In a press conference after South Africa recently closed its land borders, Malema said:

The closing of borders around SADC, knowing how interlinked our economies are in the region at the level of migration, is reckless and inhumane.

The EFF calls for a high-level meeting by SADC to resolve the matter and resolve on common protocols and procedures for travel including free testing and provision of clearance permits to enter South Africa.

Turning to his own country, Malema called the closure of borders ‘classicism and racism’. He said this was based on Covid-19 having come from Italy and not neighbouring countries.

South Africa is under an adjusted Level 3 lockdown.
