Potchefstroom-Former ANC Youth League president and now a leader of Economic Freedom Fighter(EFF), Julius Malema will join the Anti-Corruption March and Protest Action in Tlokwe on Friday.

The protest action will start at the Tlokwe Stadium and proceed to the Tlokwe Municipality at 10H00. 

“The protest action is amongst other things inspired by the fact that the Zuma African National Congress (ZANC) has expelled from the ANC and Council, 14 hard-working, disciplined and honest Councillors who refused to be led by a questionable Mayor” EFF spokesperson Floyd Shivambu said in a statement. 

Tlokwe residents are engaging in a protest against corruption in the embattled city.

Tlokwe has been in the news lately for all wrong reasons.

African National Congress(ANC) and opposition political party, Democratic Alliance(DA) are fighting for prominence.ANC and DA are taking each other to court after ANC led mayor Maphetle Maphetle was ousted by the party’s own councillors.

ANC spokesperson Kenny Morolong said the party is going to court because the former councillors conspire against the party and that was violation of constitution.

However DA spokesperson Mmusi Maine said residents of Tlokwe welcome the decision and are elated by DA being in power.

“Tlokwe residents are sick and tired of corruption, so they are very happy and believe DA is the future” he said.
