Julius Malema claims people are being bullied by banks in South Africa.
During the EFF 10th Anniversary closing press conference that took place in Johannesburg, the political leader said banks in South Africa have been weaponised.
He backed up his claim by stating that his bank account has been closed by FNB.
he also revealed that his son who is 17-year-old struggled with opening a bank account as the banks have made it impossible for him.
The claim has garnered lots of attention, especially on social media.
