Malema makes election prediction

According to TimesLIVE, Malema said there would be loadshedding on the day the votes from the 29 May general elections would be counted. The votes would then be stolen. He added that Eskom would implement Stage 6 loadshedding.

Malema's words came a week after he defended the Independent Electoral Commission's integrity. He also said in February that the elections would not be rigged and defended the IEC's election structures. His recent words, which he spoke in Reiger Park in Ekurhuleni, suggest a different tone.

"They must find you ready. That's why I'm telling you this. I'm preparing you. I know these crooks," he said.
