Malema alleges that he is the target of a "state-sponsored" threat.
Malema alleges that his life is in danger.
Malema claims that the intelligence information he obtained indicated that he would be stabbed by a member of the parliament security staff. Malema was so alarmed by the threat that he alerted the deputy minister of police, but he was still waiting for a response.
Just minutes after being ejected from the National Assembly for interfering with the state of the nation address, Malema exposed this to the media.
He claimed that the attempt on his life was premeditated because those responsible knew the EFF would try to interrupt President Cyril Ramaphosa's speech.
Malema stated, "Crime intelligence advised me when I came here that there is a person deployed among the white shirts with a sharp object so that when I get pushed out I must be stabbed with the sharp object."
Every time Ramaphosa attempted to speak, EFF MPs raised points of order, which led to their expulsion from the National Assembly.
Parliamentary security personnel seized Malema and many other EFF MPs after they entered the platform with a placard.
They said that Ramaphosa cannot address the public because he has disregarded parliament by suing over the Phala Phala report.
According to the study, Ramaphosa must provide evidence to support his impeachment in light of what happened on his farm in Limpopo in 2020.
Malema claimed that by ordering the expulsion of EFF MPs from parliament, National Assembly speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula had violated the law.
"This is what happens when you disregard parliamentary procedures out of emotion. This must be ruled to be unconstitutional and unparliamentary because she broke every rule of the law, Malema stated.
In the meantime, ATM MP Vuyo Zungula, who was expelled from the room before the EFF, also complained.
Speaking to the journalists in front of City Hall, he said that Mapisa-Nqakula had mistreated him.
It is obvious that the speaker is intimidating MPs, and we won't stand for a timid legislature where the government is not held accountable.
She may be a member of the ruling party, but he declared, "We will use every force at our disposal to ensure that parliament is a parliament of the people of SA, not one of the ruling party where they will use the rules to repress members of other parties.
Ramaphosa continued his speech once the EFF members and Zungula were removed.
