“R16 000 [a month] is nothing! It’s peanuts! They can afford R16 000.”

These were some of the statements made by Julius Malema yesterday. He was speaking to miners at the Beatrix Mine in Meloding, Free State. This was his first public appearance after being granted bail on a charge of money laundering last month.

Adressing a crowd of about 400 people, Malema told them to fight for better working conditions. He also promised his support for their struggle and said that their demands are not unreasonable. The video can be seen below.

The day I shall keep quiet, will be the day when I am in my grave. Not even prison will silence me. I will continue to fight for the rights of workers from prison. I shall always be with you. I don’t need permission to address you. You must never be scared. Stand firm on your belief and continue to fight for what is right. Defend the R16 000 because it is possible.
