Now Superman wants a piece of Malema

Johannesburg - A KwaZulu-Natal man dressed in a Superman cape had to be sedated at a shopping centre this week after jumping on car bonnets and shouting, "I am looking for Julius Malema", The Citizen reported on Friday.

The man, wearing short pants and no shoes, threw shopping trolleys around the supermarket on Wednesday before jumping on car bonnets and kicking a truck, according to the report.

Police had to escort him to a nearby police station.

He told a local journalist that he was Superman from the clouds, sent by a guru to kill someone whose name started with the letter J.

 

He then said this person was suspended ANC Youth League president Julius Malema.

"This is my mission - to kill him," he said.

The man was taken to Dundee hospital to be sedated.

He could face charges of malicious damage to property.

The ANC's national disciplinary committee suspended Malema from the party for in effect five years on Thursday and ordered him to vacate his position.

 

He was found guilty of provoking division within the ANC and of bringing the organisation into disrepute.

This was after Malema said earlier this year that the ANCYL would send a team to Botswana to consolidate local opposition parties and help bring about regime change there.
