Summarization
Julius Malema and the EFF have been rallying against President Cyril Ramaphosa and calling for his removal, citing his involvement in the 'Phala Phala' saga and lack of credibility. They have also shown their support for Zimbabwe, Nelson Mandela, and other Freedom Fighters in their resistance to the current government. Malema has also been accused of hypocrisy due to his white background and political ties.
