South Africans Slam Julius Malema For Endorsing Burna Boy

South African politician and activist Julius Malema has become the subject of backlash following his support of Nigerian Afro-pop artist  Burna Boy.

A few weeks ago,  it was reported that the Nigerian Afro-fusion artist was scheduled to perform at “Africa Unite”, an anti-xenophobic concert in South Africa.

This news was met with negative reactions from South Africans who took to social media to voice their displeasure at the inclusion of Burna Boy in the concert.

A while later, a  petition letter written by musicians and organisers under the umbrella of Tshwane Entertainment Collective, to the Department of Sports, Arts and Culture raised objections against the concert and called for the department to pull its sponsorship of the event.

The petition letter particularly objected against Burna Boy’s inclusion in the concert.
