Today Africa Daily’s Mpho Lakaje sits down with firebrand South African politician Julius Malema, the leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF).
They discuss a variety of topics ranging from the party’s ideology, its policy on immigration to its stance on nation building.
The EFF lost its position as South Africa’s third biggest political party, following the May 2024 election.
“There was a phenomenon that arose in South Africa of MK (Umkhonto Wesizwe Party) which we underestimated and never thought would have the impact it did”, Mr. Malema says of his party’s election performance.
He also opens up about the recent departures of key EFF leaders, including the party’s co-founder and deputy president Floyd Shivambu.
