Malema is right!

Watching news on ZTV yesterday (24/1/17) I saw ZANU PF leaders lambasting the leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters Julius Malema for suggesting that Mugabe must step down and hand over the leadership button to someone else. Malema expressed his concern over Mugabe who failed to control a spade on the national tree planting day.
The EFF leader raised a critical issue which we must all take seriously as progressive Zimbabweans that if frail and old Mugabe can no longer control a spade then do you think he can still be in charge of the entire country? I would like to applaud Malema for his brevity, speaking truth to power and his choice to stand by the people of Zimbabwe. What Malema said were facts, real facts Robert Gabriel Mugabe (93) is now very old and unfit to continue carrying out duties as a Head of State. He must in the best interest of millions of Zimbabweans suffering out there, step down and hand over power to a youthful person who can take this country forward.
ZANU PF government is saying Malema has no mandate to intervene into Zimbabwe's domestic issues. I beg to differ, not only Malema but all South Africans have every right to intervene into the Zimbabwe's crisis because we (Zimbabweans) have become a big problem in their country. Millions of our people are in South Africa. Just a throw a stone in Johannesburg, be rest assured that it will land on a Zimbabwean. More than two million Zimbabweans are political and economic refugees in South Africa and to be honest we have become a burden to our neighbouring country.
The best which South Africa must do for us is to assist us deal with Mugabe and his evil regime so that we don't continue flocking into their country because of our crisis. Just like how Senegal helped to resolve the Gambian crisis, South Africa must kindly do the same and help us to put an end to the tyranny on our land. Malema has already opened this page by calling Mugabe to step down and give Zimbabwe a new start. Zimbabwe was put into this comatose state by Mugabe's evil regime.
I expect the same (what Malema did) from the ANC government because the more they beat about the bush trying to be good Comrades to Mugabe, thousands of our people will be crossing into their country as economic refugees every day and at the end of the day it becomes a problem for South Africa. Well done Julius Malema, Africa needs people like you for it to be a better place. More than 13 million Zimbabweans are suffering because of only one geriatric who does not want to step down. Regional leaders must not just watch and stand aloof whilst Zimbabwe is burning like this , something must be done to redeem this promising nation. Malema has set a good pace for African leaders to follow.
Grandpa Mugabe must resign and hand over this country to someone else who still has the energy to take this country forward we have had enough of this man and our future as a nation is bleak because of him. On this one thumbs up Julius you nailed it Comrade I hope the ailing grandpa will take note of your good advise that there is life after presidency.
