One of South Africa's most influential and polarising political figures — examined with investigative rigour.
Written by journalists Micah Reddy and Paul van Wyk, Malema traces Julius Malema's rise from the ANC Youth League to the helm of the Economic Freedom Fighters. The book unpacks his fiery rhetoric, grassroots appeal, and the controversies that have defined his career — offering both a portrait of a man and a reflection of South Africa's shifting political landscape in the 21st century.
Discussed for its political biography depth, youth leadership themes, and contemporary relevance to South African democracy. Early Goodreads reviews highlight its balanced and investigative approach (~4.0/5).
Recommended for readers of Nelson Mandela's Long Walk to Freedom, Mark Gevisser's The Dream Deferred (on Thabo Mbeki), and anyone engaged with South African political nonfiction and investigative journalism.
