Malema Bottle-Feeds Calf Amid Crime Intelligence Allegations

On Tuesday, EFF leader Julius Malema shared a 29-second video of himself bottle-feeding a reddish-brown calf on what looks like his farm, dressed in a black hoodie and jeans. The post drew thousands of likes from supporters praising his human side, but it landed the same day the Madlanga Commission released affidavits alleging he received confidential police details from Crime Intelligence head Major General Feroz Khan, tied to the VBS bank scandal and other issues. While Malema dismissed the commission as political theater and allies called it a smear, critics labeled the video a tone-deaf distraction amid his ongoing legal battles, including a firearm appeal. The clip highlighted South Africa's deep political divides, with no formal charges filed yet.
