Julius Malema has got social media buzzing after poking fun at Helen Zille.
The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader is known for speaking his mind and recently directed a jibe at the Democratic Alliance’s (DA) Federal Chair.
The Red Berets Commander in Chief poked fun at Zille’s use of Botox, something she’s confessed to trying in the past.

Zille took to X to retweet a clip of Malema in 2019, captioning it “Tweet of the year.”
On 16 December 2019, Malema made a promise to build a private school that would be owned by the EFF.
“In the next five years when we come back here, if we have not built a school, don’t elect any of us in Frontier. We are useless. It means we do not know what we want,” he said in the video.
Malema and Zille are no strangers to taking shots at each other on social media. On 17 June 2021, Zille accused Malema of hosting a super spreader that went against COVID-19 regulations.

In response, Juju clapped back by referencing Zille’s appearance. It’s not the first time he has done so, either.
Ironically, the Red Berets' leader has faced criticism about his own appearance online. On 29 September, social media users raised concerns about his health after noting his significant weight loss.
South Africans amused by Malema’s comment
The Commander in Chief’s jibe amused many social media users, while others trolled him for not building the school yet.
