Pretoria - SOUTH African opposition leader, Julius Malema has urged Zimbabweans to gather courage and boot out President Robert Mugabe.
Malema, the leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), said Mugabe’s refusal to step down after 37 years in office has destroyed his “legacy”.
“I like #PresidentMugabe for his contribution towards African revolution but his overstay is destroying his legacy.
“A good leader should have produced 2nd & 3rd layer leadership to continue the good fight against imperialism. Zimbabweans should remove him & reclaim their country,” Malema said in a tweet.
Early this year, Malema urged Southern African Development Community (SADC) leaders to gather courage and tell Mugabe to say his ‘Goodbye’s’ and step down.
Malema said the regional bloc, SADC, must draw courage and inspiration from the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) that forced former Gambian leader, Yahya Jammeh into exile in January.
Jammeh - who refused to step down despite earlier conceding defeat in a December presidential poll - was forced into exile in January ending 22 years of his rule following threats of military intervention by ECOWAS.
