Newsletter| EFF leader Julius Malema has described the use of former leaders on the campaign trail by the DA and ANC as a “sign of desperation”. Malema says it will take at least 40 years for the EFF to have its own veterans
The EFF will also hold a rally at Orlando Stadium, Soweto, on Sunday, the same day as the ANC’s rally.
Malema’s five-year-old party, which will be taking part in its second general election next week, is without veterans of its own.“We don’t want to be like other opposition parties who claim the veterans of other political organisations. We are too young to have a veteran, we will only have a veteran after 40 years of existence,” Malema told City Press last week on the sidelines of a community meeting in North West on Friday.
DA leader Mmusi Maimane said the appearances by Leon last week were aimed at ensuring that the DA’s message of “a job in every home” was received by all. “She is speaking because she is finishing her term as premier and she is a DA premier, you can’t change that fact.” “The ANC is recruiting the EFF so if they get together they can expropriate land without compensation. So in a national election we have to fight for the defence of section 25, for redistribution of land within the Constitution. Voters must know that,” added Maimane.
