The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) was formed to rescue South Africa, party leader Julius Malema said on Wednesday.
“There could not be EFF without South Africa, the country comes first, the parties must be used to rescue the country…,” Malema said in Reagile near Koster where he was campaigning for support ahead of the August 3 local government elections.
“On August 3 there will be election. This election are very important, this election reflects on what has been achieved in 20 years. We must ask whether the dream of 1994 is achieved if not what went wrong…”
He said people in Reagile were unemployed not because there were no jobs at municipalities, but because councillors gave work opportunities to their friends and family members.
“If you are not their friends or family members they demand sex, if your are a man they demand a bribe from you. This means you will never be employed because you do not have money.”
Malema said an EFF-led government would provide jobs to locals and provide access to healthcare.
“We are going to take all keys from clinics and throw them away because clinics are not supposed to be locked.”
He said the EFF would provide free education instead of not no-fee schools.
“The ANC says you do not pay school fees but, you pay money for polish and others, you are paying school fees underground.”
