Julius Malema Says He’ll Choose Nigeria and Jollof Over U.S. Visa Restrictions South African EFF leader Julius Malema has dismissed concerns over potential U.S. or U.K. visa bans, saying he does not rely on Western approval and would rather travel freely across African nations. In a fiery address, Malema declared he would happily come to Nigeria for Jollof if barred from America, recalling warm receptions and hospitality during past visits. His remarks form part of broader criticism of Western influence and growing speculation over possible travel sanctions linked to his radical economic and anti-imperialist stance. #JuliusMalema #AfricaPolitics #USVisaBan
