Malema Slams Race-Based Politics Ahead of Elections
EFF leader Julius Malema criticized political parties that mobilize voters based on ethnicity, race, and nationality, warning that such tactics are unsustainable and will backfire. Speaking at a pre-election debate, Malema argued that South Africa's constitutional project is rooted in unity, not division. He also condemned xenophobia and vigilantism, stating that ordinary citizens should not determine who belongs in the country. Malema defended the EFF's record in coalition governments and accused opponents of using governance concerns to mask prejudice.2 sourcesSee all sources
