On 21 May last year, Trump read president Ramaphosa the riot act at the Oval Office, basically ordering them to lock up leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters, Julius Malema, as a condition for any easing of the crushing 30% tariffs imposed on South Africa.
Malema was targeted because the EFFs radical demands like land expropriation without compensation strike a chord with brutally exploited black and Coloured farm workers and threaten the parasitic interests of the white baas. He is facing 15 years in prison after being found guilty last year on bogus gun charges. Leftists and workers must defend Malema as a concrete act to build the struggle against US imperialist crushing oppression of the South African masses.
