Women are not afraid. If you want to scare a woman, you will see the real Winnie Madikizela-Mandela within her. Said The EFF leader Julius Malema on Sunday.
Malema visited the Faith Gospel Church in Khutsong, North West, to thank them for their prayers, as well as asking the church to help fight against women and child abuse.
Malema told the church that it must not be silent about the killings of women in South Africa, he said the bishop should pray in earnestness and sincerity to deliver the country from such sins.
“Bishop, I am speaking on women and the current predicament they find themselves in because the church should not be silent on this matter.”
“They church should pray in earnestness and sincerity for what is going on, we have a problem, women are being killed, and men in SA have declared a war on our women.”
“We have even gained a bad reputation as a country. Women are killed senselessly.”
”I cannot imagine a country without women, it would be chaotic.”
“We need our women, they don’t need us, we cannot survive without them but they can.”
“We must never think we are doing women a favour, because they do us the favour.”
He also asked the Bishop to pray for men so that they respect women and understand their importance and worth in their society.
“Bishop pray for our nation, for our men to respect our women, pray that they understand the importance of the role of women and their worth”
” We need our women for guidance and for their reasoning.”
Malema rebuked the men to stop intimidating women and being threatened by their success.
“Men, stop intimidating women, stop feeling inferior and being threatened by their success”.
“Men are those who extend their hand of congratulations to both male and female.”
The EFF leader also touched upon the issue of the land and how the Government in 2014 wanted to demolish the church because it was alleged that the land doesn’t belong to it. He said the church that the party is fighting for land.
“When we came here in 2014, they wanted to demolish this church because they claimed the land did not belong to the church”.
“The Mayor was supposed to meet with the Bishop and understand that the Bishop wanted to create a safe haven for the people of this community.”
“The colonizer did not come to take your wife or husband, they took your land”.
“Even now, you cannot open your own business because you cannot afford rent on the land they claim to be theirs”.
“They do not want you to have the land because they do not want you to prosper.”
“But we were fighting for the land. People voted for the ANC because they were fighting for the land.”
“The founding principle of the revolution was the land because the land is everything.”
The party thanked the leadership of the Church for opening the doors and welcoming them with warm hands.
"We are grateful to the leadership of the church for welcoming us with warm arms."
"We come bearing gifts because we know the house of the Lord is where people bring offering and praise."
Malema promised to build a church for the congregation that is currently worshiping in a tent in Khutsong, North West.
