EFF leader Julius Malema is defiant that his party will not observe the Covid-19 regulations on public gatherings while campaigning for the upcoming local government elections on November 1.
He was adamant that the DA failed to make similar accusations against the ANC, saying we ‘are not going to be outsmarted’.Malema was speaking during the unveiling of his party’s first elections billboard in Kempton Park while the DA was busy serving the IEC with a notice of illegal campaigning, unlawful electoral behaviour and the criminal violation of gathering rules against the EFF.“The IEC now has no choice but to sanction the EFF for breaking the law, and breaking the rules of this election.
“It is a most egregious, serious and fundamental violation of the election period to hold an illegal campaign event,” Mazzone said. “Unless the IEC holds the EFF to full account, it cannot be seen to facilitate free and fair elections. There cannot be one set of rules for one political party and another set of rules for the others.
