Julius Malema Lauded as Inspiration to SA Youth by ActionSAs Bongani Baloyi [Video]

• Bongani Baloyi posted on social media that young people in politics can look up to Julius Malema as an example of someone who succeeded after leaving a party
• Baloyi recently left the Democratic Alliance to join ActionSA under the leadership of Herman Mashaba
• Some leaders in the Democratic Alliance, such as Helen Zille, do not think that Baloyi’s move was a wise decision

Bongani Baloyi addressed statements following his recent departure from the Democratic Alliance (DA) to join ActionSA. He cited Julius Malema as one of his inspirations.

Julius Malema, who leads the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), was previously a member of the African National Congress (ANC) and its Youth League before leaving in 2012 to start his own political party.

Baloyi posted that young South Africans in politics can stand to learn from Malema’s decision. He added that one does not have to remain in the same political party for the duration of one’s life.
