'We made it clear then, and we still maintain the stance that since the Daily Maverick has become a political entity we will treat it as such.' ~ EFF leader Julius Malema
EFF deputy president Floyd Shivambu was justifying his party’s stance to not allow the publication to attend the EFF’s second National People’s Assembly.
“They don’t objectively investigate corruption and they have targets. The EFF is one of their targets,” said Shivambu. Earlier in the day, the South African National Editors forum accused the EFF of excluding specific media organisations from their events, and said this was “unconstitutional” and amounted to “intimidation”.The forum also announced that it will be approaching Parliament requesting that it sanction EFF leader Julius Malema for violating the Constitution through his party’s stance of not allowing the Daily Maverick access the party’s Nasrec conference.
