Malema was found guilty of bringing the ANC into disrepute and suspended from membership of the party for five years last week.
NUM general secretary Frans Baleni laid into him for leading an opulent lifestyle and "pretending" to be fighting for the poor.
He lashed Malema for organising his "economic freedom" protest last month, in which thousands of young people marched from Beyers Naude Square, in central Johannesburg, to the Chamber of Mines, and to the JSE stock exchange in Sandton, and the Union Buildings, in Pretoria.
"There are people located within the working class, but by behaviour and conduct, and what they have accumulated, they are not working class. We must move away from demagogic tendencies. Can you imagine Patrice Motsepe marching , saying he is demanding RDP houses for the poor while he lives in big houses and drives the most expensive cars?
"Working class, your future is in your hands; don't be misled," said Baleni. [Timeslive]
