He is a grcious man, who forgave his white opressers far easier than what they perhaps deserved, but I think his action were humbling and saved a nation that was on the brink of civil war- he showed what a true Man is. When can will we be ready to move away from what is white and what is black? What good would war and continued hatred have done any of us? Perhaps killing millions of innocent people and destroying the future of our youth. Julius Malema should be fighting for the rights of all youth in a constructive manner- better education, health services, skill developments etc and not wasting his efforts on insulting slurs. He is in a position do do some much good, not to sound idealistics but why cant we move forward and build a country where we all work and strive towards a better life for everyone?JRFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09473126010247397657noreply@blogger.com
