By 2014 though, COPE had disappeared into obscurity with their biggest contribution to our discourse since arguably being Willie Madisha’s honk honk meme. By contrast, the red berets grew substantially in their second election last year. The EFF is no different save for the added advantage of carrying disfavour themselves. So they have the benefit of being loved and hated, all while challenging those who are hated . So whatever they do tends to manifest in media that’s easily consumable and widely appealing. Don’t get me wrong. The appeal doesn’t mean we’ll always like the story. The appeal means that we want to know the story, even if it’s upsetting.

It’s why, even if they carry scandals, the Twittersphere will back them as long as the message remains the same and remains clear; empower the children of the soil who were disenfranchised by white structures. I mean, that’s not officially their mission statement but if you were to blast their rhetoric together, you’d get something like that.

The EFF is in charge.

And we donated more money to the solidarity fund.

EFF have a year programme that make it progressive in the issues that affecting the people. To prove that is the only organisation that contributed more money in the solidarity fund

Sales nifuna ukuthini

Because without talking about EFF the media companies would go bankrupt

Because you give them the most airtime. Its simple really.. Sensationalist Media.

Because the clowns in the newsrooms thrive on controversy to gain viewer/readership, so the uncivilized VoetsekEFF gives it to them and they publish it enthusiastically! The more outrageous the better. Proper journalism died a long time ago, you're all fake news.

Because they are clowns.

Making headlines for the wrong reasons yes

EFF is a new vibrant party and is open to criticism. EFF makes a huge impact in the lives of Africans it is hard to believe that it amases only 10% of votes. Other parties are just interested in sounding knowledgeable on the needs of society without working with society

They lead by example EFFSouthAfrica for me anyone who lead by example will lead me period

It simple means that more and more people are losing it everyday. No one, in his good senses can voluntarily vate for either ANC or EFF. Its scary.

Yes because they are causing civil war and inviting foreigners to come .we can't ignore such thing. Obvious racial war will always cause headline and defending Nigerians will always cause headline even burning clicks shops will always cause headline

Ordinary people can relate what EFF is all about and EFF is always on the ground with the ppl, they don't make empty promises, but they commit

Because its the idiot journalists and editors that give the red tampon Nazi EFF all the coverage. Journalism has gone to the dogs and news reporting has become biased, unbalanced and really pathetic.

It all depends on the type of headlines they're hogging as these ones are hogging stupid headlines hence they per4med badly in recent by-elections

They dress funny and generally misbehave, the media seem to think that is what people want to see and hear about. They are so wrong.....

We are touching on the real issues affecting the black majority, we are busy sensitizing them about their real problems, hence everybody is talking about us. From the worried Stellenbosch handlers to house negros

Simple. The EFF tackles issues that affect the majority, while the ANC and DA only care about issues the affect the wealthy.

We are in charge, we got the ruling party by it's scrotum

Let me leave this here

I will not read this, but here is my response. EFF is under attack from the establishment, EFF is against biggest mafias in the entire southren hemisphere, organisations that are funded by multinational companies like EOH, against a 7 year old party tht survives by selling berets

Andazi yaz

We run this country!!! Weare in charge!!!

We (The EFF), are always on the ground. That's your simple answer

Intimidation and violence gets them the limelight
