Grieving Julius Malema to address EFF final election rally to push for votes | IOL News

Johannesburg - Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema is expected to address thousands of EFF supporters at its final "Tshupa Thela" elections rally at the Orlando Stadium in Soweto, Johannesburg on Sunday, despite the death of his grandmother Koko Sarah Malema the previous day.

Koko Sarah has been a pillar of strength for the Malemas, raising Julius from a young age when his mother Florah died following an epileptic fit. She was by Malema's side when he was expelled from the African National Congress and when he formed the EFF, as well as when he graduated and when he got married.

"Our pillar of strength has fallen, the great tree that provided cooling shades of comfort, love, and stability have been uprooted, forever, from our lives. I love you, my confidant," Malema said in a tweet on Saturday with a picture of his granny. In a tweet on Sunday morning, Malema said, "We want to take this opportunity to thank you for the messages of condolences for our grandmother. Your words are indeed helping us to navigate this uncertain time. She was my loyal and dependable force in the struggle. We have been through a lot together. Thanks you everyone."

Short-sighted or gullible people may vote for the EFF now but there will come a time in the not too distant future that they will rue the day.

Siii ready

Xem, just look at all these people listening to Malema's garbage 🙊 EFF support is truly historic, but will predominantly youth vote be enough to secure sizable victory?
