Durban - The EFF in KwaZulu-Natal increased its support in the province five fold in the 2019 elections, compared to their showing in the 2014 elections.
When the party clinched the 300 000 votes they burst into song at the IEC’s regional operations centre in Mayville, Durban, on Friday. At the final vote count the EFF secured 8 seats and 349 361 votes, increasing their seat allocation to eight from two, and growing their votes five fold.“What we did different from 2014 is that we went to the ground and we listened to the people. We did the groundwork, we went door to door, we were everywhere, informal settlements, every city, every suburb, we went to talk to the people direct and this is the outcome,” he said.
He said land expropriation without compensation and jobs were there top priorities heading into the sixth Parliament.“We are going to get rid of tenders as EFF and employ people direct, insource the jobs of cleaners and security. Once we are able to do that we give them proper long-term jobs with better salaries and benefits, breaking the back of poverty,” he said.

WATCH | People in EFF regalia caught on camera 'violently manhandling' elderly womanElectionResults WATCH | The woman, clad in ANC regalia, seemingly refuses and is later violently removed from her chair by people wearing EFF regalia. We are busy with elections All I’m saying is, a group of people in full EFF regalia went to an ANC rally and not even one of them was touched.... One old woman sits at the back at an EFF meet and members accuse her of “go swarega” (a term used to describe a witch who was caught while trying to bewitch) How is this related to the pic shown here?🤔
