The media hype focussed on Julius Malema is detracting the nation from addressing the real problems in South Africa.
The media, and in particular television, ascribes a huge amount of coverage to the actions of Malema to such a point of exclusion of all other key role players with regard to matters of vital importance to the social balance in South Africa. It is of vital importance that a form of balance is introduced and that other leaders may also be heard.
We quote the words of Defence Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula during an SABC radio interview broadcast:
"You can't just go on and on and on, and be going around mobilising funeral gatherings and agitating people to become ungovernable," she said.
She was reacting to Malema's plans to address members of the SA National Defence Force in Lenasia, Johannesburg on Wednesday.
"What are the consequences? I wish I knew. What I do know is that any responsible citizen in South Africa cannot associate him or herself with a person who wants to agitate and mobilise members of the SANDF against the state because they have concerns," said Mapisa-Nqakula. As quoted in http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/Malema-wants-to-turn-soldiers-on-state-20120912
We are calling for every person in the world to turn off their electricity for half an hour EVERY TIME they see the face of Julius Malema on their television screens in protest of media manipulation until 1 December 2012.
