The EFF are ‘relatives’ of the MK, and will work with them to change legislation to improve the lives of SA’s people – Malema.
EFF party leader Julius Malema made it clear that the amendment of the Constitution to allow land expropriation without compensation within six months of forming a new Parliament, as well as the nationalisation of the South African Reserve Bank, are key conditions when engaging with possible coalition partners.
A few of the remaining coalition principles the EFF demands include the cancellation of historical student debt, the creation of a state-owned pharmaceutical company, and removing Die Stem from the national anthem. He told journalists that from now on, Parliament will be better positioned as a true representative of the people and will allow democratic decisions to be taken, rather than to protect the ruling elite.
While criticising the ANC’s 30-year rule, Malema said the EFF was open to entering into talks with the party, which was now ‘humbled’ by the huge loss in voter confidence they suffered. According to Malema, this will make it easier to work with the party as they can no longer make demands. “They can phone us; we are not going to phone them.”
