Red October, Julius Malema and the end of the Rainbow Nation

The statistics are against the outrage of this Red October movement. While South Africa is one of the countries with the worst violent crime statistics in the world, violent crimes against whites account for less than 2% of the total in the country. The claimed 'white genocide' simply does not exist. Unfortunately, everyone in South Africa is exposed to extravagant violent crime rates.

At roughly the same time, a young man called Julius Malema recently presented the newest political party in South Africa; the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF). Julius, also affectionately known as Juju, is no stranger in South African politics. For quite some years, he was the President of the Youth League of the African National Congress (ANCYL). Leaders of youth leagues of political parties around the world often have radical ideas and big mouths. This was no different for Julius. His mouth often was so big however, that he often embarrassed ANC leaders and policy. His populist and often openly racist remarks got him suspended and eventually expelled from the ANC.
