Julius Malema wants the Economic Freedom Fighters in government after the 2019 polls, specifically as members of mayoral committees in Johannesburg and a mayor in Tshwane.
This would mean the EFF would be in government for the first time since its formation in 2014.
Malema believes that the fledgling party, which has been embroiled in allegations of corruption in the VBS Mutual Bank heist scandal, will once again play kingmaker to the country’s two main political parties. “Positions are going to be the last demand which we are going to put before any potential partners in Gauteng.”
