Miguna Miguna: The Julius Malema Of Kenya

Thirty-seven (37) years ago a boy was born in South Africa. The boy grew up to be a youth leader in the ruling party, ANC. He would later fall out with the party's leadership owing to his abrasive and bold nature. He was expelled from the party in the year 2012. He established a political movement known as Economic Freedom Fighters. The party objective is to liberate South Africans from social, economic and political "slavery." The party members/"generals" wear a signature unmistakable red beret.

He's the "Commander-in-chief of the party. That boy is Julius Malema. Here in Kenya, fifty-five (55) years ago a boy was born in the rural village of Magina. He was bright. He attended the University Of Nairobi for his undergraduate program but his program was cut short by political events- he was a student leader and vehemently opposed the government of the day due to what was termed as bad governance bordering on dictatorial tendencies. He fled the country, to Tanzania, to Swaziland then to Canada where he completed his studies, got employed, set up a law firm and among other achievements, became a Canadian citizen!
