Unethical behaviour by some members of the ANC in KZN will not go unchallenged as EFF leader Julius Malema says he will report them to the IEC for breaching the electoral rules.
“Yes, we will take this up with the IEC, we will take this up with the IEC, definitely,” Malema said when asked whether he would report the ANC or not.
That pitted EFF members against ANC members who were trying to break the human shield and stop Malema. At one point, there was a brief exchange of blows and insults when EFF members took on members of the governing party for their unruly conduct.Eventually, Malema left the station under the watchful eye of his bodyguards and went to another station at Willowfontein.
During the tense stand-off at Willowfontein station, EFF secretary-general Marshal Dlamini tried to lead EFF members to break the blockade by ANC members, but failed. After almost an hour of the stand-off, armed police arrived and called the leaders of both parties aside and brokered a deal that led to the opening of the gates, and Malema inspected the station and left.
