The red berets leader stated that some KwaZulu-Natal residents told the EFF that they were forced to return to their flood-ridden homes after they had found alternative land to live on. Malema stated that if the government really cared about the people they would have backed the residents who were occupying the land instead of siding with the owner.

"Now government officials want to race to KZN and pretend to care with their crocodile tears. It's too late, life has been lost," said Malema.

Malema went on to say that for as long as black people in South Africa remained landless then there is no freedom to celebrate adding that political freedom without economic freedom is pointless, reports TimesLIVE.

Malema also highlighted that South African women do not have freedom because they are continuously killed or raped. He went on to say that South African women also have a high unemployment rate.
