JOHANNESBURG. — Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema has married his long-time girlfriend Mantwa Matlala in a private ceremony under heavy security in his hometown Seshego, Polokwane, in Limpopo.
Sunday Times reported that the traditional ceremony on Saturday was policed by more than 20 security guards in black suits and red ties who ensured that only invited guests entered.
The ceremony in a big white marquee outside Matlala’s home was attended by 500 people.
At the end of the street, a large glass marquee was erected.
