Malema in prank 'Obama' call
Johannesburg - Local radio deejays have been playing clips of a prank phone call on the often-ridiculed ANCYL President Julius Malema, in which new US president Barack Obama supposedly calls him.
The call was made by 94.7 Highveld Stereo DJ Darren "Wackhead" Simpson who used clips of speeches made by Obama, and aired the conversation on his breakfast show on Wednesday.
Malema later denied receiving any such call, prank or otherwise, in an interview with The Times on Thursday.
But a journalist at an ANCYL press conference on Thursday recorded Thabo Kupa, the ANCYL Provincial Secretary for Gauteng, confirming the call and calling it a "serious conversation".
In it Malema was reticent and aloof. "I hear you have a question for me? We wanted to call up and answer it personally," asked the Obama clip.
"No. I don't have any question. I just got a call here and they said that you are calling to me, mos," replied Malema.
"You've lost your way, brother," said "Obama" at another point to which Malema only answered "Mmm."
