The ANC has been accused of copying the EFF when it comes to wooing support ahead of next year’s general elections.
“Led by the party engine, Reuben Madazhe, the ANC came to us and made a similar proposal,” a senior member of the Modjadji Royal Council, Molate Ratlabala, said at the meeting.
“We then asked ourselves as to whether the ANC would have paid us a visit had the EFF not visited the Bapedi queen. Our question was, why can’t the ANC copy from Nelson Mandela?
“Mandela made proper arrangements with us. He came here and donated two luxury vehicles to the queen. He built the family an agricultural school called Mandela Barloworld, he constructed a tarred road through the mountain ranges of Khethakone leading to the palace, among many other things.”
Ratlabala said Mandela did all these things out of the goodness of his heart and not imitating anyone.
“Maybe the provincial and national leadership of the ANC must learn a thing or two from the old man and do things to others not because someone else was doing it elsewhere.”
During the EFF’s 10th anniversary celebration at the FNB Stadium last Sunday, Malema posed a similar question.
This after Gauteng premier Panyaza Lesufi handed out thousands of job letters to unemployed youth at Orlando Stadium in Soweto, two days before the EFF’s birthday jamboree.
Malema branded him a chancer. “Lesufi took our children to Orlando Stadium where he gave them worthless papers, claiming he would give them stipends. Lesufi did so because he wanted you to vote for the ANC. But the youth of today do not want bribery.”
South Africa is set to host it’s general elections in 2024.
