CAPE TOWN – Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) Leader Julius Malema praised the party’s Members of Parliament for standing up for the country.
Malema addressed the MPs after being kicked out of the State of the Nation Address (SONA) on Thursday, 9 February. EFF members rushed the stage where President Cyril Ramaphosa was seated in City Hall, leaving many outraged.
The Red Berets leader told the MPs that many South Africans were grateful to the party for demanding accountability. He said that while many people may not acknowledge the party, history will remember EFF as this generation’s freedom fighters, according to SowetanLIVE.
Malema said it was the party’s responsibility to raise citizens’ dissatisfaction, which it did at the Sona “unashamedly” and proudly.
