City Press reports that the EFF leader, who was speaking to folks in Lebowakgomo in Polokwane, had the crowd roaring with laughter while telling them about a run-in he had with a white beggar.

“He asked me for a hundred rand; I was very happy. This thing of democracy is really working if white people are asking me for money,” Malema said.

“Even if they are hobos, they never forget they are white. They never compromise on their standards, they don’t take anything less than what they think they deserve. You have got a house but your house is not anywhere close to where that white hobo is going to sleep. You are not a hobo, but you don’t have water,” Juju told supporters.

“A white hobo says to me there where we sleep there is warm water, but you don’t have water. A white hobo will never sleep where there is no hot water, you are sleeping where there is no water at all.”

Malema’s been on a whirlwind campaign tour, aiming for ten packed meetings a day in the run-up to next month’s Local Government Elections.
