There's a plot to kill Julius Malema, says EFF

Johannesburg - The EFF says its leader Julius Malema may be in danger and the party has increased its security to protect him.

The party said it has been alerted to plans under way to assassinate Malema which may involve hired assassinators with connections to drug dealers in various provinces.

Acting EFF spokesperson Tebogo Mokwele said the party believes these threats are real and has insinuated that they may stem from the party’s political growth in the North West province.

“The covert plans come from reliable sources who indicate that a small group of politically insecure and insane individuals from the North West Province have approached drug dealers and assassins in different provinces, particularly in the Western Cape to assassinate EFF president,” said Mokwele.

“The threats from this group of politically insecure and insane individuals are informed by the fact that the EFF is on the verge of politically defeating the ANC in the North West Province, and other provinces in the upcoming general elections.”

Mokwele said the party has not yet opened a case with police but has written to the Minister of Police Bheki Cele informing him of the threats and asking him to take action.

“The EFF has also worked on strengthening internal security because we are aware that cowards, who have no convincing alternate political programme against the EFF, are now resorting to thoughts of violent and fatal suppression of a genuine political alternative,” she said.

The ANC governs the North West and the EFF believes the people making the threats against Malema may be from the ANC.

“The ruling party is known for internal political killings to suppress its own members and activists, and it looks like they now intend to export the political killings to other political parties,” said Mokwele.

The 4 Steps to Giving Her Multiple Orgasms

Giving a woman just one orgasm is cause for celebration. But any woman who can climax once can probably cross the finish line again—and again. The ability to come more than once is biological gift exclusive to the fairer sex. A man has to wait for your refractory period to pass before they're ready for round two, but women don’t seem to need the same reloading phase, says Men’s Health sex advisor Debby Herbenick, Ph.D. A woman could experience her second wave of pleasure less than a minute after the first. But just because she can come twice doesn’t mean she will. Studies suggest that somewhere between 14 and 40 percent of women have had multiple orgasms in one session. How do you help her become one of the lucky ones? First, make sure that’s what she wants. Some women would rather cuddle after climaxing than be pressured into an encore. Next, remember that women differ dramatically in regard to how they can achieve one orgasm, l...

Buhari reveals why Babangida removed him as president

Buhari’s short stint back then ended in August 1985, following a palace coup led by his Chief of Army Staff, Ibrahim Babangida. He was eventually put in prison for three years. Speaking at the commissioning of new office complex for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Buhari claimed his removal was due to his stance against corruption. “My first attempt to fight corruption, corruption fought back successfully. I was removed from office and detained for three years,” he said. The president said in spite of that experience, his “objective of fighting corruption remained steadfast.” Buhari added that since his coming to office in 2015, he has made “very conscious decisions” to pursue the fight against corruption.
