The report said the two seemingly were there to try to get businessmen to invest in South Africa.
Malema is expected to face a grilling from British businessmen about his stance on nationalisation of mines and expropriation of land without compensation.
Meanwhile, a group calling itself Friends of the Youth League is nothing more than a factional group, the South African Students Congress (Sasco) said.
“We are deeply angered and saddened by activities of some ill-disciplined individuals calling themselves the Friends of the Youth League,” Sasco said in a statement.
“(They) are hell bent on weakening the image, stature and reputation of the ANC and its leadership.”
The student organisation said the group was a consortium of bitter people who were being petty. “Hence we like to refer to them as a petty-crowd.”
Friends of the Youth League was established shortly after former ANC Youth League president Malema was expelled from the ANC. It organises events around the country at which Malema can address supporters.
Earlier this week the ANCYL in Gauteng said it was distancing itself from the group. It said it was concerned by the ANCYL’s national executive committee’s silence on the group and urged it to publicly announce where it stood.
l Malema has lambasted President Jacob Zuma, The Times reported on Friday.
The paper said Malema was scheduled to deliver a public lecture at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology on former president Nelson Mandela on Thursday, but instead used the podium to criticise Zuma.
Malema labelled Zuma a “questionable leader”, saying he was a laughing stock internationally who got married every December and used his culture to promote his multiple marriages. “Zuma is a polygamist (who) undermined the rights of women,” Malema was quoted as saying.
He also accused Zuma of avoiding the opportunity to answer to charges of corruption for which his former financial adviser, Schabir Schaik, was jailed. The charges against Zuma were dropped. — Sapa.
