ANC Youth League president Julius Malema on Friday called Democratic Alliance leader Helen Zille "a racist little girl".

Malema said that Zille also had to report to "President Zuma" about the happenings in the Western Cape.

"She (Zille), the racist little girl, must remember that Zuma is her boss," Malema said.

"Helen Zille must report to Zuma about the Western Cape...the racist girl has not won ... all of them must call 'President Zuma', President." Malema said former president Thabo Mbeki should also call Zuma 'President'.

"This includes former president Mbeki...he must say 'President Zuma'.

"Zuma was fired at the Union Buildings ... Zuma is going back to the Union Buildings."

Malema was addressing thousands of tripartite alliance supporters at Workers Day celebrations at the Thomas Shabalala stadium at Lindelani, north of Durban.

Malema also thanked supporters for voting for ANC policies and not for an individual.
