Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) Commander in Chief Julius Malema has blasted President Emmerson Mnangagwa over the manner his administration treated the late former President Robert Mugabe in his last days.

Malema was in Zimbabwe today where he visited Mugabe’s Blue Roof mansion to pay his condolences to the family following the death of Mugabe on the 6th of September in Singapore.

Malema said Mugabe was tormented by the people who were now trying to hide their shame by declaring him a national hero and wanting him buried at the National heroes acre against his wishes.

The firebrand politician had no kind words for President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s administration saying they denied him his benefits including medical care resulting in his death in a foreign hospital in Singapore.

“I came to send my condolences and I did that on behalf of the people of South Africa on the people of EFF and to thank Mrs Mugabe for taking care of President Mugabe until the last minute we were here to tell her in person that we are very proud of her and she serves as an inspiration to a lot of us and that she must protect President Mugabe’s legacy with everything against any form of opportunism which will want to hide behind the legacy of President Mugabe even if they tormented him to the last day and we were giving her our support that we really support her and the family and we respect the last wishes of President Mugabe and that in our African tradition the words of the deceased cannot be undermined by anyone it doesn’t matter how powerful you think you are.

“There are certain things that the family would have agreed with the authorities about how President Mugabe will be looked after especially after office including provision of medical care, medical team and commitment to a certain benefit of former head of state and it didn’t happen, many of those didn’t take place,” said Malema while addressing journalists.
