Malema didn’t mince his words when talking about the controversial land expropriation issue.

He told hundreds of supporters that no one respects people who are propertyless.

“How do u say we are wrong by asking people to go and occupy what is rightfully belonging to them. It is your property. I can’t say to you go and occupy your house and I’m told I’m doing a wrong thing. The land belongs to you, you must continue to occupy, it’s your land.”
