Watch: EFF leader Julius Malema wants Zimbabwe billed

Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema has suggested that the South African government should send a bill to the Zimbabwean government for the costs associated with hosting Zimbabwean nationals in South Africa.

We must bill the Zimbabwean government for the services we provide to their citizens, because they are failing to provide for them in their own country.

Malema made these remarks during a recent public address, arguing that South Africa is bearing the financial burden of providing healthcare, education, and other social services to a large number of Zimbabwean migrants. He emphasized that the Zimbabwean government has a responsibility to its own people and should be held accountable for the strain placed on South African resources.

The EFF leader has frequently been vocal about immigration policies and the socio-economic challenges facing South Africa, often calling for stricter border controls and a more robust approach to managing the influx of foreign nationals. His comments have sparked debate regarding the regional responsibilities of SADC member states and the complexities of migration in Southern Africa.
