Male­mas recent out­burst at a BBC jour­nal­ist. To quote Khaya Dlanga from his recent arti­cle about the same thing:

He gave us phrases such as “tjat­jara”, “you behave or you jump”, “Chief, can you get secu­rity to remove this thing here”, “this is not a news­room this, this is a rev­o­lu­tion­ary house”. (I sus­pect he really wanted to say, don’t inter­rupt me ‘on’ my rev­o­lu­tion­ary house.) Then he spit out the words, “Don’t come out here, with that white ten­dency.” After Julius’s tirade the BBC reporter says, “That is rub­bish.” Malema retorts with a clas­sic I will never for­get, some­thing that will for­ever live in the annals of South African insults, “Rub­bish is what you have cov­ered in that err… trouser! That is rub­bish!” Then “Go out! Bas­tard! You bloody agent!” In a space of a minute and half Malema deliv­ered, not one, not two, not three but seven pure gems.
