Malema admitted that he had no idea what a loaf of bread costs during an interview with CapeTalk this week.
“I wouldn’t know how much is the price of a loaf of bread because I am in a position where I don’t have to go and buy a loaf of bread,” he said in response to a question about the price of the staple food.
