Malema's Xmas gift for GNU

SO, delivery by the man in red is a myth after all. This is not a reference to Father Christmas, who can reliably be expected to make his annual appearance next week.

No. Here we are talking about the grim, gaunt figure who shed tears of self-pity on stage at the weekend. His promises proved false.

Julius Malema is all mouth and no trousers. That's a colonialist English description of someone who talks a lot about doing something but never actually does it.

Five years ago, Malema pledged "world-class and decolonised education" as he promised a private school for poor black pupils.

On 16 December 2019, during his party's elective conference at Nasrec, he declared: "I want us to build a private school that is owned by the EFF in these next coming five years. We are going to hire highly qualified teachers and kids will learn free of charge...">

"If we don't build that school in the next five years don't re-elect us next time because we would be useless."
