Cape Town — Julius Malema and the Economic Freedom Fighters have become the centre of attention after their recent 10th-anniversary birthday bash held at the FNB Stadium last weekend.
The EFF commemorated a decade of unwavering commitment to their cause, drawing thousands of enthusiastic supporters to the grand celebration.
It was a moment that proved to be iconic as Malema had the thousands of EFF supporters in attendance roaring with excitement as his powerful speech ended with him standing on a podium that lifted him up.
Malema had the right words; a mic drop moment as he lifted his hand in the air, confetti in the air and the music’s beat dropped at the right time.

The moment was one that left many celebrities in shock. None more so than Somizi, who took to Instagram and said:
“I wasn’t going to talk about this, I tried to keep it within myself, to not talk about this but I can’t guys,” Mhlongo told his 5 million followers.
“Did Julius Malema, just pull a Beyonce stunt at the EFF rally, at FNB stadium, with that red lift going up, with the para techniques and special effects going up?”
“Did Julius Malema just took my idea, under my feet, like a rug pulled under my feet? Because that was the plan I had when I became the first openly gay president. That was my inaugural appearance plan.”
