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 his EFF rally jibe.

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: “Malema o ngwana bo”

The posts loosely translate to a pointed message: Malema is the real boy here, hard work earns opportunity, and the EFF leader needs to eat and build some strength.

Some observers speculated that MySol’s decision not to donate to the EFF may have motivated Malema’s public attack, framing it as a tension between the party’s economic freedom rhetoric and

Briefly News previously reported that Malema also proposed increasing the old-age grant to R4,500 per month.

He argued that the government could fund the increase by cutting unnecessary spending and reducing the number of ministers and deputy ministers.
