Malema calls for African, coloured and Indian unity
EFF leader Julius Malema called on Africans, coloureds and Indians to unite, and on black South Africans to stop xenophobia.
Addressing a big crowd in Phillipi on the Cape Flats, Malema said: "You are not foreigners in the Western Cape!" "Comrades, you must go and go and reclaim the streets of Western Cape, whether you are coloured, whether you are African. All of us we are one thing. We are black. We are the victims of apartheid. We must be united as black people.”
He said South Africa will never survive if black people are divided.
The reason why they divide us, the reason why they are threatened by unity of Africans, coloureds and Indians, is because they know when we are united we will not be dominated by white monopoly capital.”
"It is important to unite and see ourselves as victims of apartheid, because whether you are Indian, whether you are coloured and you might think you are closer to whites, whiteness doesn’t like you. It oppressed you before, it will forever oppress you.”
