Economic Freedom Fighters commander in chief Julius Malema seems to specialise in pointing his finger at others.

However, as Malema knows full well due to his fall from grace in the ANCYL: it’s all-too-easy to get caught up in populist calls to replace leaders or tear down statues – and his own place in history isn’t set in stone.
