Mahikeng-On 21 March in 1960, 69 people were murdered in cold blood by the Apartheid regime after embarking on an anti-pass law protest, says EFF.

“Today as we commemorate Human Rights Day,we cannot be proud of our
government actions in regards to how it treats its citizen” EFF North West office said.

EFF Ouma Nkitseng said While claiming to champion the rights of all citizens, ANC led government has become the champion of human rights violations.

“The shooting incident of striking miners in Lomin on 16 August 2013,
dubbed the Marikana massacre was the single most lethal use of force by South African security forces against civilians since 1960, and the end of the apartheid era” said Nkitseng.

Economic Freedom Fighters also said the deaths of people in Mothutlong due to the actions of the police
responding to residents, who were protesting in demand of basic service in particular water also highlight the gross disregard of our
people.

“Our immediate plan of action after the elections would be the
provision of water, roads, sanitation and proper houses. We don’t want people to get poorly built RDP houses” she said.

According to Julius Malema’s party, EFF recognises the rights enshrined in the Constitution of South Africa and urgues the people of South Africa to vote for EFF in the
May General Elections.-TDN
