Malema said at the previous CCT meeting, the EFF had been positioned as an enemy of global imperialism and warned that fighting domestic and global capital could lead to political or personal destruction, starting with disinformation and escalating to invasion or assassination.
Just days after that warning, Trump identified the EFF as a threat during the meeting with Ramaphosa. Trump confronted Ramaphosa with baseless claims of white genocide and land seizures, screening EFF protests and labelling the party a danger.
“Today, members of the US Congress are demanding the release through legislation of what is referred to as the “Epstein Files”, which have become a growing concern for Trump and his administration and may lead to his impeachment and conviction”, said Malema on Saturday, adding that the EFF, which is a Marxist-Leninist and Fanonian organisation, has the goal toThe EFF leader Julius Malema has warned that US President Donald Trump and his policies is a danger to the world and should be removed from power.

South Africa reassures on trade ties with Russia amidst looming US tariffsThe Department of Trade, Industry and Competition (dtic) has sought to allay concerns regarding South Africa's trading relationship with Russia in the wake of US President Donald Trump’s recent tariff ultimatum.
Following Trump’s statement that US imports from Russia could face a staggering 100% tariff if peace talks regarding the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict do not bear fruit within 50 days, worries have mounted over what this means for countries engaging in commerce with Russia, including South Africa.
Russia produces 10% of the world’s crude, and it has been able to sell oil through discounted sales to China, India, Brazil and Turkey. According to the International Energy Agency Russia earned $192 billion from oil sales last year despite western sanctions.
The oil price heading for its first weekly loss in three weeks last week after Trump gave Russia a 50-day ceasefire deadline, with the Brent crude falling by 0.5% to $69.21 per barrel by Sunday.
South Africa, a member of the BRICS economic bloc alongside Russia, has already been grappling with the ramifications of heightened tariffs on its exports to the US.
With negotiations currently underway concerning 30% tariffs affecting key sectors – from citrus and wines to minerals and automotive exports – the last thing South Africa desires is further complications on the trade front.
Despite its modest reliance on Russian imports, the figures tell a nuanced story. South Africa’s bilateral trade with Russia has seen only a 7% increase, climbing from $806 million in 2023 to $864m in 2024.
In a wider context, Russia ranks as South Africa's 46th largest export destination and the 39th largest source of imports. This limited trade relationship implies that although Russia is an important ally in the BRICS bloc, the economic stakes remain relatively low.
The geopolitical battleground may complicate future transactions; however, the South African government remains keenly aware of the need to sustain a stable trading relationship with Russia while juggling the demands of the US market.
The dtic indicated that the dissimilarities in trade profile between South Africa and Russia may serve as a buffer against potential US sanctions.
South African exports have notably surged by 5%, reflecting the resilience of its agricultural products in Russian markets. Items such as citrus fruits, apples, and even consumer goods like refrigerators have managed to penetrate the Russian economy.
This expansion comes at a time when Western sanctions have compelled Russia to pivot towards alternative markets, with increasing reliance on discounted energy sales to nations such as China, India, and Turkey.
However, the dtic reiterated that while the unilateral sanctions imposed by the US and EU on Russia did not directly bind South Africa, they carried an extraterritorial effect.
This means that South African companies engaging in trade with Russia may face repercussions, including the inability to do business in the US and EU.
Notably, some Russian banks have been removed from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) system, presenting barriers in banking relations and payment infrastructures for South African businesses.
The dtic highlighted that despite sanctions affecting various sectors, there remains a segment of legal trade that continues unhindered. This gives South Africa a unique opportunity to bolster its agricultural exports to Russia, particularly at a time when Russia has imposed bans on food imports from several Western nations.
