"MALEMA: No one will force anyone to vaccinate. I'm vaccinated because I believe in science and the trials for Covid-19 was run on white people and that is unusual. Even Jews are vaccinated and those people don't play with their lives. #LandAndJobsManje #VoteEFF"

Malema also accused the Jewish people of being in control of the economy and even the air people breathe, laying the blame for air pollution at their feet.

Malema promises to pay unemployed students a "graduate allowance"

Earlier, Briefly News Julius Malema, the leader of the EFF, delivered a speech to student members in Bellville, Cape Town.

He has been hitting the campaign trail hard, trying to win hearts and minds ahead of the local government elections.

While addressing the students, Malema promised them that if the EFF were to win local elections and eventually national elections, they would make some sweeping changes.

Graduation allowance

One of these proposed changes would be what Malema called a "graduation allowance". The EFF would pay unemployed students while they were looking for work.
