EFF to launch KZN local government election manifesto

The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) is taking its campaign to KwaZulu-Natal today, launching its provincial manifesto ahead of the upcoming local government elections.

The EFF is holding its provincial manifesto launch in Inanda with party leader Julius Malema to deliver the keynote address.

The EFF believes Ngizwe Mchunu recently decided to stage his event in the same area as its rally to deliberately provoke the party. EFF spokesperson Mazwi Blose says Mchunu does not have a permit for the event and vowed to prevent it from going ahead.

We cannot allow this gathering because it’s just a diversion of what they want to do.

Earlier this morning, Ngizwe Mchunu denied that his event was organized to deliberately disrupt the EFF’s manifesto launch. He insists his event is going ahead, saying both sides need to respect each other to avoid any further escalation.

We followed all the protocols with the councillor Mfeka. We are here, and they told us the stadium is available because it is not going to be a big thing. It’s going to be a low-risk event where people are gathered to pray.
