WATCH: EFF leader Julius Malema warns race-based politics will ‘backfire badly’

EFF leader Julius Malema has warned that the reliance on race-based politics in South Africa will ultimately backfire on those who employ it as a campaign strategy.

The politics of race will backfire badly because the people of South Africa are tired of being divided by the color of their skin when they are all facing the same economic struggles.

Malema made these remarks while addressing supporters, emphasizing that the focus should remain on economic emancipation and service delivery rather than divisive rhetoric. He argued that political parties attempting to mobilize voters solely through racial identity are ignoring the material conditions of the electorate.

The EFF leader further stated that his party remains committed to a non-racial approach that prioritizes the needs of the poor and working class, regardless of their background. He urged citizens to look past the narratives pushed by rival parties and focus on the tangible solutions offered by the EFF.
