Lebo Keswa and Julius Malema’s feud on X

Lebo Keswa has reignited her public clash with Julius Malema, keeping their ongoing online feud firmly in the spotlight.

The drama, which has been playing out on X, stems from Keswa’s earlier claims that she once worked closely with Malema during his time in the African National Congress.

She alleged that she acted as a ghostwriter and was involved in communications alongside ANC Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula.

Malema was quick to shut down the claims, firmly denying any association.

The exchange soon turned heated, with Keswa firing back with personal remarks, including calling him “the president of illegal immigrants and Nigerians.”

The EFF leader responded with a blunt warning, telling her to stop dragging his name into what he described as “rubbish” and making it clear that the matter had become personal.

Refusing to back down, Keswa escalated things further by sharing a screenshot of Malema’s response and reposting commentary from other users.

One post she amplified referenced an old Economic Freedom Fighters student election poster featuring Malema’s slogan “Victory or Death!”, with a user questioning, “whose death it was.”

Her reaction to the exchange drew mixed responses online, with some users mocking her persistence while others followed the unfolding drama closely.
