Julius Malema, the Commander-In-Chief of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), stated that the EFF will not participate in a government that includes right-wing and reactionary political parties.
He emphasized that the MK Party should be given the opportunity to lead the government of KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) as it received the highest number of votes in the province. Malema warned that if the MK Party is not in charge, it could be seen as a provocation to the people of KZN, suggesting potential unrest.
The EFF also addressed their stance on coalition talks and government of national unity, stating they do not have any concrete agreement with the ANC.
“We further emphasised to the president that MKP got 45% of the votes in KZN and if the principle is that he must be supported to [be] the president because he got 40% of votes, the same principle should apply in KZN.” – Malema
