Social activist and president of Soweto parliament Nhlanhla Lux had a lot to say when he visited Penuel Mlotshwa’s podcast Penuel The Black Pen.
The community leader spoke about EFF CIC Julius Malema’s quest for the government to open up boarders to African who want to gain access to the country. Stating that foreigners are the biggest problem in South Africa, Nhlanhla suggested that Julius’s parent/s might not be from the country hence he never speaks about them.
“I once asked some guys in the terms we use in townships, I asked comrades, bafethu (guys), can I ask a very simple question? When Julius presents his grandmother as the parent is his grandmother Mary, and he is Jesus? He doesn’t have a father and mother, and you all fall for that?”
He continued, adding:
“Don’t we run a risk of maybe not having understanding of who we are dealing with here, because if I know your mother and father, I don’t need to talk to you. I’ve got a real geographical location of your being of existence.”
“One of the biggest boiling issues of the country is foreigners. I have plenty information to back up what I’m saying, and Julius is very emotional and sensitives around boarders. Le nna (myself included) if I had graves from my family on the other side of the boarder, I’d say open those boarders because it is important my graves are on that side”.
The community leader also noted:
“I want people to believe what they want to believe because we are a nation that believes. Batla re gopola rona ba bang hasetse ba votela a Zimbabwean (they will remember us when they’ve voted a Zimbabwean) as a South African president. You are here advocating for someone usatsebe ntate ke mang, ma wa hae ke mang, you just know virgin Mary wa nkholo”.

After seeing the clip, social media users shared their thoughts on Nhlanhla’s comments about Julius stating:
Does he know that Chief Albert Luthuli was born in Gwanda? Wait, does he know who Chief Albert Luthuli is? Even if what he says is true, our people have been one since time immemorial. And @Julius_S_Malema is not Zimbabwean. Wish he was, but he isn’t. Pity

So lux wants to be relevant again, and again he’s using Julius.. If he can lie about bombs what more can he lie about.
