The Early years

Born into the Pedi tribe on 3 March 1981, Malema was raised by a single mother, who worked as a domestic worker in Seshego township, Limpopo. At the age of nine he joined the Masupatsela (”Trailblazers”) pioneer movement of the African National Congress. According to Malema, the movements main task was to remove National Party posters placed outside police stations. He was reportedly receiving military training by the age of 14, at which age he joined the ANC Youth League; according to Malema, he was receiving training in the handling of firearms by age 13.

Education
His school career was dismal, failing two years of high school as well as several subjects in his final secondary school examination. This unbelievable performance still attracts media attention. Although there are varying reports, it would appear his highest mark was a “C” for second language English and his lowest marks were published as an “H” (sub 33%) in maths and a “G” (sub 40%) in woodwork, all in the standard grade. The ANCYL dismissed the published marks as “fake”, but declined to confirm what his “real” marks might have been. The South African Department of Education later confirmed the legitimacy of the much publicized results.

In defence he claims to have won R1000 in a high school debating competition. He eventually finished high school at age 21.

Ironically, at a rally in Feb 2009, he said young people must admire educated people, not criminals.

HRC deadline for Julius ...

Fri, 10 Sep 2010

ANC Youth League leader Julius Malema has until Monday to respond to the SA Human Rights Commission regarding a complaint laid against him by the Afrikanerbond, the organisation said on Friday.

"The Human Rights Commission has confirmed that Mr Malema, despite several requests by the Human Rights Commission, did not respond," chief secretary Jan Bosman said in a statement.
"The case was referred to Mr Malema's attorneys with a request to respond by Monday 13 September 2010."

The complaint stems from the ejection of a BBC journalist from a ANCYL press conference, earlier this year.
The Afrikanerbond
also complained that the commission had done nothing about approximately 500 complaints that were lodged following Malema's "shoot the boer" statements.
"It seems that in a society that is supposed to be equal, the Human Rights Commission regards the rights of some individuals more equal than those of others."

Friday's statement also hit out at Malema for comments he made on land restitution, at a press conference on Thursday, during which he complained about the need for negotiations with land owners during planned restitution processes.

I believe Malema's only interest is in becoming President as soon as possible. he uses the ANCYL as a platform to promote his political ambitions. Comments such as these are poularist as is his defiance of any form of criticism from the white right. ..... What do you think?
