“We [must] sell that parliament, take the proceeds from the sale of that parliament and build a proper parliament,” said Malema.

“We are going to sell and build. So we are saving a lot of money. It may not be in the immediate but in the long term. Removing flights and all types of luxury will make us save money.”

This week the EFF said the funds that would be used to repair the damage to parliament should be channelled to relocating it to Tshwane. The party said keeping parliament in Cape Town was “maintaining the pact of the British and Afrikaner settlers”. “To maintain this colonial pact of how we organise our society is nothing but a betrayal of African people and a reaffirmation that white racist spatial and political planning still overdetermines our lives in this country,” the party said.“We all should agree that instead of repairing this colonial establishment, parliament must be relocated to a central and easily accessible area where the administrative capital is. Keeping parliament in Cape Town is plainly illogical.

The EFF's proposal was met with a backlash from many, including DA federal chairperson Helen Zille and former MP Phumzile Van Damme, who questioned the financial, infrastructure, employment and constitutional implications of such a move.

Theres nothing wrong with that parliment as long as he is collecting his astronomical salary

Dry up Effluent!

Yes!! Or use a stretch tent under an tree somewhere. Then u can take parliament to the people

Absolutely NOT. A beautiful historical building which has served it’s purpose perfectly well until a complete arsehole tried to destroy it! Now Mr 💩, you are a a very unpleasant trouble maker and a thief, and we are taking all your stolen VBS funds to restore it!

Will someone please help Julius out and explain you cannot sell a burned out building for R 100 billion required to pay for a new parliament shack....?

Why don’t you f$cking pay for it then!

You mean something like this? And it will set the taxpayers back a few billions of Rands?

We not forget Nkandla tea something wrong with that tea

🙄🙄🙄...kanti guys which brains did you refresh during holidays?

You say we? 🤔 Really!!! Weeeee can't even build proper toilets for skool kids

Uyabheda as usual! A leader by chance!

Pay VBS Bank loot

Idiotic suggestion

After new cars, watches, holiday houses, extra wives and as stash offshore ... wena, we will just worship amongst the trees.

Ag No. He was quiet for a long time giving us peace & leaving the bleating to Clown in Charge No 2, CIC2. Now he comes up with a weird, but not unheard of suggestion of selling up &building a 'proper parliament'. Same as Dr PhD said. I thought this was the proper Parliament.🙄🤔

He needs to enrolled for school again. Something is not right. Sell parliament? ...voetsekANC

A sell out will always be a sellout.

Saw no complaints of it not being a proper parliament back in 1994.

Real contradiction..he should have said ppl must be given parliament land moos..(sell that parly)

Agreed! And build it in Pretoria. Far more efficient.

Sell? But doesn't the EFF believe that the state should be custodians of all property, isn't this a contradiction of its policy, another convenient Flip Flop?

Seems there was nothing wrong with properness of parliament back in 1994

malema knows nothing about economics

Let him build a Proper Bank first!

😂🤣😂 JuliASS not so early in the year.

Hendricksnino77 I am so excited and grateful to you 🥰 Hendricksnino77 with the management of R25.500.000 and you gave us this opportunity to shine and get rich in this company, thank you very much Mr Hendricksnino77

Malema only wants to steal

Maybe he must be sold first!!!!

Your opinion doesn't count. Will you carry the costs? South Africa doesn't have money!

Malema se MSP! EFFluent!

The Times Live media is a bigger joke than Malema. 👏 👏 👏

He needs to sober up

Talking nonsense like usual.

Sell what? The land is not owned by parliament.

Hey juliass we don't need a proper parliament we need a proper government.

What Does Malema Understand Under 'Proper Parliament?

I support him on that

Julius_S_Malema ag jirre you so irrelevant and irritated by yourself just go and plant some cabbage on your farm if you still have it

Setlatla!

Ag just use Zoom

The value of Parliament is now only in the land but EFF economics believes you can buy land, build a new parliament & MP housing, relocate all parly staff, library & artefacts for the land value. Let's say it takes 10 years for an ANC govt to build that, what abut the interim?

I hardly ever agree with childish,racist,stupid & Ill informed Malema but...agree with selling ( old parliament/homes /offices/cars etc in Ctown & creating New,HI tech Gov/parliament in Pta.

Really, we must safeguard British imperialism and protect Britain from crimes against humanity committed to the Khoi and San
