The President and Commander In Chief, Julius Malema at the 3rd NPA plenary venue.
EFF leader, Julius Malema has condemned the British High Commission’s failure to process his visa application to the United Kingdom. Malema was supposed to address students at the 11th Annual Cambridge Africa Together Conference at the Cambridge University this weekend.
He has taken to social media to express his frustration as well. The EFF says this nothing more than an expression of bureaucratic process being used to suppress political dissent.
The EFF says it’s well aware that this is a reflection of the imperialism against Julius Malema who has been a strong and critical voice against the United Kingdom for its role in the atrocities of colonialism particularly its role of the British Monarchy in the slave trade and its role in the genocide of Palestinians.
The party says it will never be discouraged from building global solidarity against imperialism and capitalism.
“The United Kingdom is not only suppressing academic freedom by essentially banning the President of the EFF from travelling to the country, but is engaged in an open declaration of war against those who dare to stand up to warmongers such as the British Monarchy, which has the blood of the people of Kenya whom they brutalised during the Mau Mau rebellion still dripping from their hands,” says the EFF in a statement.
The party says the ban is the British’s response to Malema’s condemnation of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
“This bureaucratic ban is a response to the condemnation by the CIC of blood thirsty murderers such as former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who destroyed Iraq under the guise of looking for non-existent weapons of mass destruction,” adds the party.
