According to News 24, the ceremonial slaughter was held in Magaliesburg on 13 July, where animals donated to the party were being prepared for the big bash.
In the video, a cow being held in a red cage can be seen with its head sticking out.
Malema then proceeds to use a small knife to stab the cow in the back of the head.
Unfortunately, he is unsuccessful in his first attempt, which prompts the EFF leader to repeatedly stab the cow in the back of the head.
