Dear reader, 

Julius Malema. Commander-in-chief to some. Calamity-in-chief to
others. His fans see him as the one who will deliver young black South
Africans from poverty to posterity. His detractors loathe him as the
evil incarnate of fascism who will torch the last vestiges of what
works in South Africa in his party’s bid to nationalise the heck out
of everything.

DELIA LANGENHOVEN: Love him or loathe him, Malema cannot be ignored or
wished away.

HEATHER ROBERTSON: You’re right. He leads the third-largest party in
South Africa and, depending on whether Jacob Zuma’s MK party
disappears in a dust cloud after it self-implodes, or survives its
game of jaded militaristic bones, Malema’s EFF could be a kingmaker
in any number of coalition permutations if the ANC loses its majority.

_ _

Over the past few weeks Daily Maverick associate editor Ferial
Haffajee has been following Malema, watching him engage with
intellectuals and getting down with the people. In this week’s DM168
newspaper, read about Ferial’s insights into the man vying to unseat
the DA as the official opposition. 

		 

HEATHER'S HIGHLIGHTS

We all need a tickle of the funny bone, so don’t miss satirist Shaun
de Waal taking the piss out of election posters and their many other
uses, which are far more practical than far-fetched political
promises.

DELIA LANGENHOVEN: Hey, Heather. What's the difference between
government and gangsters?

HEATHER ROBERTSON: Only one of them is organised._

Ja, hey. In the case of South African politics, where every sphere
of  disorganised government is somehow captured by organised crime,
your joke rings frighteningly true. I was absolutely intrigued by a
story in this week’s paper by our crime cartel expert Caryn
Dolley. 

Read Caryn’s fascinating story about the UK drug convict who is
fighting being deported to South Africa for fear of being assassinated
by the 26s gang. In this bizarre story, she helps us to understand the
underworld web of the number gangs in South Africa and their main
players.

		 

SPOT THE PICTURE IN DM168

Look out for Keith Bain’s sneak peek of Cape Town City Ballet’s
jazzy new production,_ I’ve Got Rhythm_. It’s an adventurous debut
production by the company’s new artistic producer, David Nixon, and
it brings together many performing arts tribes of the Mother City.
