What’s Behind Malema’s Slimmer Silhouette?
According to reports from The South African, Malema is sticking to a strict exercise regimen and has even cut sugar out of his diet. This disciplined approach is clearly paying off, but it’s not without its critics and concerns. Some supporters are worried about his health, wondering if there’s more to the story than just a fitness kick.

Interestingly, Malema himself has acknowledged the importance of physical fitness in leadership. He once shared that Nelson Mandela told him, “You can’t lead people if you’re overweight.” Whether this advice stuck with him or not, it’s clear that Malema is taking his health seriously now. But is this just about looking good, or is there a deeper message here?
South Africans React: Trolling, Jokes, and Genuine Concern
When news of Malema’s weight loss hit social media, the reactions were as varied as they were entertaining. Some South Africans expressed genuine concern for his well-being, while others couldn’t resist the opportunity to make a joke. Let’s take a look at some of the funniest and most heartfelt comments:
“Has he got a slow puncture?” — Shaun Nathanson
“Julius Sello Malema is losing weight like EFF losing support.” — Thabiso Monnakhotla
“Juju must come to Klipfontein Clinic at Witbank and ask for Sister Jabu. One week will be enough. That sister has got magic healing.” — Maphefo Maluleka
“Our CIC must eat pap to gain a bit of weight.” — Selby Mselbana
“CIC, please pay attention to your health. We love you.” — Tebello Charles Tsoeu
Of course, no conversation about Malema would be complete without a few good-natured jabs. One user joked, “He looks like Chester Missing,” while another wondered, “Is Julius on Herbalife?” Even George Mkhwanazi chimed in, suggesting that Malema should go back to drinking Heineken to add a little “tummy” back.
For those who are truly concerned, Thandile Main Man summed it up perfectly: “I just wonder what is happening in Malema’s lifestyle. It’s worrying now.” Clearly, Malema’s weight loss has sparked a mix of emotions, from admiration to concern.
Lord Gayton Joins the Conversation
Meanwhile, over in the weight loss world, Gayton McKenzie is celebrating his own success. The Minister of Sports, Arts, and Culture recently shared that he’s dropped even more pounds, and he playfully teased Malema, saying, “Julius knows my secret.”
McKenzie joked that his weight loss was due to “running after crocodiles,” a not-so-subtle dig at the EFF leader. While it might have been a lighthearted comment, it certainly added fuel to the fire of speculation. Are these two leaders secretly competing in a fitness challenge, or is this just another example of political banter?
