ECONOMIC Freedom Fighters (EFF) president Julius Malema addressed hundreds of their members who had gathered in a large marquee in Bloemfontein, Free State on Sunday, 26 November.

The gathering was part of a build-up to the 2024 national general elections.

EFF supporters from various regions in the Free State sang and chanted struggle songs before Malema addressed them.

Malema said he was happy to be there.

He said any people heard saying the ANC was going to win elections must be booked into a psychiatric ward.

“The flag of the EFF shall rise at the Union Buildings. We are not a clownish party,” he said.

He said politics was boring before them.

“EFF has made politics fashionable. Before the EFF, no one spoke about land and today everybody speaks about the land including our kids who go to white people schools,” he said.

“When you are born, you are born in the land and when you die, you must be buried in the land,” he said.

Malema said before the EFF, no one knew there was a Parliament channel.

“We made them know that there is a channel, and that they must see who is sleeping in Parliament or not,” he said.

He said the youth of South Africa has said they were on the side of the EFF.

“They have responded through their votes that the only organisation that makes sense is the EFF and you can’t lie to them with RDPs, food parcels or even Nsfas. They said 30 years of mediocrity is not what we are going to associate with,” he said.

He said the youth knew the difference between glory and power.

“They think being driven around in luxury blue lights cars and having bodyguards is power. It is not,” he said.
