Cape Town – EFF leader Julius Malema has dismissed accusations of being an “international criminal” over land expropriation claims, vowing he will not be intimidated by Elon Musk or Donald Trump.
Speaking at St. Paul African Apostolic Church in Soweto on Sunday, he defended his stance on land reform, asserting that restoring land ownership is key to black dignity.
“I’ll never be bullied by Elon Musk or Donald Trump for because I’ve never done any crime against anyone… Why do you make me an international criminal for asking for the dignity of black people. I have not committed any crime against anyone except to say let’s restore the dignity of black person. If you don’t have the land, you will never have dignity,” Malema said.

Musk recently called for Malema to be declared an international criminal over past controversial remarks.
The billionaire reignited controversy by sharing old clips of Malema’s remarks about “cutting the throat of whiteness” and called for immediate sanctions against him, urging that the former ANC Youth League leader be labelled an international criminal.
“Immediate sanctions for Malema and declaration of him as an international criminal!,” Musk said on X.
