Malema is our very own Donald Trump - New Age editor-in-chief
Durban – New Age editor-in-chief Moegsien Williams hit back at Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema on Thursday, saying he was South Africa's very own Donald Trump.
"It [Malema’s statements] reminds me a lot of Donald Trump in the United States... who wants to ban Muslims and throw reporters out of press conferences.
"He is our very own Donald Trump and I worry about that kind of language when we have an election coming up," he said.
Williams was speaking during an interview on ANN7 on Thursday afternoon after Malema banned Gupta-owned media such as ANN7 and The New Age from attending the party’s events.
"Gupta must leave the country. We're tired about talking about [the] Guptas. We're going to take practical action," Malema told reporters at a press conference in Johannesburg.
