POLL | What do you think about the Julius and ‘MySol’ feud?

The political and business scenes are buzzing after a fiery public showdown between EFF leader Julius Malema and North West mining tycoon Solomon “MySol” Madibela.

During a recent rally, Malema took direct aim at the businessman, labeling him a “small boy” and declaring “there’s no MySol who will enjoy mining money alone”.

The confrontation didn’t stay on the stage as Madibela quickly fired back via WhatsApp, sparking a viral back-and-forth that has polarised opinions across the country.

Malema’s supporters argue he is standing up for impoverished mining communities, pushing back against unchecked corporate accumulation and ensuring local wealth actually benefits the public.

Critics view his remarks as dangerous populist intimidation, targeting a successful self-made entrepreneur and mixing political clout with private enterprise.

What do you think about the Julius and MySol feud?

Malema is right – Wealthy individuals shouldn’t intimidate communities and mining wealth must benefit the public. Malema is out of line – It’s political jealousy targeting a self-made black entrepreneur. Both are playing games – It’s just political theatre and clout
