From tea with Zuma, flirting with GNU and Floyd exit, these are the EFF’s key moments since 2013 as red berets head to third elective conference
The EFF is currently the National Assembly's fourth-largest party at the moment, behind the ANC, DA and MK Party.Malema announced at a press conference in Soweto on July 26, 2013, that the EFF now had over 1,000 members, surpassing the 500-member threshold for IEC registration.The EFF dismissed MPs Khanyisile Litchfield-Tshabalala, Andile Mngxitama, and Mpho Ramakatsa in 2015 and suspended MP Lucky Twala.
In Parliament, the party continued to mount a strong push against the Zuma administration, with chants and theatrics such as the Pay Back The Money chants. Former EFF chairperson Dali Mpofu soon became Zuma’s lawyer on high profile matters after the meeting. He was part of the EFF delegation and he would later become one of the prominent EFF members to dump the EFF for the MK Party.Malema and the EFF have promised to build the Winnie Mandela Combined School in Alexandra, a school that would be built and named in honour of the Struggle hero Winnie Madikizela-Mandela.
The EFF were one of the first opposition parties to accept the May 29 elections, despite losing significant support. They announced they were open to speaking with the ANC in pursuit of forming a grand coalition.
