SA opposition party open to coalitions

Date: Apr 19, 2024

South Africa's opposition, Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema, says the party is open to talking to all parties with regards to forming coalitions after the May elections.

Malema was engaging journalists at a brunch in Sandton this Friday on issues affecting the party, and the upcoming polls in general.

Malema says that in forming governance partnerships with other parties the EFF's demands are simple and have remained unchanged over successive elections.

"We are not far from a lot of parties about what needs to happen I mean African Transformation Movement, Azanian People's Organisation, Pan Africanist Congress of Azania, uMkhonto we Sizwe including the African National Congress (ANC).

“By the way, on the land question, we are not far apart. We had actually had an agreement with the ANC that we would expropriate land without compensation. They developed cold feet that we are going to nationalise the Reserve Bank and that we are going to establish a State Bank.

“These two we followed up when we went to parliament for, also on the nationalisation of mines issue and one of the simplest demands we made was to remove Die Stem from the national anthem."
