behind the arrest of Operation Dudula leader Nhlanhla Lux Dlamini
• Malema says he was quite surprised to hear about his involvement because he is currently working on his farm in Limpopo
• On social media, South Africans have weighed in on the allegations against Malema's influence on Dlamini's arrest and some believe Malema is intimated by Dlamini

JOHANNESBURG - There have been claims that the arrest of Operation Dudula's leader Nhlanhla Lux Dlamini was a result of the Economic Freedom Fighters, however, the political organisation's leader, Julius Malema has rubbished these claims.

Dlamini was arrested last week Thursday, 17 March and he is now facing charges of housebreaking after he ransacked an elderly man's house on the belief that he was dealing drugs. The man in question is 89-year-old Victor Ramerafe, a former branch secretary of the EFF.

Speaking on a radio interview, Malema stated the charges against Dlamini were not laid by the EFF, however, the political organisation merely accompanied Ramerafe to the Dobsonville Police Station to file charges, reports TimesLIVE.

Dlamini is convinced that Malema is behind his arrest and that allegation Malema stated that he does not have time for small boys.

“I don’t have time for small boys and I don’t want to waste my time on such useless people," said Malema.

The red berets leader says he is currently focused on working on his farm in Limpopo and he is busy monitoring pregnancy tests of cows and was quite surprised to hear the allegations about him in relation to Dlamini's arrest.
