Malema also responded to community members who complained that coloured people are not part of the country's democratic dispensation. A member of the community criticised the Employment Equity Act and claimed it states that only 5% of coloured people can work in factories and called for an end to racial policies.
Malema relates to coloured communities
Malema said that government departments and workplaces that do not have coloureds in the workforce cannot be a representation of the democratic South African society.
"Your problems are my problems. I want your children to be liberated and be part of those communities that are prospering."
