ANC Youth League leader Julius Malema says he plans to encourage "young black people" from the Eastern Cape to move to the Western Cape in a bid to disrupt Helen Zille's "whites-only" plan for the province.
Malema insisted that the chances of reconciliation with the Premier of the Western Cape are simply nonexistent.
"We will never make up with Helen Zille — she is an enemy of the revolution... she's a racist and will remain a racist," the Cape Times quoted the firebrand leader as saying.
"She has a racist agenda of making the Western Cape a province for whites only. If she had a way as premier to declare (which) people she wants in the province... for sure by now she would have declared the Western Cape for whites only."
Malema went on to reveal his plans to "disappoint" Zille.
"As the youth league we are going to encourage many young people, especially those staying the Eastern Cape, to start applying for houses and sites in the Western Cape, so that we have more blacks and Africans going to the Western Cape... to disappoint (Zille)," he explained.
Malema's opposite number in Zille's Democratic Alliance, Khume Ramulifho, had a chance to respond to the latest outburst.
"Julius is not aware of the population of the Western Cape... that about 60 percent is coloured. How does it become racism every time the DA says something? Maybe we need to engage Julius on his understanding of racism," Ramulifho said.
