South African leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters Julius Malema, has sparked widespread reactions across Africa after a viral video shared on X of him dismissing the possibility of a U.S. visa ban.

The firebrand politician insisted that he would rather visit fellow African nations particularly Nigeria than seek approval from Western governments.

Speaking at a recent EFF rally, Malema declared that the movement’s positions, which often challenge U.S. foreign policy, might provoke Washington, but that he would never retreat because of American displeasure.

“When we do that, you must know we are doing that against America. It will never like that. But are we going to retreat because America doesn’t want us to do that? Never,” he told cheering supporters.


“Even if America decides that I should no longer enter America, it’s okay. I will enter Zimbabwe. I’ll enter Botswana. I’ll enter Nigeria. I’ll enter Africa—my home.”

In a humorous moment, he praised Nigerian cuisine over Western food.


“Why should I be concerned about people who are going to feed me beggars and make me fat, when I can go to Nigeria and eat jollof? Nice, nom nom,” he said, recalling a warm reception in Enugu State where he was served jollof rice and pepper soup by the governor.

Malema continued with his trademark fiery delivery, declaring, “I’m a guy who is sweating but will not stop. Sweating but not stopping. That’s how nice Africa is.”


His comments come amid increasing speculation that U.S. and U.K. authorities may impose travel restrictions on him due to his stance on land reform, anti-imperialist rhetoric, and calls for radical economic transformation.

Rather than shy away, Malema used the moment to emphasise African solidarity as a counterweight to Western influence.

Malema concluded by shrugging off potential visa threats.

“So you want to threaten me that you won’t give me a visa to America or give me a visa to London. I don’t care.”

I have so much respect for Julius Malema, you cannot intimidate him

The only sane and fearless south African alive,that's after the death of Nelson Mandela...

These days,to find one south African Who has a heart of kindness,I mean towards his fellow black skin negro, ought to be the hardest and almost impossible task on planet earth currently

The same man that is calling for the massacre of the white south Africans. Why won't they block you. Smh..

African solidarity and brotherhood...


It's only when we face challenges with the west that we remember it, pick it up, dust it and then wear it.

Other times we mostly remain divided as African.

Well, as the Arabs would say: I and my brother against our cousin. I, my brother and cousin against the world.


*By the way I think he meant burgers and moi moi. Not sure if it's the direct transcript of his speech or if it's a typo error from the op!

I don’t know what a US visa ban really does when you wealthy.

I have really thought it deep and can’t even figure out one thing that makes a US visa impactful for a successful being.

What exactly will mandate you to want to be in the US? From healthcare, education, security, real and virtual investment, or even tourism, you have better choices outside the US.

The only reason you might BE mandated yo be in the USA is if you plan yo wage a war.

He is very much welcome to Nigeria.

Nigeria is open to Africans. We're not like black SA

It's an amazing country with all the seasons of this planet in one country.
It houses every topography in itself
Also, it entertains all the natural disasters in itself too🤣🤣🤣
Financially, it houses 1/3 of the world's wealth

Below is a typical TINUBU supporter. Even Tinubu your mentor wishes to meet with Trump and align with America.

Just see person reasoning below..abeg

As long as FG can continue clearing the miscreants causing insecurity, our tourism sectors should be able to boom.

Foreigners are still visiting just that they are not going to the troubled areas

If you want happiness and rest of mind with your money, avoid USA. You can go to jail anytime, not necessary you commit any serious crime

When you consider the USA taxation system, it's more like you are working for the government for free

On average of 35% tax annually

As far as I recall Mr. Man has always pushed for better conditions and life for the people.

Enjoy Nigerian jollof rice! Welcome to Nigeria.

You still failed to answer the question!

What reason!

What does meeting Trump do for an average me? What impact does it make?

If I decide to get the best of anything in life, US is not a destination and the statistics available to you don’t lie!

So you mean I personally don’t know I can feel winter in Russia and summer in Kano, or I don’t know where to locate different terrains on the map or just by using Google!

You said 1/3 of the world’s wealth, has it made everyone in the USA rich? Same one with housing, drug and mass shooting epidemic? No country is perfect and every country has that downside. But denying me a visa to just one country practically changes anything.

I can get the best of ANYTHING without visiting the US.

Malema is a bone-headed miscreant

It's your choice ..

Don't generalize your choice on others.

Even Europeans with their uppity attitude will in most cases gave all to live the American dream.

Let alone , people like you that glorify LAGOS slums and NIGERIA shyte hole as epitomes of civilization.

All your politicial class in RONU-bandit kingdom, wish to be in America. Even kundus Oluomo has his children domiciled in America.

Rest abeg...

Similar to when someone said Fulani bandits are our brothers. That's how dirty politics is in Africa.

Some political statements are made just to rouse their base or get more leverage.

Wannabe!

Have you been to the slums of Arkansas , Texas or Missouri? Oh it’s only Nigeria you have slums?

Lagos is not developed but you can never be killed inside a school, Church or Mr. Biggs.

People own in Lagos, not debtors. Healthcare and education don’t run people bankrupt.

Of course, the same way the white South Africans are massacaring the black Africans too. I can tell you that globally, 70% whites see we blacks as monkeys.

Big lie. Very big lie. Average of 35% tax in USA is a very big lie. Abi you think say US na Nigeria wey Tinubu wan use tax kill people. Abeg sofri sofri for the lie o! This isn't the usual propaganda.

They have

Electricity
Good roads
Basic amenities
Good Food
Jobs
Standard of living is basically comfortable, if you put in the work.


Now tell in NIGERIA where you enjoy these basic things...

Ps: in Lagos embassy personnel have been cautioned to walk in pairs and avoid dark spots. This is in LAGOS, let alone other parts of the country where people are killed per hour and your Government is complicit.

Leave talk ...

No be NIGERIA we dey so?

I have been to the slums in Missouri and some are better than your glorified cities and towns. The roads to some of these villages are tarred and free of potholes but are so narrow to drive on. And they have constant power supply. Can you say so for your mega cities that are still grappling with erratic power supply and good roads? Abeg don't compare anywhere in US to anywhere in Nigeria. US is far ahead of Nigeria in everything.

So that’s the only country that have all you listed?

I can never get the best of all of the above of o don’t visit the US?

Hello, we not yet there, but if we ever need the BEST of anything? We know where to go!

You still haven’t mentioned why anyone would want to be in the US? To get shot or amass debt?

You dey mind the TINUBU supporter. It has become so obvious that to become a TINUBU supporter and lackey, smarts is totally irrelevant.

Imagine talking about insecurities in these USA locations, but your NIGERIA army still keeps shut when known TERRORIST like GUMI, ISWAP, BOKO HARAM etc , make speeches in the open, kill and kidnap senselessly, and to the guy he is safe.

Any TINUBU supporter is basically empty

A slum is a slum! Stop polishing slums!

Roads leads to Ajegunle and Makoko! Stop making it look like everyone is rich and stable in the US. Even half of the rich ones thrive on debt-Spend the future at present.

We not there in Nigeria but we balking! More than half of our population own what they have. They are not debtors! Carpenters and plumbers send kids to medical school without debt. They don’t initiate kids into debt just for education.

Amass debt? Did they tell you to live above your means?

Please tell me a country of your dreams, because NIGERIA is actually a zoo and a Joke of a Nation.

A country where your own President is sitting at home

Can't he tour projects in all zones of his NIGERIA without fear?

Our president goes anywhere deemed fit! The insecurity in Nigeria is constrained to only regions.

Unlike the US, 50 states has experienced mass shooting in 2025! How about kidnapping? Dont even go there!

Statistics don’t lie!

I never said we perfect, but we better with the little we have!

Healthcare don’t cost a arm and a leg! Our system supports generation wealth! Not where you have everything and own nothing even when you bought outrightly!
