The Red Berets leader said the picket lines were calling out for citizens. He said South Africans should not be allowed to be turned into a “nation of cowards”.
Malema said that the country looks helpless. He also called for citizens to remove the African National Congress (ANC) from power, according to TimesLIVE.

“We are our own liberators, we must remove the ANC from power, but even before that, Ramaphosa must fall with immediate effect and failure to do that, we must push him out of office,” said Malema.
The EFF leader was not the only politician to speak out against Ramaphosa’s leadership. President of the Patriotic Alliance Gayton McKenzie took to Twitter to call out Ramaphosa’s government.
He said the government would not survive another 12 months of loadshedding. McKenzie added that citizens everywhere had enough.
Citizens react to the politician’s remarks
Elias Kobo said:
“That is an undeniable truth. What can he fix? Some of those who support him do so for personal gains but not because he is performing well. Others back him up out of blindness.”
Hsai Martins commented:
“As if everything was running okay before Ramaphosa. Julius must tell the truth and admit that everything was already collapsing decades ago, when he too was still in the ANC, this is nothing new.”
Caswell Ledya Eff posted:
“Everything is falling apart under Ramaphosa and some fools think it'll change. ANC pot will always bring out the same product.”
Moses Ngubeni wrote:
“Whilst on the other hand he (President) is being praised by the media for his 'GOOD' leadership skills.”
Vincent Hlatshwayo added:
“The unfortunate part is that he doesn't mind because he is loaded with dollars, while poor people are losing the little that they had.”
President Cyril Ramaphosa cancels work trip to Davos to solve loadshedding, leaving Mzansi unfazed
Briefly News also reported that President Cyril Ramaphosa’s announcement about cancelling his trip to the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland left South Africans unfazed.
The annual meeting is scheduled to kick off on Monday, 16 January. However, Ramaphosa decided to cancel his trip due to the ongoing power cuts.
According to News24, loadshedding, which was ramped up to Stage 6 last week, will continue for an indefinite period.
