SOUTH AFRICA - Former Ukhozi F broadcaster and anti-illegal immigration activist Ngizwe Mchunu has once again launched a scathing verbal attack on Julius Malema during a live address to his supporters.

Mchunu recorded a clip for his followers and those involved in the March and March anti-illegal immigration movement, where he updated supporters about plans to head to the Somali embassy following the backlash surrounding a Somali diaspora event held in Johannesburg on Saturday, 16 May 2026.

The event went viral on social media after some South Africans claimed it was the “coronation” of a Somali king in South Africa.

What did Ngizwe Mchunu say?

Addressing supporters in the viral video posted on X, Mchunu appeared angered by the event, but as usual, turned his attention to arch nemesis Malema, who won a defamation case against him and who he continues to accuse of supporting foreigners over South Africans.

“Malema, we are finishing with him. He’s a dog, phlegm, so we’re finishing with him tomorrow," He said.

After unloading on Malema, he turned his attention to the Somali situation, reminding his followers of the deadline that the movement had set for June 30, where he said they would ensure the immigration problem is dealt with once and for all.

'We are finishing with foreigners. They must all go before the 30th,” Mchunu said

Mchunu has become one of the loudest voices linked to anti-illegal immigration activism in recent months, often attracting attention for his outspoken comments and online mobilisation campaigns.

Meanwhile, Malema and the EFF have consistently positioned themselves against xenophobic rhetoric, arguing that African unity should take priority over nationality divisions.

Malema won the defamation case against Mchunu

The Gauteng High Court ruled in favour of Julius Malema in his case against Ngizwe Mchunu. This was after the activist and media personality said Malema was being paid by Nigerian drug lords and therefore was protecting them. Malema took legal action, resulting in the court ruling that he retract his statements, refrain from defaming the EFF leader and pay R1 million in punitive costs.
