Malema in Zimbabwe on private visit

Harare Bureau
Former ANC Youth League leader Julius Malema, who was ousted by the ANC leadership early this year, says he will never run away from problems he is facing in South Africa and is in Zimbabwe to gain strength to double his fight against imperialists back home.

Malema is facing corruption charges, which his supporters have said are politically motivated.

The outspoken Malema said when he came to Harare last Friday to attend the wedding of Zanu-PF Youth League members Mike Gava and Tendai Wenyika, some people in South Africa speculated that he was running away to seek political asylum in Zimbabwe.

“We are here to support Cde Mike and Cde Tendai. We are here to celebrate a beautiful wedding so we left our political vocabulary at home. Today we are at a wedding and so we don’t want to be talking a lot of politics. We want to dance and enjoy Zimbabwe and we want to see what Harare will offer us.
