Malema, who founded the party in 2013 after his expulsion from the ANC, was elected unopposed to the position of president late on Saturday night.
But in his organisational report, Gardee was more explicit and referred to the Malema's current legal troubles.
"The NPA should take important lessons on the history of the PAC and what happened to it following the imprisonment of its leader Robert Sobukwe. Should the state one day achieve its arrest of the CIC … even for a few years, our organisation will draw backward and become what the PAC became once the apartheid state put Robert Sobukwe behind bars," said Gardee.
These statements could be read to mean that EFF top brass envisages Malema to stay as party president for decades to come. Malema is currently frequenting court over his agitation of EFF supporters to occupy privately-owned that is not occupied.
