VERONICA MENTE | The EFF’s push to change the legislative landscape is out of recognition that the colonial and apartheid regimes could discriminate, oppress, and exploit black people through laws.

Workers now have a voice in parliament that goes against the wishes of the white capitalist establishmentEFF president, Julius Malema addresses scores of party members on 'Freedom Charter Day' in Kliptown, Soweto.The post-apartheid SA legislative landscape continued to make laws that served the interests of former colonisers and a few white capitalists until the election of the EFF to parliament in 2014.

These people are trusted ground forces who carry the hope and inspiration of the masses to change their conditions, including through legislative changes. The first motion tabled for debate by the EFF was for fair remuneration of mineworkers, a motion inspired by the brave workers of Marikana. SA remains an incomplete transition from a violent past. The colonial and apartheid governments institutionalised violence through various forms of legislation. To this day, SA, as a constitutional democracy, still has apartheid legislation meant for segregation and racial hatred, exploitation, and suppression of black people.

The National Assembly passed a motion tabled by EFF president and commander in chief Julius Malema to have section 25 of the constitution amended to allow land expropriation without compensation. The EFF motion was debated by the National Assembly and received support from a majority of parties. The motion said that parliament should set up an ad hoc committee to look into the proposed change and hold public hearings.
