Mzansi is losing its collective mind after Julius Malema’s former maid, a Zimbabwean woman named Rudo, revealed her baby boy to the world — and the internet swears the child is the carbon copy of the EFF leader.
What started as a proud mom sharing pictures from her son’s birthday celebration in Harare has exploded into one of the biggest trending topics of the week. In the photos, the little boy can be seen smiling in his tiny red tracksuit — and that’s all it took for South Africa’s social media detectives to go into overdrive.
“Haaibo! Look at that forehead and those cheeks — leadership DNA confirmed!” one user wrote on X (formerly Twitter), while another joked, “EFF Youth League has a new national chairperson.”
Memes are everywhere:
The frenzy has sparked debates online, with some demanding “the truth” from Malema, while others accuse people of dragging Rudo and her child into unnecessary drama.
So far, the EFF leader and his camp have kept completely silent, but that hasn’t stopped hashtags like #MiniJuju, #MalemaJr, and #DNAforJuju from trending nationwide.
Whether it’s just a wild coincidence or something deeper, one thing is certain: Mzansi isn’t letting this story go anytime soon — and until someone speaks out, the streets will keep buzzing.
