‘You are a small boy’: Malema fires warning at mining tycoon MySol

‘There’s no MySol who will enjoy mining money alone,’ EFF leader said during a rally in Madibeng, North West this weekend.

Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema has taken a verbal swipe at local mining businessman Solomon “MySol” Madibela during a party rally in Madibeng, North West, on Friday night.

Addressing a large crowd at Letlhabile Stadium, Malema described Madibela as a “small boy”.

These mines will service our people… These mines will not service MySol. MySol se foot. I will repeat, MySol se foot. You must tell him that he’s a small boy to me.

Malema also challenged the businessman, declaring: “I am not scared of boys who think they have got money… He must go around and ask about me… I’ll put you in your place.”

The latest attack follows comments Madibela made on the Podcast and Chill network, where he alleged that a political party leader disliked him after he declined an invitation to fund their campaign.

The dispute intensified after screenshots of WhatsApp statuses allegedly posted by Madibela circulated on social media. The posts reportedly called Malema a “small boy” and mocked his appearance.
