Juju burnt on Twitter

EFF leader Julius Malema has come under fire defending Nigerian musician Burna Boy, who is scheduled to perform in South Africa next week.

Burna Boy was trending on social media last week after the Tshwane Entertainment Collective spoke out about boycotting his scheduled performance at the “Africans Unite” concert set to take place in Pretoria on 24 November.

Amid the storm, Malema added his two cents and said no “mascot” is going to stop the Nigerian rapper from performing in South Africa.

Taking to his Twitter account he wrote: “Looking forward to receiving and being entertained by my brother @burnaboy here at his home called South Africa. There’s no mascot that can stop him from performing, he’s one of our own and we will protect him. We must resolutely oppose regionalism led by political illiterates.”

“I won’t be intimidated or blackmailed by bed wetting boys, welcome home @burnaboy. South Africa is a home for all Africans, kill me for defending an African brother, bloody Cowards.”
