In a shocking turn of events, notorious radio personality Ngizwe Mchunu has sparked widespread outrage with his inflammatory comments about Julius Malema’s health. The former Ukhozi FM presenter’s scathing remarks, made in a viral Facebook video, have left many questioning his motives and decency.
Malema, the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) president, has been at the center of concern lately due to his noticeable weight loss. While many have expressed genuine worry about his well-being, Mchunu saw fit to use the situation as fodder for his own brand of sensationalism.

The backlash was swift and merciless. Netizens took to the comments section, slamming Mchunu for his insensitivity and lack of empathy. Vuyo Mrider Mango Khumalo succinctly captured the mood, saying, “We don’t disrespect each other about situations like this… disability, death, and blood sickness is the last thing we can play with.” Amanda Ngcamu was even more blunt, labeling Mchunu “a stupid boy” who will eventually face the consequences of his actions.
Mchunu’s antics are nothing new, of course. As a seasoned provocateur, he’s built a career on pushing boundaries and courting controversy. However, this latest stunt may have crossed a line. As Ntsele Mdu so eloquently put it, “I heard you need to be rushed to Sterkfontin.” Ouch!
Love him or loathe him, Ngizwe Mchunu has undoubtedly become a lightning rod for controversy. As he continues to dance along the thin line between satire and slander, one can’t help but wonder what’s next for this polarizing figure.
