EFF leader Julius Malema has suggested that Zimbabwe should be billed for the services provided to its citizens in South Africa.

The comments were made during a recent public engagement where Malema addressed the strain on South African infrastructure and public resources. He argued that the South African government should hold the Zimbabwean government accountable for the costs associated with hosting its nationals, particularly regarding healthcare and education.

Malema’s remarks have drawn mixed reactions, with some supporters praising his stance on protecting local resources, while critics have labeled the suggestion as xenophobic and impractical given the diplomatic and economic ties between the two nations.
