Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader, Julius Malema, has urged the Muslim community of Lenasia, South of Johannesburg, to reject all political parties that support the Israeli government in the Middle East conflict. This is part of his Town Hall meetings following the launch of his party’s manifesto in February this year.
Malema has stated that if his party is elected after the May 29 polls, they will close the Israeli embassy in South Africa as their top priority. He says no right-thinking Muslim should vote for all those who support the genocide in Palestine.
The community took the opportunity to raise their grievances. Malema assured them that all their challenges would be a thing of the past if they put their trust in the EFF.
During a campaign trail, the leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) stated that the ruling party, the African National Congress (ANC), has let down the people of South Africa, including the residents of Lenasia. He mentioned that the ANC has failed to address the issue of crime, which has become normalized in the country. However, he believes that his party can tackle this issue effectively within just three months if they come to power. With elections around the corner, the EFF hopes its message on Saturday resonated with Lenasia residents and this will be reflected at the polls.
