EFF leader Julius Malema’s speech at a conference in Harare today was cancelled at short notice after delegates boycotted the event due to the xenophobic attacks in South Africa.
According to dailysun report, Malema was set to speak at a Game Changer series event, and xenophobia was one of the topics he was going to address.
The organiser, Alpha Media Holdings Publisher Rita Chinyoka, said yesterday: “Unfortunately, a large portion of the delegates who had registered for this event started pulling out following the xenophobic attacks on foreigners in South Africa.
“It is most unfortunate that the timing of this event coincided with this situation and, therefore, we could not ignore the sentiments expressed.”
