@NalaThokozane posted a video of Malema speaking during the Ground Forces Forum, which was held on 19 August. Among the topics Malema touched on was Floyd Shivambu's resignation.

Shivambu was not the only thing on his mind. Juju railed against those who opposed former Miss Sa contestant Chidimma Adetshina, who withdrew from the competition after Home Affairs found prima facie evidence her mother committed identity theft and fraud.

"Your position on that girl was necessitated by the fact that an African child is under attack. You choose to fight an African child in favour of a white person."
