Malema criticises US foreign aid cuts and claims deeper imperialist motives

Julius Malema, the leader of South Africa's Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), has criticized the United States for its decision to cut foreign aid to several African countries, including South Africa, claiming that the move reflects deeper imperialist motives. Speaking at a press conference, Malema argued that the U.S. is attempting to punish nations that do not align with its geopolitical interests, particularly those fostering relations with countries like Russia and China. He highlighted that the aid cuts are not just about financial support but are a strategic move to exert control and influence over African politics. Malema also pointed out the hypocrisy in U.S. foreign policy, where aid is used as leverage to enforce compliance with American agendas, while ignoring the developmental needs of the recipient countries. He called for African nations to seek alternative partnerships and to resist what he described as neo-colonial tactics by Western powers.
