Malema told News24 last week that EFF does not want to work with the DA because they are headed by John Steenhuizen.

Lamola is vying for the ANC deputy president position alongside Paul Mashatile. The justice minister feels like Malema's utterances could interfere with the party's internal politics.

"These are the kind of characters that must never guide the ANC. The ANC must be guided by its policies, its resolutions and its tactics".

"Malema would make a great president because he changes his mind, I am sure even when corrupt he would change his mind & say we're not doing corruption anymore, unlike the consistent ANC led government".
