“The Leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters of South Africa Honorable Julius Malema, my comrade in the Youth for Africa Movement today sent me a precious gift. It is precious because of what it symbolizes. He sent me a red beret from the EFF.

“People Power will always be greater than the People in Power!” he remarked.
