Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema has sparked a heated debate online after stating that he cannot imagine South Africa without white people.

Speaking at a recent event, the firebrand politician, who is often accused of being anti-white, said that he actually loves white people and that they are an integral part of the country.

We love them. We can’t imagine South Africa without white people. They are part of us. We just want them to share the land with us.

Malema’s comments have been met with mixed reactions, with some people praising him for his inclusive stance, while others have accused him of being insincere and playing to the gallery.

Some social media users have pointed out that Malema’s rhetoric has often been divisive, and that his latest comments are a departure from his usual stance. Others have argued that Malema is simply trying to broaden his appeal ahead of the next general election.

Regardless of his motives, Malema’s comments have once again put the spotlight on the issue of race relations in South Africa, a country that is still grappling with the legacy of apartheid.
