A 2017 video of Malema “prophesying” about Helen Zille remerged in November.

Malema's treatment of Maimane started changing when he handed in his resignation as DA leader and an MP.“I'm not home, but when I come back we should have lenakana la monna wa mosepidi [a chat over whiskey]. You are a good human being, don't be discouraged, my big brother.”Malema and Maimane joined hands in August to celebrate the former Johannesburg mayor's 60th birthday.

The two were spotted in a group photo, posted by the EFF, enjoying themselves alongside lawyer Tembeka Ngcukaitobi and EFF national chairperson Dali Mpofu.Malema said President Cyril Ramaphosa was behind Maimane's downfall, not Zille. TimesLIVE reported Malema as saying: “Look at what Cyril did to Maimane. All of you are saying Helen Zille, Helen Zille. It is not Helen Zille, it is Cyril.”Taking their “bromance” further, the pair joined hands at the National Day of Prayer at FNB Stadium in Johannesburg last month.

Malema and Maimane were among guests at the service, hosted by the Patrice Motsepe Foundation and 33 religious and faith-based organisations.
