Julius Malema's Twitter post attracted a lot of discussion around Bheki Cele's conduct and the position of police commissioner. Many Tweeps made reference to the previous police commissioner, Kehla Sithole, and cautioned General Fannie Masemola against Julius' advice.

"I give u 6 months. You will be singing a different tune. We've been here before. My position is always the same on Cyril Ramaphosa's candidates. He is just a mouth piece and he only deploys Skellembosch compliant people. I will give Masemola a chance, but history is the best teacher."

"Bad advice. Khehla Sithole defied Cele and he was fired by Ramaphosa. So if Masemola also defies Cele, Ramaphosa is going to fire him as well ."

Juju throws shade at Ramaphosa but it backfires

Julius is known for speaking his mind as he made headlines before for his verbal jabs at fellow politicians. According to Briefly News, the EFF leader posted a tweet on Saturday, which suggested the head of state was being influenced into making “stupid decisions” in an attempt to win the elections.

“If @CyrilRamaphosa is not careful, the man will make him do stupid things including convincing him to invite #Beyonce in the name of winning elections.”, Juju’s tweet read.

Now, we are not sure how Malema thought social media users would take his post, but instead of agreeing with him, tweeps pointed out it was a great idea and Ramaphosa would 100% get their backing if he managed to bring Queen B to SA.
