The EFF leader said he would soldier on and address the party's final elections rally because Koko Sarah would have wanted him to.

Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema on Sunday said his grandmother Koko Sarah Malema, who died earlier this weekend, was everything to him and had always inspired and believed in him. “I am happy that I did everything for my grandmother and other grandmothers of South Africa because I am inspired by her to look after the elderly who cannot take care of themselves. My confidante is no more. The person who inspired me and encouraged me to always go on. She always believed in me and in my innocence. I always knew that my grandmother is always there for me,” he said.

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.
