Julius Malema Calls on Patrice Motsepe to Help Save Drip Footwear After Closure

EFF leader Julius Malema has voiced his dissatisfaction with the recent shutdown of Lekau Sehoana’s Drip Footwear company, raising concerns about the lack of efforts to save the business.

During a press briefing on Thursday, Malema questioned why there was no business rescue for Drip, asking why the company went straight to liquidation.

“Why is there no saving? Where is Patrice Motsepe when we need him?

If he’s a successful black billionaire, where is he when a young entrepreneur with such a promising future is going down?” Malema expressed, calling for intervention to save the company.

Malema also emphasized his concern for the workers who lost their jobs as a result of the closure and revealed that he plans to meet with Drip’s founder, Lekau Sehoana, to better understand what went wrong.

He added, “At face value, Drip was doing well, but we don’t know the internal issues. Drip is worth saving.”

The politician hopes to explore potential solutions, including calling on influential figures to help stabilize the brand and protect its employees.
