ECONOMIC FREEDOM FIGHTERS RESPONSE TO JACKSON MTHEMBU

27 September 2012

On Wednesday, the 26th of September 2012, one drunkard called Jackson Mthembu went all over media channels and platforms to rubbish and question the integrity of the Commander in Chief for Economic Freedom Fighters, President Julius Malema. The drunkard went to the extent of calling President Julius Malema a 'menace and a monster' in a very childish and intoxicated inspired fashion.

In doing all these things, the drunkard was weakly trying to deny the reality that Mr. Jacob Zuma is behind attempts of the State to arrest and detain President Julius Malema as a way of suppressing political dissent. We have it on good authority that President Zuma and his Security Cluster have for a long time now looked for ways to incarcerate President Julius Malema as a way of preventing him from interacting with workers and the downtrodden masses of South Africa.

We have it on good authority that the deployment of the military to Marikana and any other civilian place in South Africa from 14 September 2012 until the 31st of January 2013 is in direct response to what the insecure regime of Jacob Zuma calls the 'Malema threat' and aimed at combating combined workers' action against repression and low wages, which Economic Freedom Fighters said will happen. Anyone who does not understand this simple logic will never understand anything.

We did not respond to the drunkard on Wednesday because we wanted him to continue making a fool of himself whilst we were busy with many other important matters. We will never and have never taken Jackson Mthembu - the drunkard seriously. If there are people who are Monsters and Menace in South Africa it is those who abuse alcohol and drugs, and Jackson Mthembu is not only one of them, but produces more from his home and cannot even manage to keep them there. We will never take drunkard and Manufacturers of drug addicts seriously, so the sooner Jackson Mthembu shuts up, the better.

We are not intimidated by anything and we will never be intimidated. No surrender! No retreat! ASIJIKI!
