Members picketed where the statue is located, calling for its removal because, they said, it symbolised a “white racist”.

“The DA condemns in the strongest terms the EFF’s picket for the removal of the Paul Kruger statue as part of celebrating Heritage Day.

“Destroying this statue will not heal the nation from the injustices of the past. For the nation to succeed, we must learn from the past and each other’s history,” Williams said. “Racist statues serve as a reminder of our past; we are called unreasonable when we call for them to be removed,” she said.

The ANC rejected the EFF motion, saying it would be “against the party policies on statues and heritage”.

Anc's hero

We need lots of Paul Kruger statues .

Remove that nonsense

People are wallowing in poverty but EFFSouthAfrica and their Julius_S_Malema are busy fighting statues after kruger falls then what? Is he the one destroying the country

Can they build their own statues and leave South African history alone😡😡Are they going to demolish all building which were built during apartheid time?by the way ANC has started already😅😅

Just commission someone to remold the old statue into Oros Malema. Might just have to add a bit to make up for the fat.

'Name-changes' and 'statues must fall'... it's all the EFF and ANC can offer their followers before elections!? ☺☺☺

Look : very few people - not news worthy.

They are so desperate for relevance

Don’t tell them about that other big park😂

Deflection politics.

They only k ow Winnie mandela and removing statues

After the removal of the statue, will there be jobs available for the masses, is the Paul Kruger statue holding jobs and economy? 😂

EFF spends too much time dwelling on the past. A future left to the EFF to build is a lifetime wasted. Next.

Winnie must full

That's all they know.

Out of all the hardships in SA, the rampant poverty, the collapsing municipalities , the culture of non payment, the mass unemployment, the IOL decides to concentrate their article on a statue.

How do they plan to grow the economy?

REMOVE IT!! Bloody colonial racist relic

There's bigger issues to worry about than statues of dead people... 🤔🤨🤷🏻‍♂️

Eff must fall

What about they start building factories so that people can start working?

I think he would also rather be removed than looking down on the mess created right under his nose... It stinks...

Why doesn't he call for the removal of the Kruger national park, selective racism to fool the ignorant
