BLF eyes 10 seats in Parliament, seeks to unite all 'black parties' | tshidi_lee SAElections2019
Black First Land First members led by Andile Mngxitama and Zanele Lwaini protest in Centurion.
In a one-on-one interview with News24, Mngxitama said:"We just need enough votes to have a voice in Parliament."Despite the controversy that surrounds the party, he is heartened by how people have responded to it. On Monday the BLF lost a legal battle over its slogan"Land or Death" in the Equality Court, which ruled that it constituted hate speech. The court gave the party a month to remove the slogan from its website and regalia.
"We are treated unfairly by Chapter 9 institutions, in particular, the Human Rights Commission," said Mngxitama. Mngxitama and his party members often clash with the media, defend and support former President Jacob Zuma and the Guptas, and disgraced Eskom officials Brian Molefe and Matshela Koko.
