'Fighters, don’t be lazy' - Malema as EFF sets sights on Western Cape
Cape Town - With just six weeks to go before South Africans cast their votes in the May 8 national elections, EFF leader Julius Malema has uttered a war cry, declaring the party will achieve an outright win in the Western Cape. Malema was speaking after the Western Cape launch of the party’s manifesto at the Philippi Stadium near Samora Machel on Saturday, where he also decried any notions of a coalition government in order to secure control of the DA-led province.
On Saturday afternoon Malema arrived in Philippi to address thousands of supporters who had waited for him since the morning while he addressed another rally in the Eastern Cape. “In the EFF we don’t want cowards, we don’t want lazy bastards. We want hard-working soldiers who will occupy the streets of South Africa.”“Young people, don’t drink the day before elections, you must wake up sober and go and vote and when you are done you must go and collect everyone, tell them to go and vote because the future belongs to the youth.
“That does not mean we hate other people - we are in love with black people and we can’t cheat on black people with white people. We are not for any other thing, we are in marriage with black people and we are loyal to this marriage.” “Our election strategy is to reach out to everyone; we have capitalised on voter registration and increased voter support, especially the youth. We have targeted the institutions of higher learning, we have seen to it that youth in the Western Cape find a home in the EFF.
