'They are new in what they are doing. If you listen when they speak, they all imitate me,' said EFF leader Julius Malema about Operation Dudula.
in Mpumalanga over the weekend, Ramaphosa said he was concerned about the rise of the group and its alleged illegal actions.
“These things often get out of hand. They always mutate into wanton violence against other people and we’ve always said let’s act within the parameters of the law. “We cannot support a vigilante-type of move against a group of people, and particularly targeting them as foreign nationals because what we are doing then is just to divide our people on the African continent,” said Ramaphosa.
However, Fees Must Fall activist Bonginkosi Khanyile said instead of condemning Operation Dudula, the government needs to engage and address the movement and those who share its views. “The people who are in authority must make decisions and, equally, South Africans must have a voice on the matter. Politicians must take a clear stance on issues raised by Operation Dudula because they are genuine. They [Operation Dudula members] are not hooligans like they [politicians] want us to believe,” said Khanyile.
