Malema was addressing supporters at the EFF's sixth anniversary at the KaNyamazana stadium in Mpumalanga on Saturday.

"The powerful has fallen - you (Gordhan) are nothing," Malema said.
According to Malema, once the EFF pronounces on the fate of an individual, the party will follow up on that promise.
"The same way the EFF said (Athol) Trollip in PE would go - he's gone. The same way we said Malusi Gigaba will go - he's gone. The same way we said Nhlanhla Nene would go - he's gone.
"So, Pravin Gordhan, you can come with all white journalists, you can come with all Indian journalists, you can scream and kick - your door is open, you are avoding to unavoidable.
"You must ask Zuma - we humbled him. The only way Zuma can speak now - he has to record himself on a cheap cell phone and post that video. No more TV for him."
Malema says unlike the opposition, the EFF is not scared of the South African Revenue Service or the Hawks.
"We are not scared to die. How can we be scared of prison? How can we be scared of SARS? How can we be scared of Pravin?
"We are not scared of anything. When we see an injustice, we go after it,” Malema said.
