— Moses Moses (@mosesmoses233) November 25, 2015According to Business Day, the EFF leader was asked by concerned members of the SACC in London to tone down his rhetoric, but he refused.
The paper reports that Malema and Investec’s Stephen Koseff had a "robust exchange".
According to Malema they found it interesting and aren&39;t scared of robust exchanges.
