US EditionUK declines Malema visa application due to his ‘extremism’
- The United Kingdom denied South African politician Julius Malema a visa for the second time within two months, blocking his entry as of mid-June 2025.
- This decision follows Malema's public support for Hamas, a group banned in the UK, along with his past controversial statements raising concerns about his conduct and associations.
- Malema was previously prevented from participating in a student event at Cambridge University after submitting his visa application late and being considered a risk to public order.
- A letter from the UK Home Office dated June 17, 2025, stated future visa applications are unlikely to succeed unless Malema changes his stance, while the civil rights group AfriForum welcomed this decision.
- The Economic Freedom Fighters condemned the visa refusal as cowardice and an attempt to silence dissent, indicating Malema will not alter his beliefs despite the UK’s firm stance.
