Julius Malema Calls For One Africa: Single President, One Currency, Unified Parliament, And Military At NBA Conference

South African opposition leader Julius Malema has renewed calls for a united Africa under one president, one currency, one parliament, and a single military command, urging leaders to dismantle colonial-era borders and foster continental unity.

Speaking on Sunday at the Nigeria Bar Association’s Annual General Conference in Enugu, the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) president said Africa must speak with one voice to secure its future.Nigerian cultural tourism packages

Malema argued that Africa, with its 54 sovereign states, vast mineral wealth, and human capital, has the potential to become an economic powerhouse if united.

He dismissed the notion of Africa as a “dark continent,” insisting that Africans have the capacity to create industries and process their own resources rather than allowing external powers to exploit them.

The EFF leader also called for visa-free movement across Africa, stressing that no African should require a visa to visit another African country.

Malema praised Nigeria’s role in supporting South Africa during the anti-apartheid struggle and urged both nations to lead the African Continental Free Trade Area initiative to boost economic integration and development.

He also warned African governments against reckless borrowing from international lenders like the World Bank, calling for stricter regulation to protect the continent’s economic sovereignty.

“We demand one Africa, we demand a borderless Africa, we demand an Africa with one president, one currency, one military command, with one parliament,” Malema said in his speech at a ceremony attended by thousands of lawyers and other distinguished personalities.

“We know the currency of Africa will be much stronger against the American currency. We don’t care what Donald Trump or any other leader thinks of us. Africans must refuse to be subjects of others. We must stand together as the world changes and show the world that Africa is one and equal to all nations."

Africa comprises 54 recognised sovereign states, each led by its own president or head of state. However, Malema is advocating for a unified African leadership under a single central authority.

“We are a shining nation. We must make sure that no single corner of Africa witnesses Africans killing each other. We must unite against the forces that seek to exploit us.

“The land belongs to Africans, and the minerals of Africa must be returned to Africans. We have the capacity to create industries and process our minerals here. We must never allow imperialist forces to divide us in order to take our wealth.

“Our salvation lies here, in Lagos and Johannesburg, in Abuja and Pretoria, in the hands of Africans who refuse to be divided,” Malema said.

He identified Nigeria and South Africa as critical drivers of Africa’s industrialisation and growth, urging both countries to provide leadership for the continent’s development

As long as Obi will be elected the president and someone from South Africa as Vice president.

I don’t want to share country with those SA people.... they're very toxic and violent.


I can't handle their jealousy and darkhearts.

I'd rather remain a Nigerian than have a universal leader that would likely cause war like the easterners are doing.

Good luck with that. We can't even manage one Nigeria!
And I'm sure even if we break up, parts of Yoruba, Igbo, and Hausa will still want their own countries!

Obi that never even get presidential ticket or hope from ADC or LP is whom you are even dreaming off. Some dreams are.bad dreams, just like proposing Obi is a bad dream. I can't talk of another future years after north 8years after Tinubu in 2031 if Obi will contest, by God's grace; maybe and just maybe I may even vote for him if there are no better candidate on ground I can support then. For 2027, realistically; he should safe his money, he can't be president of Nigeria.

Julius is out there in Enugu saying something his country people will never agree to. South Africa has developed way ahead of all African countries, including Nigeria.

While the entire African population is just like that of India, we are too divided to function as one country. I think the best we can do for in sub-Sahara Africa is to adopt the EU model. Have one currency and remove all travel restrictions, but we can't work as a country.

How I wish the person that has been carrying bad luck around never joined the Pan African movement. The movement would have grown more than this. But the moment the person joined the movement, the whole things crumbled

Did they offer him some oyel blocks or what ? . Now he will come back and sing Nigerian praises since he has now turned ** against Zimbos ( telling them to stop being cowards and go home and fight their Zanu Pf ) .....I never thought those words would come out of his mouth .

The man knows that South Africans would never vote for this rubbish ,he is just targeting poor countries with rich leaders ( wants a share of the riches inexchange for gaslighting South Africans on behalf of the paying migrant-producing nations). Unfortunately for them ,we are not backing down ( and I know deep down he insults us so that we would never vote for him ) ....the guy secretely doesn't want SA to be like most African countries but claims that's what he is working towards .

We have made no secret of how we feel about you. You don't see us flooding there, stop coming here in your numbers also . We are openly sick your people and migrants at large.

Save yourselves ( by staying the fck away from us)....very easy na

Take SA out of that equation entirely. We are not interested, that's why the mu×2 ain't our president. We want nothing to do with such union

South Africans are not only having issue with Nigerians but the other African black people.

The Zimbabwe who are in Southern Africa, how are the South Africans treating them?

The issue is, the SA people are yet to know the consequences of their behavior towards other African countries. You are yet to at all

I agree with all that you said except the bolded.

I'd say remove some travel restrictions but definitely not all

Lionessza6:
I said migrants at large ...read to comprehend not to react and gaslight

African migrants are majority of the migrants in South Africa, and not only that but majority of those who make a nuisance of themselves especially Nigerians, Zimbos and Mozas. We can't be guilt- tripped by you all...never!. When will you people start treating yourselves with some dignity? When will you hold yourselves and leaders accountable for why your nations are the way they are?. You think running around is the final answer ? .You will see be faced with the consequences of not prioritizing the development of your own nations with the growing resentment of the influx to the West( they are fed up and will soon explode) .

And lastly if SA is the problem of Africa then may SA never develop further ,but if other Africans are causing problems for SA and in SA ,may they be slaves to the younger SAns

Can we say Amen to that ?

Do you know how many Africans are in Nigeria? As long as you are black, Nigerians see every black as Nigerians.

The question which I am asking is, how are the South Africans treating the other black people from Africa, be it immigrants or those with the right documents?

Tell me how many non West Africans are in Nigeria? . Do you have millions of horners coming at you with their own vices ?
Do you have entitled Southern Africans demanding free Healthcare, education etc from you ?
Are East Africans coming there to kidnap,rape and kill?

If you have all these ,please show me the proof and I'll delete my account

You can never compare the mass migration SA is experiencing with that of any other African country,not to mention the strain on the infrastructure and basic amenities ( you don't even have those for your citizens, so why would migrants come there to demand such?)

Yes,Nigeria is a chaotic country where every black person can come in and do as you please,and we refuse to be that.. .why not leave us alone to be what we want to be ? Stop forcing your way of life on us...we don't want to be you.

It's funny how you have Westerners in your own country telling the Easterners to go yet here you are

You have the Easterners chasing out the Fulanis ,yet you think you'd be able to tolerate Somalis and Mozambiqueans doing rubbish in your backyard

Were Ghananians white when you chased them away? . Just imagine, you only had Ghana as your major migrant group yet you couldn't even tolerate that . Imagine 800 000 SA,10000000 Ethiopians , 500 0000 Congolese, etc you'd have committed mass genocide by now like you attempted in Eastern Nigeria that time

You wrote that long epistle without responding to my simple question.

How are the South Africans treating other black Africans

Let me add this question. Which any African country citizens are having issue in Nigeria like South Africa?

If you are not interested in responding to those questions straight, don't bother to waste your time to write another long epistle

They are treated how they deserve to be treated....ask yourself this....if truly most of them feel treated the worst in SA, why does SA keep on receiving black foreigners more than any other country in Africa...shouldn't they be running away from SA to places like Nigeria? . Kenyans, Ghanaians, Batswana,Namibians etc aren't claiming persecution in SA, why always the countries who dominate crime and chaos who are always complaining?


They can't have issues in your country because they are not interested in being part of Nigeria you smart one . How many Somalis have you seen this week on your streets? . How many Kenyans did you give free medicine to this month? . How many Sudanese children are competing for a desk with your most vulnerable children?
How many Zimbos are in your prisons for rape and robbery ?

Until you give me those answers ....I'm not letting go of your neck

Again, you are being mischievous with your answers.

Nigeria as a country don't discriminate other African countries, what the Nigerians are entities to , the foreigners also have reasonable entitlement as they are being treated fairly.

Can same be said about South Africa? You are taking about immigrants, using your health services, but please what do you expect the countries like UK and USA to say e en upon how many immigrants in their country?

When Trump stopped HIV funds in South Africa, did you see any other African countries putting mouth? When Ramaphosa was having issue with Trump about the white settlers, did you see any Africa getting involved?

South Africa don't need to learn in a bitter way that's only if they changed their attitudes towards other African countries or they might regret their actions badly in future

You can wish SA harm and evil all you want ,but God pass una

I said if SA are being unnecessarily evil to foreigners....may SA perish

But if migrants and in particular the African ones( since you made this about them) have brought harm,chaos and destruction into SA in crime and a burden to Infrastructure and basic amenities then may they turn to slaves to even the poorest SA.

Can we say Amen to that ?



You don't discriminate against other African countries because they have no interest in coming there in their numbers ? . When Ghananians were flooding your country ,what happened?


What are foreigners entitled to in Nigeria? . Do they get free medication? Do they not pay for education and their kid's feeding at your schools ?


In those first world countries especially the USA they are entitled to basic emergency Healthcare, which is what we want here. They must not qeue for medication for chronic illnesses and surgical operations for free. If they want that, just like in the USA,then they must pay for it. We can't be used and abused by foreigners in the name of Africanism and blackness

Name one country in Africa where foreigners are entitled to what they are getting here ....just.one country?


Why would you get involved in issues you were never invited in? . We are talking about the migrants in SA who are inserting themselves in our domestic issues after running away from their own troubles. Do you have that problem in Nigeria?

Nonsense post

Let me summarize the flops in your arguments.

The HIV funds that South Africa have been receiving through USAID before it was stopped by Trump, was the Americans the beneficiaries?

Other funding that South Africa have been receiving, was the funds meant for the citizens of the organizations?

You are simply saying what others are giving you for free, you can't render ordinary 10% of it to others

Again...you must think I'm an obidient or something


1. USAID only funded 17% of the HIV program in SA not the healthcare system of SA
2. USAID funds all African countries not just SA, so why are the rest of you not using that money to give yourselves free Healthcare?
3. Some People crosss the border solely for medicine and checkups ,the question is why are their own people not demanding for what they see in SA, who will hold their leaders accountable; Trump? South Africans?
4. USAID funded even more than health care in some African countries, what did they do with all those resources .
5. You think that was free money ? Why do think we were so happy when Trump freed us from that aid bandage.
South Africa isn't Africa's problem, your leaders and you are .

Someone offered you something but in your own case you are not interested in offering anything back.

Tell me which of the African countries that their people restrict black foreigners from using their health facilities apart from South Africa.

You guys are not even getting the points. You are treating your fellow Africans baldy in your country while the whites have been the one dominating the SA economy, which you guys have never challenged.

The Vice president to Ramaphosa is a white. Not black man.

Malema is just wasting his time about Pan Africa movement. He should let his charity begins from home

And respect laws,rules and the ways of the people where they go and do business ,I think you forgot that important part .

You were also given your own share ,why don't you have a free Healthcare for all ?


And lastly ,name one African country that does what SA is doing ; giving free Healthcare to anyone who wants without paying.....just one such country.

Your entitlement is sickening .

If the whites can be superior in almost everything in South Africa, that there are some whites area which blacks can never dare to enter, then you people fighting your fellow Africans is a lost cause
