A decade of the EFF: How an expulsion changed the politics of SA

“I am humbled and feel very honoured by the nomination. I thank the branches for showing confidence in me, but I had to decline,” said the 28-year-old Malema.He said he would reconsider his position in 10 or 15 years. Fast forward to this year, Malema is in Parliament where he now sits across the aisle from ANC members, the party whose offer he rejected. That year he also made the call for the country’s mines to be nationalised.

Youth league NEC members Pule Mabe and Lebogang Maile were alleged to be among those who turned against Malema. Those who remained in his corner included his deputy Ronald Lamola, secretary general Sindiso Magaqa and spokesperson Floyd Shivambu. Malema maintained the assault on Zuma even as his party faced its first big challenge with four MPs accusing him of misusing party funds.

In the same year the party became kingmakers in three of the country’s major municipalities, disrupting the ANC’s stranglehold on power. Zuma eventually resigned and in a successive win for the EFF just months later, Parliament adopted a proposal to amend section 25 of the Constitution to allow for land expropriation without compensation – one of its founding policy pillars.

SthembileCel Nice read, well written 👌

SthembileCel The headline is grossly misleading.Instead of telling us about how the birth of the WFF changes the Political Landscape of SA,it is repeating the old stories about how Makea was expelled.GUTTER JOURNALISM!

SthembileCel MPs should be banned from using canteen before house sittings and after they are expelled from the house

SthembileCel Fair article the future of this country is EFF

JokoRaymond SthembileCel Refreshing this is, because the author has refused to write lies... Nicely articulated..

SthembileCel More a decade of Malema than the EFF. The organization is merely 6 years old. Half a decade and counting to be precise.
