Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema wants Africa to have one leader and he thinks it should be like Zimbabwe’s president Robert Mugabe.

News24 quoted him as saying:

We want an Africa where trade will happen freely. We want an Africa that will one day have one currency and have one president and one government which will preside over this continent.
We are one. These borders were imposed on us by colonialism.

Malema said Mugabe was the only one who stood up against the west and represented what Africans wanted.

Malema also added that ‘capital’ and not Mugabe was responsible for Zimbabwe’s woes. It was political disagreements with Mugabe that caused them to use their economic muscle to put pressure on Zimbabwe, Malema said.

It is common cause that Mugabe is quite popular on the continent and for many it is for the same reasons that Malema spoke of.
