Watch: EFF leader Julius Malema wants Zimbabwe billed

Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema has called for the Zimbabwean government to be billed for the costs associated with the influx of its citizens into South Africa.

The Zimbabwean government must be billed for the people who are coming here because they are running away from a failed state.

Malema made these remarks during a recent public address, arguing that the South African state is bearing the financial burden of providing services to foreign nationals. He suggested that the neighboring country should be held accountable for the economic pressures caused by migration.

The EFF leader has frequently spoken on issues of immigration and regional politics, often emphasizing the need for African unity while simultaneously criticizing the governance failures in neighboring nations that lead to mass migration.
