One thing is they never say Malema is lying😂😂

[@Fxrichards]

Malema is living Gucci and Rolex, taking VBS money and being funded by a white cigarette manufacturer... do you really think he is honest? You are more ignorant than you think. Malema will say anything as long as he can live the luxury live whilst thousands of poor black people believe the nonsense he dish up for them... Even in the Zuma years he was one of the tenderpreneurs in Limpopo. Time to wake up and smell your coffee that is already cold...

Sorry my comrade if you are , I'm not expecting you to speak like that about the present president. Unless you speak for the sake of speaking. If you are a discplined member of the ANC you will not be talking ANC conference here instead you would ettend your branch meeting and discuss what you have observed when your spresident has been speaking. You would wait your organisation to lead you to a national conference. If you are a member of the ANC you are a newly joined member. Let the comrades teach you the principles of this organisation. If you are not there is nothing that concerns you in the ANC conference.

Waste of tax and state resources, they do not even have a facility designed and equipped to suite the parliament. I wonder how much are they spending on each rented seating with all the logistics to accommodate such a statute, before they behave like parliament is a political rally. The level of maturity on our politicians is reflected by the conditions of living to the masses. Non of them debated and referenced with scientific facts. No stats, no research, no benchmarking nothing. They are funded as political parties, they are paid nice monies, accommodate and their travel expenses. In all they bring us nothing but horrible behaviour controlled by emotional disorder showing high levels of political intolarence. We are praying for this country.
