Julius Malema: Opportunism Best Practices

Julius Malema is a confirmed opportunist, well-known for his inconsistency and his lack of morality. Zapiro's cartoon shows him with his "Breitling" watch and his "Gucci" shoes.walking over the dead miners killed by shots from the police. Malema wasted no time to address the the miners at the LONMIN mine exploiting the tensions among the workers themselves and their conflict with the owners. He told them exactly what they had wanted to hear that they are victims of a vicious company, conniving unions and uncaring politicians. Malema, a politician expelled by the ruling ANC top brass, was the first politician to address the miners at the site during a more than weeklong saga in which 10 people were killed before Thursday's shootings — including two police officers butchered to death and two mine security guards whom strikers burned alive in their vehicle. He said he had come because the government had turned its back on the strikers. Malema said "They had no right to shoot."
