Having the ability to connect to the grid illegally is leadership, says Malema WorkersDay MayDay Elections2019
Johannesburg - EFF leader Julius Malema has defended residents who use illegal electricity connections in townships and informal settlements, saying his government would not punish them if the red berets assumed power.
Alexandra is one of the country’s most congested, with many people erecting illegal structures and connecting to the grid illegally. “That is not illegal connection. That is leadership. You are providing leadership where there is no leadership. An EFF government will never call you izinyokanyoka for connecting electricity. If we find you, we are going to fix it properly for you instead. If ordinary people can do it, it means government can perfect it,” he said.
“If you want to know what black people are subjected to all over the country, you must come to Alexandra. If you wanted to know what the ANC has done in the past 25 years, come to Alexandra,” he said.
