Polish media has a superficial take, and we know “far left” is meaningless without context.
I’d appreciate if any comrades have suggestion, material or overview about the situation there.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. About Malema himself, whom I haven’t heard about up until now, there is a book called “The coming revolution: Julius Malema and the fight for economic freedom” (https://libgen.is/book/index.php?md5=EDCED55FD90E120459F21950A0EDB67B)
I’m sorry but all I can find in terms of articles are those made by some bourgeois newsletters. Found an article from “biznews.com”. You can imagine what kind of take they had. I can link to it here if you wanna read about what he said and are willing to forego the loss in braincells. The first part of the article is decent as in it vaguely states what he said: (https://www.biznews.com/thought-leaders/2023/08/22/james-myburgh-kill-the-boer-discourse)
That being said, here’s a cool video by “African Diaspora News Channel”: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3HxvSkMMZc)
And here a 3 month old video of an Interview with him by a channel called “Economic Freedom Fighters”: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1X4ynX6rNSI)
When it comes to my opinion: Down with the US and its disgusting empire! I do not personally like Putin or his state at all, but they are just a symptom of the US’ imperialism. For South Africa to be forced by the west to take a stance here by arresting Putin, is just outrageous and the usual western intervention in the politics of nations that they’re exploiting. When it comes to supporting the US or Russia, I’m taking the latter, as the US would be weakened, the global south would get better deals with Russia and China and thus the power of Socialism globally would grow. So in the end I think Malema is right in his speech.
Also, I like his beret, so extra points there o.O
That’s indeed a really great video, thank you for the resources and overview!
He’s ticking the right boxes so far. My white south africa friends may not like the result of my (ahem) research. :P
