Malema turns down parliamentary nomination

Cartoon: Julius Malema for President - when will the day come?

Julius Malema sadly said he would spare the South African public his political mastermind for the next 10-15 years. He devastated many fans when he said he believed parliament was for old people, and that he had a significant amount of work left to do to mould the youth of the country.

Mr Malema, president of the ANC Youth League (ANCYL) turns 28 this year.

Also reported to have turned down nominations for parliament are Thabo “I used to be a president” Mbeki and Tito “we will weather the storm” Mboweni. As yet it is unclear if Winnie Madikizela-Mandela’s criminal record will prevent her from becoming an MP. Judging by what Mr Zuma is about to do to the SA justice system, we’re guessing she stands a good shot at becoming deputy president.
