Julius Malema insists that he has never taken a bribe and is comfortable enough not to need it.

The ANC Youth League leader told a news conference in Boksburg on Gauteng’s East Rand that he could account for every cent in his bank account.

Malema was responding to questions about his lavish lifestyle and reports that business people had deposited money into the Ratanang Family Trust, named after his son, to ensure access to government tenders.

Asked if he had personally benefited from the trust, he told a reporter that it was none of his business.
