MySol Claps Back at Malema on WhatsApp After EFF Rally Attack: ‘You Are a Boy’

Mining magnate Madibela, the man behind MySol Holdings, has hit back at Julius Malema after the EFF leader launched a scathing attack on him during a rally.

Because Madibela has publicly stated he does not use social media, he turned to WhatsApp status updates to fire back. Knowing his reach would be limited, he asked his contacts to screenshot and circulate his response.

In the posts shared in the early hours of Sunday, 25 October, he wrote:

The public spat between a self-made black entrepreneur and the EFF leader has divided opinion sharply on social media. Supporters of the EFF leader argue that he is standing up for impoverished mining communities, while others view his remarks as populist intimidation against a successful businessman.
