Julius Malema has responded to an attack by Agang SA leader Mamphela Ramphele comparing him to Hiltler saying, "I am disappointed in her. She promised a different style of politics which is dignified, but now she has resorted to name-calling. But I still love her and respect her."
Ramphele lashed out at Malema on Tuesday, likening him to Adolf Hitler or the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini. She was talking in Polokwane, Limpopo.
Beeld newspaper quoted Ramphele as saying: "Do not forget how Hitler and Mussolini emerged as leaders because desperate people were looking for an alternative.
"Malema is no alternative. Corruption charges are staring him in the face and he does not pay his taxes."
Malema refused to comment on whether he could work with Ramphele in the near future.
Ramphele's comments came as she delivered the Frederik van Zyl Slabbert memorial lecture at Pietersburg High School.
She said Malema's promise of land expropriation to desperate people was dangerous.
Ramphele urged people to use their right to vote in next year's election. "Use your mind and think of the future. Another five years of the current dismantling of our democracy will cause irreparable damage."
Meanwhile , Ramphele, in another attack on President Jacob Zuma, yesterday said many SA leaders fail to follow the Constitution.
