Malema told Zimbabweans to get jobs back home. The EFF leader, Julius Malema, repeated his stance that South Africans must get first crack at local municipal jobs, speaking at a rally in Seshego, Limpopo. His comments followed allegations about Polokwane mayor John Mpe favoring foreign-owned companies, including one tied to a Zimbabwean associate of the city manager, though Mpe denies any illegality.
Malema clarified that he does not oppose Zimbabweans working, but argued that those opportunities should exist in their own cities, like Harare, preserving local preference in South Africa. This position continues his mixed messaging from previous years, where he supported hiring Zimbabweans but always emphasized domestic workers coming first.
