Malema challenges Cape Town mayor Helen Zille

ANC Youth League leader Julius Malema, who has ducked a public debate with his counterpart in the DA, instead wants a public spar with opposition DA leader and mayor of Cape Town Helen Zille.

Speaking on Cape Talk Radio on Tuesday, Malema labeled DA youth leader Khume Ramulifho a below-par politician who was only interested in raising his political profile at his (Malema's) expence. " The reason why he wants a debate is because he wants promotion. He wants to be recognised ".
