South Africa is a country where people can express themselves in many ways. If they do not like what their leaders are doing, they have the right to protest and make their voices heard. They can also leave an organization and form their own, like Julius Malema did when he left the African National Congress Youth League and formed the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF). The EFF is now keeping the ANC on their toes.
The EFF is causing trouble for the ruling party, especially during the President’s speeches. They think that the President is corrupt and has something to hide over the Phala-Phala farm scandal. Recently, the EFF has been promising to shut down the whole country with various demands, such as the improvement of power supply and the resignation of President Cyril Matamela Ramaphosa.
Although the EFF’s tactics can be disgusting, they are making the government worry and have sleepless nights. The government is even preparing for any disruptions that may be caused by the EFF. However, we must admit that the EFF is giving the government something to think about.
Malema believes that private citizens should not shoot at each other. But if someone shoots at you, protect yourself and fight back with force.
