Cape Town – A video of a man standing in the street and claiming to be willing to “moer” the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema at a cost of “R20” has set Twitter abuzz.
The video shared on A TikTok shows the man holding a placard, and declaring that he would “moer (beat) Julius Malema for “R20”.
Seeing the video, Malema simply responded with a shrug.

Tweeps, on the other hand, were left in stitches, with many praising the man for seizing an opportunity to make money.
The video comes after Malema’s name topped social media’s trending list last week during his appearance at the Equality Court for singing the anti-apartheid song Dubul’ ibhulu, which translates to “Kill the Boer“.
The lobby group AfriForum filed a hate speech case against him, his party and EFF member of Parliament (MP) Mbuyiseni Ndlozi.
AfriForum wants the Equality Court to order the EFF and its leaders to publicly apologise and pay a R500 000 fine for singing the song.

You gotta give this man praises, even though I don’t support the moering but as a creative person and a celebrity my self I support his creativity.
