Julius Malema punting Idols' Khaya

Cape Town - We all know who Julius Malema is voting for in this season's Idols finale.

The former ANC Youth League president took to his newly-acquired Twitter account on Thursday and asked his followers to vote for Idols finalist Khaya Mthethwa.

The 25-year-old Durbanite is facing off against 23-year-old Melissa Allison from Port Elizabeth in the competition's finale.

The tweet posted to Julius Sello Malema's Twitter account read as follows:

Let's all vote Khaya for Idols SA Season 8 by sending sms 08 to 37400. He's undeniably the best of all Idols and needs our support.

News24 reported earlier in September that the real Julius Malema had joined Twitter and is tweeting under the previous satirical Twitter account handle, @Julius_S_Malema. The account currently has over 226 000 followers.
