Malema’s matric results are shocking!
I’ve seen a number of different places online talking about this topic, so I wanted to bring it to my readers.
Malema, ANC Youth League President scrapped through matric by the skin of his teeth. At first it was said that the report was fake, however, the Independant Newspapers have established that the results are real.
Doesn’t this scare you?
Talking of politics, governments and the rest, did you see how wide spread the video of Chairperson Nhlanhla Nene falling off his chair on SABC went? BBC, Dlisted and a number of other International places published it – viral video madness!

What’s scary is that all of that even qualifies as “scraped through”…

Oh Crap!
This guy is is barely as qualified as some taxi drivers!
My maid is a qualified nurse!
Maybe Malema can come wash my rims sometime!

@HoTsTePPa – Hahhahahahahha, what a laugh!

I’ve just recently returned to South Africa and I’m pretty dismayed at what I see happening here at the moment. I’m a bit concerned that everyone seems to think it’s ok to publish someone else’s personal data, regardless of who it is – I certainly wouldn’t want my matric results displayed for all the country to see!
Nevertheless, I guess he is a public figure and sadly probably a role model for quite a few youngsters (hopefully they won’t aspire to get E’s in their home language!)
Found a cartoon that summed it all up quite nicely on Wonkie – check out http://www.wonkie.com/2008/10/24/julius-malemas-matric-results/ .. enjoy!

@Sizwe – The publishing of personal information happens around the world, if it’s not in a the paper, it’s on TV, if it’s not on the TV, it’s in a magazine or on the radio, or even a blog. Unfortunately that’s how things go, we live in a day and age where people thrive off others mistakes..
Thanks for the cartoon!

What a dumbass. (if we can believe the the results are really authentic).
Oct 26th, 2008 at 12:39 pm
Hehe, the results are real RogerW..

Well here is a fun fact; according to a certain politics lecturer I know, something like 70% of MP’s are functionally illiterate – gasp! went the entire class in disbelief. But, he pointed out quite wisely – is this not representative of the population?
It may be true but I still don’t like it.

What I find funny, is that based on those stats, you hear about MP’s getting doctorates and things, rofl!
Nov 8th, 2008 at 1:47 pm
Chris come now, if you’re in the 30% of politicians that are functionally literate surely you deserve an honourary degree AND a mercedes at the very least.
Talita – perhaps you should tell that lecturer that politicians are meant to represent the population in a public forum – that does not mean they should be be representative of them!

@Sizwe: It was an interesting point but I won’t be telling this lecturer much – the same guy put the concept of abortion as murder to a class vote to prove his point then threw up his arms in triumph when most of the student put up their hands in support.
Now put opinion aside and consider that he was lecturing on the legal structure of South Africa and that the very reason that we have rule of law is to prevent mob justice. Not the sort of leader I think should be guiding young minds. It was just a shocking stat.

It is appualling that people like you can ridicule people in such a distorting manner.I seriously find it disturbing.
What makes me wonder is does the bright spark who came up with this even have a matric?
Dec 24th, 2008 at 1:56 pm
@sim – Forgive my ignorance, but what part of this is appalling? (Please check the spelling!)
You talk about “bright spark who came up with this”. I think that a subtle reminder that the image that is displayed above is legitimate and this is not the work of some talented photoshop user.
When you assume a position of leadership, it is naturally implied that you assume the massive public scrutiny that follows. This sets the tone for transparency and faith building between the leaders and his followers. Honestly though, I would prefer to be led by an intellectual rather than someone of this caliber.
Acquiring results like this requires a special kind of intelligence, that sadly (for you and his other followers) is not conducive toward good leadership attributes.
And staying with the humour, A quick joke: “Julius Malema wont be able to make cabinet!” ;)
Dec 24th, 2008 at 3:09 pm
DChetty… LOL! Good one! Although I don’t agree with you with regards to the correlation between intelligence and leadership attributes. Many morons get elected to senior public office because the voting public relate to them better. So they DO have the leadership attributes, it’s just a pity that these guys will make moronic leaders. Malema aside, look at Bush as a case in point ;)

@DChetty: Hahahahahaha :-)

we will be unfair to judge malema by the results he attained in matric.A number of factors might have led to this, inter alia: parenting,scarcity of resources etc. malema has improved ever since

Our ANCYL pres is jus plain dumb there is no xcuse 4 such bad results…he should b the 1 setting e.g 2 the youth out there but instead he s done nothing but to reck their brains
Jan 2nd, 2009 at 4:25 pm
I lol’d when i saw this results.The Exam this year was a walk in the park although I study that hard. Even though he “IS” part of the ANCYL,I wonder if he can for higher education. If he does, then that means this country is in a crisis. So this is more about skin color rather than ink on paper >_<”

higher grade C in english is a good symbol.i wonder if cope leadership ever attempted matric.please publish that also
Mar 2nd, 2009 at 2:05 am
Dat is a confidantial matter, that person who shows malema ’s result,must show his result too, to prove how good he is.
Mar 2nd, 2009 at 4:15 pm
Damn!he’s a natural.
Mar 3rd, 2009 at 7:27 pm
Lol
Oct 27th, 2009 at 10:09 am
haha! thought as much dat Malema is the dumiest judging by the way he talks the man has no respect at at all! he must go back to hes mommy 4 manners lessons……
Apr 14th, 2010 at 6:21 pm

Apr 14th, 2010 at 6:44 pm
