Potential supporters of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) have laid into party leader Julius Malema after he failed to pitch at heritage day celebrations in Brits in North West.

The rally was organised to prepare for the EFF’s national launch in Marikana next month.

Some of those attending were angered at Malema’s failure to arrive. They say they wanted to find out from him what EFF was going to do better.

This month EFF was registered as a political party with the Independent Electoral Commission. Malema said the approval meant the party would contest the general elections in 2014 and win.
