WATCH LIVE: Malema launches EFF election manifesto, outlines path to ‘power’

The red beret leader has spoken to several communities in the lead-up to the launch, repeating calls for an increase in child and old age grants. “When you give old people more money, you are guaranteeing that that money is feeding the black child. When you give old people money, they don’t gamble it. They buy a bag of mielie meal so our children are well fed. Imagine if you take that amount to R4 500 per person a month.”

He also hit back at critics who said the poor should not get more because it would lead them to have more children.“When they say to you; ‘Who is going to feed these children? Because you are poor and don’t have money. Tell them their father Malema will feed them when he becomes president of South Africa.”

The party has been vocal in the past on the need for a borderless Africa, land restitution, nationalisation of key institutions, and social relief for those most vulnerable.Time to vote for the SA you want
