The red barrets’ leader is no stranger to the chartable scene.
Just last week, Malema commemorated women’s day by handing over homes to grannies in Limpopo.

When we say our people must have quality houses, we are speaking of women dignity as many households are women headed.

Malema’s gesture received a positive reaction on social media.
He is a symbol of inspiration to a lot of young Black people and by supporting him you also inspiring them. Fifty people will get an opportunity to meet him up and close and some will start to believe in themselves and one day in the future it will be them doing the same.
