CAPE TOWN - Members of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) have demanded the redistribution of land owned by businessman Johann Rupert while handing over a list of demands.

The billionaire has two weeks to respond to the demands and is urged to execute measures to expedite the fair redistribution of his land.

The EFF marched to Rupert’s farms in Stellenbosch and Mpumalanga on Wednesday, April 6 on the anniversary of Jan Van Riebeek’s arrival to Cape Town. Malema also enquired about the number of properties that Rupert’s family owns and how they came into possession of the land, according to Eyewitness News.

@ThinkFoYourself commented:

“If that amounts to slander, surely Mr Rupert must be seeing his lawyers by now?”

@Zoomer62503227 shared:

“I suggest that Mr Rupert lay defamation charges against this Malema character. The more we put the cult leader in his place, the better!”

@Nompu90570329 said:

“Hands of Rupert, we love our wine.”

@G_King18 posted:

“Down with Rupert, down with the political funding Oppenheimer, down with land thieves and down with the ANC for protecting and preserving white dominance for 3 decades in SA.”
