His treatment of media might be questionable, but Julius Malema does know how how to be irksome when it comes to President Zuma.

From the Star’s brutal “Zuma is incapable of leading” to praise for Thuli Madonsela, here’s a wrap of what the papers have to say about Jacob Zuma’s 2016 State of the Nation address.

With zero chill, Twitter is the best place to get bite-sized chunks of Sona with no sugar coating. Here are some of the best.

Aaaaand… they’re gone.

It was bound to happen, even though the City of Cape Town explicitly denied the ANC the right to march. Have a look as supporters from the two parties clash on the streets not far from parliament.

Addressing EFF folks outside the constitutional court earlier today, Malema had some choice words about Zuma.

So the first family of SA has been granted a court interdict against the country’s favourite sh** stirrer, after accusing the EFF leader of xenophobia.

Sometimes you just have to sit back and take in the WTFness of SA politics in all its crazy glory.

El presidente might be focused on his State of the Nation (SONA) address on Thursday, but there’s the small matter of the opposition parties sharpening their teeth for him in the Constitutional Court on Tuesday before we can think of SONA.

Juju has had it up to here with Jacob Zuma and the Gupta family and he’s not pulling any punches; here’s a live stream of today’s speech where Malema lays down the law.

Is the president a little stressed about going to court next week, could that be why he’s volunteering to #PayBackTheMoney?

Nope, this isn’t a hoax; the Economic Freedom Fighters want all Africans to be exempt from SA’s immigrations laws.

The EFF aren’t happy about FW de Klerk writing a letter to The Times in the UK in which he called the student movement against colonialist Cecil John Rhodes “folly”.

The finance minister merry-go-round has evoked some stern criticism from South Africa’s opposition parties.

Ok so it’s no secret that the president yesterday got rid of a pretty decent finance minister and, in a spectacular display of cadre deployment, put a yes man in his place.

South Africa and the world’s largest per volume brewery is the latest find itself in the EFF’s firing line, with Absa already set to be ‘occupied’ by the party’s ‘special team’ in 2016 for it’s ‘historical connections to the broederbond’.

It’s the end of the parliamentary year and the ANC’s caucus had some harsh words for its opposition in parliament.

Julius Malema has said some interesting things on his “speaking tour of the UK”.

Malema’s on a roll, must be the fresh British air reinvigorating him. This time he’s taking aim at SA’s two richest black men.

Not one to ever mince his words, Juju stopped short of calling Madiba a sell out and promised mlungus the EFF would not follow the Zim way of land redistribution.

If South Africans went to the polls tomorrow instead of next year, our political situation would look a whole lot different.

MPs say some pretty stupid *ss sh**, but these are beyond that. Have a look at some of the nonsense they tune each other in parly.

The EFF’s national spokesperson and member of parly, Mbuyiseni Ndlozi has had just about enough of Zuma laughing every time he’s asked a question in parliament; watch as Ndlozi takes on el presidente.

Julius Malema will be visiting the United Kingdom for a “speaking tour”.

Have a look as this EFF member calls out a Democratic Alliance member of parliament, telling him to “speak English like a black man.”

Sasfin Securities’ deputy chairman, David Shapiro, has some hard truths to tackle; including the “misguided and foolish” petitions by SA’s university students and the EFF’s “juvenile intellect and poor grasp of economics.”

At this week’s Economic Freedom March for Freedom by the Economic Freedom Fighters – now that’s a mouthful –, EFF leader Julius Malema said that the “ANC has been protecting white people for far too long.”

Look, if there’s one thing the EFF does really well it’s getting their message across, whatever that message might be.

Your weekly news bites, drawn for you by Moses Dhladhla.

Well that was bound to happen. The Economic Freedom Fighters, so named for fighting for everything except economic freedom, has renewed their attempts at demonising Afrikaans.

The EFF has made sure that the case against Zuma will be heard in the Constitutional Court next year and oll Jacob looks like he’s starting to sweat a little.

Well, EFF leader Julius Malema has never minced his words. Here he lays into Jacob Zuma,, saying he must pray that the courts rule in his favour with regards to the remedial actions of the Public Protector.

9 February 2016 the day Julius Malema has been fighting for, for a long time. The EFF will stand in the Constitutional Court on that day and make their case against the president of the Republic.

Campaigning is in full swing across South Africa and some believe that the 2016 LGE will be a game changer for both the ruling party and opposition… take our poll and let us know who’s got your vote.

The EFF students, who want all subjects to be taught in English and no Afrikaans, attacked students who wanted to write their tests and get into the barricaded lecture room.

Look, it was bound to turn into a bit of a feeding frenzy, and with the EFF and DA baying for his blood, how could it not; but with EFF members wanting to ‘moer’ FF+ members… it’s getting a bit ridiculous.

As with everything involving the EFF, the burglary at their offices sounds like something straight out of a movie.

Yesterday an asteroid with roughly 90 million tonnes of platinum passed earth and the EFF has laid claim to it…

Julius Malema has called for Ramaphosa’s arrest, following the deputy president’s involvement in Lonmin before becoming vice pressie in 2014.

No jokes folks, this forms part of their decolonisation drive, which also includes changing South Africa’s name.

While Julius’ party itself isn’t doing great, what with internal fractures and infighting; they still want to take on the country’s largest political force in court and on the streets.

With millions owed to SARS and imminent court proceedings headed his way, some red berets believe he’ll hurt their chances at next year’s elections.

Just hours before Malema was supposed to address crowds in Alexandra last night, several shots rang out at his followers, allegedly hitting one.

It’s simple, you see what you want, illegally claim it and then abuse the democratic process to keep what you claim.

Here’s how our President’s State of the Nation Address made international headlines, for all the wrong reasons…

Watch the scuffle as EFF members are removed from parliament, as shot from a cellphone camera

Cellphone signals blocked and an alleged police presence inside parliament… just some of the scenes from what has become the most chaotic parliamentary sitting yet.

EFF members clashed at a media briefing on 12 February. In the video, Malema supporters are attempting to assault Andile Mngxitama, who manages to escape through a side door

The EFF is not here to play around. As part of their induction, EFF members have to answer tricky questions about the party’s manifesto, theoretical questions and questions about the South African economy

The EFF really can’t catch a break these days. What with their party foundations crumbling and members in jail for murder… now, on top of that, the ANC has decided they will decide what EFF members may or may not wear in parliament.

We sh*t you not. A convicted murderer is serving the EFF while serving out his jail sentence for murdering a senior ANC official.

It seems Malema just isn’t ‘Cope-ing’ with running his own party. Well, if you’re going to elect convicted criminals…

Slim pickings make for criminal selections, as Julius defends the appointment of convicted murderer Keobakile “Papiki” Babuile as provincial secretary.

NUMSA’s decision to break away from COSATU and the ANC will bring some changes but not fundamental realignment, writes Kameel Premhid

The EFF seems to think it fine for police officers to ‘skip school’ and go to EFF strikes; but where does that leave those of us not fortunate enough to have officers at our rallies?

Who needs soapies when you have the EFF in parliament?

With the EFF’s growing support and PAGAD’s resurgence, it was only a question of time before one of them declared that my enemy’s enemy is my friend

Steve Hofmeyr’s new album will feature a portion of ‘Die Stem’, which he says is in response to a request by his fans

A writer claiming to be the father of all things “Virgin” addresses Juju’s land grabbing plans in an open letter that went viral online – but is later shown to be a fake…

As Malema and the Economic Freedom Fighters are dismissed from the National Assembly merely weeks into the new parliamentary session, we’ve compiled some unique pearls of wisdom from the revolutionary leader, who forever has changed the way we look at berets…

Despite another landslide victory with more than 62 per cent of the vote, the ANC will likely face its most challenging opposition in parliament yet as SA enters its third decade of democracy

The results from the votes are coming in, and while they may hold some small surprises for new players like the EFF it looks like much of the next five years is going to be business as usual

As past behaviour tends to be the best predictor of future performance, we take a look at the last five years and ask the ANC: ayisafani?

The ANC might just be the all-out winner as well as the biggest loser of the upcoming national election in South Africa on Wednesday. But to what extent are voting patterns likely to change or remain the same in what commentators have called the most exciting election in twenty years?

South Africans living abroad wake up to their election day one week ahead of the polls in Mzansi, with almost 10,000 registered voters expected at the High Commission in London alone

With less than a month to go until national and provincial elections we decided to have a look at the weird, the wacky and the wonderful possibilities of South Africa’s multiparty politics.

Julius Malema seems to have his eyes on the prize, saying that he could get 50 per cent of the vote in the upcoming May elections for the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) – but with unimpressive organisation skills ahead of a major party rally, EFF may have bitten off more than it can chew

Attempts to stop South Africa recognising the EFF as an official party are in ruins as Julius Malema’s place to run in the 2014 elections is cemented.
