INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPERS

The judiciary is controlled by the white minority, embattled ANC Youth League leader Julius Malema said at a closed session of the league’s lekgotla.
“I have lawyers who are representing me on this case the Hawks are chasing me on. They are three white lawyers,” Malema said on video footage seen by Sapa on Tuesday.
“Every time I sit in a meeting with them I get very irritated. This thing I'm doing is wrong, but there's nothing I can do because the judiciary is controlled by these white minorities,” said Malema.
He was addressing delegates at an ANCYL three-day lekgotla in Pretoria on Sunday.
Last year, opposition political parties called on the SA Revenue Service to investigate his wealth, claiming it was out of proportion to his reported R25 000 monthly salary.
The Sunday Independent reported that the Hawks had prima facie evidence of corruption related to the awarding of tenders to firms Malema had an interest in in Limpopo, his home province.
Public Protector Thuli Madonsela was reportedly also probing claims of irregular tenders awarded by the Limpopo government to a company linked to Malema.
Malema said his lawyers had told him there were 20 investigators probing him, including the Hawks, the SA Revenue Service and other financial intelligence services.
“They (the lawyers) brought all their (investigators') names to me... out of the 20 investigators, 17, they are whites, and every time you speak about whites you must know you are irritating these 17.”
Malema said his lawyers told him that he was making their job difficult for them.
“I was not interested in that... I was just interested in the 17 whites in the case of one young black person,” he said.
Malema said this proved every state organ was controlled by the white “capital” minority, who he described as a mafia.
There were senior prosecutors who played golf with judges.
“We are talking about senior prosecutors who deal with senior cases,” said Malema.
“Once you say you are going to take from those people (white capitalists) they activate every power they have. We thought it was only in the state but it's been proven it's... also in the ANC,” he said.
Malema said the league had “angered capital”, and it was doing its utmost to remove the youth league.
“The fight is not about whether Gwede (Mantashe) must be SG (secretary general) or (Fikile) Mbalula. It's not about that. The fight is about property... and they not prepared to surrender,” said Malema. – Sapa

Im confused...my understanding his ill gotten gains are from corrupt practices against his own people and government in Limpopo. "The whites" contribute only in taxes to the democratic african government from which he steals.

facts are totally non-racial no matter who digs them up. Malema is a cynical manipulator of the mindless masses (and a hater)

The country is not falling apart because of the White man. The country is falling apart because of ANC corruption, theft, incompetence, greed, stupidity and their racist BEE policy. Malema plays the "Race" card everytime he gets into trouble but he is so dumb he doesn't understand that he makes his own trouble.

And so they should considering the concept of a judiciary was introduced by whites. Blacks never had a judiciary in their culture. Blacks never had voting rights in their culture. Blacks never had education in their culture. Blacks never owned land in their culture. You see, the entire "Apartheid" cop out has been a farce from the outset. Their own culture derpived blacks of these rights and privilidges way before the white man even got to these shores. Their own leaders are responsible for oppressing them people way before Apartheid even existed.

Malema is a racist to the core, he thinks that blaming whites for everything it will cover up for what he has stolen. Pathetic

I am reading the comments here and its quite saddening. What I see is my white brothers and sisters making a singularly big mistake. You are letting your hatred of Malema blind you to the real danger. Let me tell you what the real danger is. The real danger is the over 80% black majority of this country who are watching this spectacle with growing resentment. If Malema can demonstrate to the black majority that he (a single black man) is being presecuted by whites who do you think will come out looking like the martyr? Make no mistake, in your arrogance and vain glory you are pouring fuel on a fire that my yet consume you. If what Malema says is true then this for the black majority will be a great cause for concern ... and will impact very negatively on race relations in this country.

ah the racist card at last. Please watch what is happening in Lybia etc The void has not been filled. what do you want. no man so far has been able to divide the races as our friend Malema. Insult the President in any of the "Black" Country and M. you would be thrown in jail and the key thrown away. Be glad that the so called Judiciary is White.In China and Russia you would have been sent to the Gulags without a blanket and no representation. You aim is really to create a revolution to your own benefits and in the process dividing the ANC. Yes the Government is not not keeping its promises, promises which were unachievable to start up with. No M. you dont want the Whites out BUT YOU DESIRE THEIR SO CALLED WEALTH. YOU ARE THE BIGGEST FRAUD EVER PRODUCED IN SA
