Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader, Julius Malema said he is confident that his party will win the Greater Taung Local Municipality during Local Government Elections on 1 November 2021.

Malema, who received a massive following, did a walkabout at Taung Mall on Sunday. This was part of his election campaign trail in the North West.  

“Today, I’m not here for a speech, but to do pamphleteering to our potential voters. We are here to remind them that on 1 November 2021, we need to dethrone these ANC thieves from the government.

“If we are voted into power, we will ensure that our people receive good basic services like water, sanitation, electricity and create job opportunities. EFF will ensure that our youths receive bursaries,” he said.

Malema further accused ANC leaders of nepotism and said they spare job opportunities only for their girlfriends.   

“Let’s go and vote for the EFF on 1 November 2021. We want our people in Taung to have decent RDP houses and we will increase social grants. We will also ensure that social grants beneficiaries do not have to pay for water and electricity because they are indigents.

“So, today I’ll be addressing our people in Mamusa, and let’s go and embark on door-to-door. If we do door-to-door, let’s approach everyone including ANC members. ANC is dead and when you see a person wearing an ANC t-shirt, just remind him/her that the ANC is dead and the t-shirt is just a t-shirt with no meaning,” said Malema.

EFF told to doff berets


Johannesburg – Members of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) visiting the family of Lerata Rabolila, who was shot dead during protests in Boiketlong, south of Johannesburg, were asked to remove their red berets on Friday.

“We do not want political parties here. The protest is about the needs of the community,” said community leader Daniel Mofokeng.

“We ordered EFF members to take off their berets because the issues in this community have nothing to do with politics but service delivery.”

EFF members visited Boiketlong informal settlement in Sebokeng without their leader, Julius Malema.

“We gave them an hour to pay their condolences to the Rabolila family,” said Mofokeng.

Gauteng premier Nomvula Mokonyane was expected to address the residents of Boiketlong later on Friday.

Residents took to the streets on Wednesday demanding decent housing. Rabolila was shot dead during the protest.

Afterwards police spokesperson Captain Tsekiso Mofokeng said he had been shot while protesters disagreed over whether barricades should be removed.

“The protesters split into two groups. The one group wanted to remove the barricades on the road and the other group would not allow it. Several shots were fired between the two groups,” said Mofokeng.
