Julius Malema wants to take money from billionaire Johann Rupert to pay for free electricity for grant recipients
EFF leader Julius Malema promoted free water and electricity for social grant recipients, saying it can be paid for by people like billionaire Johann Rupert.
Malema shared this view in a speech during an EFF local election rally at the KaMaqhekeza Stadium in Mpumalanga.
Turning to where the money would come from, Malema said they would target wealthy individuals and corporate entities.
He singled out Johann Rupert, who Malema alleged avoided paying municipal bills for his Leopard Creek estate.
The Leopard Creek Country Club is in a dispute with the Nkomazi Local Municipality over property valuation and historical rates agreements.
