Inside Malema's murky mind

It seems every time he opens his mouth he sparks outrage but it doesn’t bother Julius Malema.

In fact if the ANC Youth League leader was paid every time he insulted somebody he’d be even wealthier.

In the latest issue of YOU we look at some of his most idiotic statements.

Also, tell us what you think of Julius Malema in the comments field below.

    Removing Malema from the ANC's ranks won't help, removing him from society would make him a martyr. What we need is for him to take a beautiful blonde, EXTREMELY WHITE wife!!! If only we could find someone to tempt him into such a marriage all our problems would be solved.. isn't it "policy" now for successful, rich black men to marry white women? The day this happens I'll laugh my socks off

    In my opinion Malema is the the black version of Eugene Terre'Blanche. At least Eugene gives one the impression that he thinks about what he says whereas Malema opens his mouth and just vomits words. I am quite sure he doesn't even know what the hell he is talking about. When Malema is questioned he just talks and talks and says absolutely nothing.

    South African media should stop printing anything Malema says or
    does, he cant fight silence. What goes around comes around.
    He is instigating violence by his singing "Shoot the Boer" so it
    will come back to him. As you sow so shall you reap - that is a law
    which will never change even for Malema.

    I know people like this sell newspapers and magazines but if the press just stopped reporting on absolutely everything and anything he did. He would fall into obscurity. Unless of course he decided to open and run his own publishing house.

    A person can't fight silence. If his inflammatory words and statements were not heard, they would not breed intolerance and unrest amongst the general South African public.

    What we need to remember is that as stupid as some people may think he and his comments are, he has a charisma that appeals to the ANC youth league - the "future leaders" - heaven help us. Hitler wasn't that bright but he had the charisma and access to the media to spark a nation into action and start WWII.

    Don't giver JM another moment of media coverage, let him fade away

    Please, please, NO MORE ABOUT JUIUS MALEMA -enough is more than enough .Everytime we see him on TV,we turn it off. The media should stay away from him. His ego is inflated by the media and he depends on them, He takes pleasure in being seen and heard.Maybe , if the media ignores him , we will have some peace.

    Every organization has an idiot, Malema happens to be the ANC's idiot. We should not spend our days wondering about Malema. If nobody pay attention to him and his stupidity, he'll fade away ..........

    Lets rather concentrate on real issue like poverty, job creation and starvation and make our great country strong.

    He will destroy himself.

    Chrisum, i believe the statement that you have just made is racist and incorrect. Psyagra has said that our Country - South Africa has a population, where the majority have a basic level or even no education. This could be for a a number of reasons, e.g. apartheid. Psyagra mentioned nothing at all about uneducated black people in his comment, but i truly believe that for you to comment such a statement is very racist. Psyagra had no intention to degrade black people, yet you still say that he insulted black people.

    you should really think the next time you make a comment like that.

    and as for Malema, he speaks in a rude, unacceptable manner and YOU magazine have finally pointed it out, thanks.

    I am a mixture white and black a rainbow child. I look white but have zulu family shezi. So I think that people should think before they make comments baecause I love my black granny and white grandfather. They love each other. I love all people and I love been alive, I think people should look up into the sky look at the clouds, breath be happy with life, some people need to find themelf. I am happy to be alive an I love people no matter what colour you are

    The thing is... you will never hear him adressing problems related to youth, all he does is talk about things he knows nothing about e.g. Sharpville, mines etc. Although I have a feeling he must have been sent by the "elders" to test water in as far as nationalization of mines are concerned, why? because they feel the money they get from awarding themselves tenders is not enough, what with marrying and jolling with so many women etc. So I think they are seriously thinking of putting their thick fingers in the gold & diamond jar......mark my words.

    Im disgusted by this recent behaviour. We are suppose to be the rainbow nation.
    We have more diversity than any other country in the world yet we are faced with such
    petty comments from people who have nothing smart to say. I was shocked to see
    what was posted on Malema's wall a while back. How can anybody with an IQ
    level, ok thats maybe too much to ask, how can anybody with a bit of humanity in them
    agree with what come's out of Malema's mouth?! He is pathetic.

    I cant believe that a public figure like Malema is insighting such racial hate speech. Does he not know his followers hang on his every word and will act on such statements, (I think he knows that's why he does what he does best). My questions, Who is the real racist here? Jeez Julius. Our country has been through so much to allow this idiot of a man to take us back too whe we came from. Someone has to stop him or I fear more white Citizens in SA will die senseless deaths. How old was Julius in the struggle, 10 or 12?

    we have the same sort of thing in Namibia, every time our founding father opens his mouth to talk such rubbish, saying things like kill all the whites, beat their heads in with a hammer and so forth.\
    I wonder what the rest of the world really things of these people!!!

    Im a young, black and educated South African and quite shocked to see a idiot placed
    in such a post to destroy every thing we and have worked for. Seems he cant move
    forward and wants this country to end up like Zim! I agree he should be removed from
    society and soon. As for him thinking he will be president, what a laugh! When the
    people stand together, he will be removed..........

    Malema is nothing better than a corrupt racist who is doing his best to antagonize the whites. He his cut from the same cloth as his uncle Bob up north. Why are the ANC so afraid to shut him up. Seems to me that he was put in place to act out that particular role. Does the ANC have a hidden agenda?

    The whole world is promoting " Say no to racism" . Julius Malema is the biggest RACIST in the whole world.

    Julius Malema is an utterly insane person who should be removed from South African society. South Africa can afford to have a "public speaker" like Julius Malema.

    Do not gave him too much publicity,
    he doesn't know Sharpeville nor the history.He is murky mouse AND I think the anc
    Should recall him and educate him first,otherwise he will give the youths wrong,rotten
    African history.He is good on Woodwork AND BRAINLESS lunatic.
    Stop advitising his idiotic story.What does he knows about Sharpeville Pac which
    have organised the march, after that he said PAC hijacked.He must get facts before he
    opens his mouth.
    He only knows building deathtrapped bridges in his province and been denial of
    been corrupt,because his big uncle and all anc idiots are corrupt. amen

    I agree with Lilly. We should treat Malema the same way we treat every other misbehaved 5 year old. Ignore him. The sad part is that last week "You" published a couple of "mobi's" of people who are like-minded and promised he would become president. A question? Do you publish "white" remarks in Drum magazine?

    2010/03/23 12:28:47 PM
    The scariest part is that unfortunately the vast majority of South African's share the same level of intelligence and this is why we are in deep poo. One or two idiots is one thing - but virtually a whole nation?!!!

    I think the media is giving Malema too much attention, he really isn't all that newsworthy...

    2010/03/20 02:32:16 PM
    Does Malema realise what he says makes him sound uneducated, angry and full of hate to anyone who has a different opinion to him! I fear for all South Africans and our country if he should come to power!
