A fierce political battle is raging in South Africa as two formidable leaders, Julius Malema and Musi Maimane, lock horns over the symbolism of the Springboks emblem, setting the stage for a high-stakes debate on identity and historical representation. The controversy was sparked by a video capturing EFF Leader Julius Malema's scathing critique of the Springboks emblem, labeling it as a relic of apartheid during a speech at the Gauteng Provincial Ground Forces Forum.
The truth is not a matter of popular vote Maimane. If we had to put a vote on xenophobia, we would lose. If we had to put a vote on capital punishment, we would lose. If we had to put a vote on LGBTQI, we would lose. If we had to put a vote on abortion, we would lose!
