MALEMA “TALKS TO LONDON INVESTORS” Julius Malema and Floyd Shivambu in London, allegedly to woo British business
by STAFF REPORTER
F
ormer ANC Youth League president Julius Malema and suspended league spokesman Floyd Shivambu have arrived in London, according to The New Age. Malema has twice cancelled this trip to the UK. The pair are allegedly here to speak to British investors to persuade them to invest in South Africa, SABC news reported on Saturday. Malema’s controversial stance on nationalisation of mines and expropriation of land without compensation are likely to result in grilling from British business people. On Sunday a Twitter user posted a photo of Malema, Shivambu and their entourage watching the Olympics at what appears to be a
pub in London (below). However, this morning the image and tweet had been removed by the user. According to The Citizen, political analyst Ralph Mathekga described Malema’s visit to London as a publicity stunt. “It is a publicity stunt by Malema and his cronies because they are not getting media attention in South Africa. They are trying to bring themselves into favour with businessmen. I don’t know how they will be received because they are not proponents of foreign direct investment. All their policy proposals within the ANCYL are scaring investors,” Mathekga said. It is believed that Malema will be addressing a public meeting in London on Tuesday 31 July – watch our website for further details.
