Niehaus posts defiant message on X

Taking to social media, the EFF MP posted a defiant message on X, calling out those who have targeted him, telling them to bring it on.

The post attracted a comment from one person who told him to stop insulting Jacob Zuma.

Niehaus was stern in his response, saying that he only speaks the truth about Zuma, while others often lie about Julius Malema.

“I have never told anything but the truth about Zuma, and I have done more for him than all of you combined. But when he is wrong, I will say so, without fear or favour. However, you guys lie about my Commander In Chief, President Julius Malema, and insult him all the time, and then you don’t see anything wrong with that? One rule for you, and another for anyone else? Aikona. Don’t think we are push overs,” Niehaus replied.
