Mashaba unfazed by Malema's utterances, says it's clear EFF is intimidated by ActionSA

ActionSA leader Herman Mashaba at the Mayfair Baptist Church in Johannesburg on 04 May 2024.

JOHANNESBURG - ActionSA leader, Herman Mashaba, said that it is clear that Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema feels threatened by his party.

Speaking to Eyewitness News on the sidelines of his election campaign on Saturday, Mashaba responded to some things said about him by Malema.

Malema recently took to his social media platforms multiple times airing his views about Mashaba.

The EFF leader has not minced his words saying Mashaba isn't fit to survive in Parliament.

“The Oppenheimers are putting millions under Herman Mashaba. Mashaba is a fool who can’t think. He was a mayor here in Johannesburg and we were controlling him when he was a mayor.”

But Mashaba said he’s not fazed by Malema’s utterances.

“I am not the kind of person you can distract by insulting me. In fact, when you start insulting me and calling me names, that’s when you make me more resilient.”

Mashaba, whose party isn’t represented in Parliament said the EFF is visibly intimidated by ActionSA.
