Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema called on president Cyril Ramaphosa to close schools amid the rise of Covid-19 cases in the country.
The EFF leader insisted it was the wrong move ahead of the expected spike in infections.
“Chief please close schools, I’m asking you nicely Cyril Ramaphosa. I won’t congratulate you on alcohol because I warned you, but you choose to listen to white capital & look now. Anyway, they deserve you as their President because they voted for you. Comprador, think of our kids,” he said.
Although, One SA movement leader Mmusi Maimane had led a fierce campaign in an attempt to legally compel the government to close schools during the pandemic.
Julius Malema is the latest politician to join calls to shut down South African schools.
