Economic Freedom Fighters turn on foreign nationals - Julius Malema and his Economic Freedom Fighters have joined the anti-black immigrant chorus, demonising those from countries such as Zimbabwe.

, which claims that the city council in Johannesburg is hiring illegal foreigners, spent a day harassing government employees. The scenes are reminiscent of colonial-era labour inspectors who routinely harassed Africans in settler colonies, including from South Africa, Zambia, Malawi and Zimbabwe. Malema’s U-turn seems to have little to do with policy or the economy, and appears to be motivated by the fact his political momentum has stalled. He is now worried about losing out to parties such as, which has gained ground with its anti-immigrant agenda. Now he is selling out the goals of the liberation struggle in a desperate attempt to not be outmanoeuvred by rival political leaders.

This is not true.

drDendere write lies about you EFFSouthAfrica Julius_S_Malema FloydShivambu on the 🤣🤣🤣🤣

It can't be EFF, maybe the paper does misinformed us. Let EFF clarify their stand. To fight for the rule of law is not demonizing. Every country has its own migration policy and it must adhere to it
