Speaking at the gala dinner, Malema recalled an article about his platinum table selling for over a million. He said the media sarcastically asked who would pay that much to sit at a table with Malema, reports The Citizen.
However, after the success of the gala dinner, Malema had a clap back for the haters and said:
"For those who’ve got an ear and access to them, tell them Malema’s table was sold three times more than we had expected as the leadership of the EFF."
Malema's controversial friend Adriano Mazzotti sat at his platinum table
Malema also addressed the elephant in the room by speaking about his friend, alleged cigarette smuggler Adriano Mazzotti.
Mazzotti was one of the business people who joined Malema and his wife, Manto, at the platinum table. TimesLIVE reports that Juju told attendees he is not ashamed of the EFF's association with Mazzotti.
He explained that Mazzotti was there at the formation of the EFF and even gave them R650 000 to register as a political party with the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC).
He explained that if Mazzotti did not foot the bill, they wouldn't have been able to contest in the 2014 elections because he and Floyd Shivambu didn't have the money.
“We are very proud of Adriano Mazzotti and are not ashamed to associate with him. We don’t know his business because he’s not our business partner,” Malema said.

"That's it, Julius Malema has won me over. Not just in politics but in life. How he managed to rise from the ashes when he was expelled from the ANC is a lesson in perseverance that we all can admire, appreciate and hopefully emulate. Salute. #EFFGalaDinner"
