Mazzone’s challenge to Malema – seconds out!

Loading player...
Fighting talk! The challenger to the Supreme Limelight Taker and Gucci’s Favourite Customer – the yacht-cruising Mr Julius Malema – is none other than the DA’s Ms Natasha Mazzone, who is gloves off and ready to go. It’s the metaphorical equivalent of Muhammed Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard; one all mouth and insult and the other usually more discreet but determined to be equally menacing. Natasha Mazzone, the DA Shadow Minister of State Security is shouldering her way into the public spotlight, hitting Malema in all his vulnerable spots and hoping to elicit a response, ideally a public debate. I’d buy a ticket tomorrow. She’s reporting Malema to the South African Security Agency for subversion, terrorism, sabotage and organised crime while challenging him to a debate to clear up what he means by his threats and utterances. You could say she’s the archetype of the privileged white madam; the kind that this privileged black diamond detests. Should be fun! C’mon Julius. Learn more about your ad choices.
