South African comedian and The Daily Show host Trevor Noah is facing the wrath of his compatriots and others on social media after comparing the leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party, Julius Malema to US President Donald Trump in a comedy skit.
In the video which was shared on The Daily Show’s twitter page and later deleted, Noah weighed in on the recently ended elections in South Africa by spotlighting and introducing his audience to Malema and then went ahead to suggest Malema treats the press much worse than Trump.
“I don’t know what’s going to happen in the future,” Malema says in the snippet. “I’m saying to you we have not called for the killing of white people, at least for now. I cannot guarantee the future,” he adds before the video is cut.
“He just speaks about genocide like he’s talking about remodelling his kitchen,” Noah weighed in before further joking about it in a mimicked South African voice.
