Julius Malema’s Thematization of Afrocentricity and Blackism in South African Gendered Public Space

Abstract

Julius Malema’s public speeches do not correspondingly exude that dramaturgy which is theatrically discernable from the trajectory of youthful exuberance as some critics erroneously allay. Rather his speeches are embodiments of corollary of liberation ostensibly presented in oscillation to apparently dovetail into the motifs of Afrocentricity, transnational African development and Black’s consciousness in South African gendered space.
