Title: King and General Join in Celebrating EFF’s 10th Anniversary, Praise Party’s Impact in South African Politics
Tears of joy filled Orlando Stadium in Soweto as King Buyelekhaya Dalindyebo and General Bantu Holomisa expressed their pride and admiration for the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) during the party’s 10th-anniversary celebration on Saturday. The event was graced by the presence of former president Jacob Zuma, who received a warm welcome from the jubilant crowd.
King Dalindyebo, released from prison in 2019 after serving four years of a 12-year sentence for various crimes, took the opportunity to express his gratitude to the EFF for its unwavering support during his difficult times. He praised the party’s leader, Julius Malema, for his courage and vision, hailing him as a “lion” and a “revolutionary.” The king commended Malema’s respect and loyalty, which he found lacking in some of his former comrades within the ANC.
“You are the true sons and daughters of the soil,” King Dalindyebo proclaimed, addressing the EFF, as he thanked them for standing with him when he faced persecution from the ANC. He expressed pride in Malema’s commitment to fighting for economic freedom and land for the people, and referred to him as his own son.
The United Democratic Movement (UDM) leader and former ANC member, General Bantu Holomisa, also congratulated the EFF on its 10th anniversary and recognized the party’s growth and increasing influence in South African politics. He praised the EFF for exposing corruption and incompetence within the ANC, while championing the cause of the poor and oppressed.
General Holomisa commended Malema for his leadership and willingness to collaborate with other opposition parties, emphasizing that the EFF’s approach to forming coalitions to govern municipalities demonstrated maturity and pragmatism. He urged Malema to continue working with other parties to challenge the ANC in the upcoming local government elections, stressing the need to unseat the current regime to bring about a new era of democracy, accountability, and prosperity for all.
The crowd responded with standing ovations, chanting “Long live EFF, long live!” and “Viva Dalindyebo, viva!” as a show of solidarity and support for the party and its esteemed guests. King Dalindyebo and General Holomisa joined Malema and Zuma on stage, singing and dancing to struggle songs, exemplifying unity and diversity among various political figures.
The celebration culminated in the EFF unveiling its manifesto for the local government elections. The manifesto focused on critical issues such as service delivery, land reform, job creation, and social justice, highlighting the party’s commitment to uplifting the lives of ordinary South Africans.
The EFF’s 10th-anniversary celebration showcased a moment of reflection on its achievements and aspirations, as it continues to play a significant role in South African politics. The event’s unity among various political figures demonstrated a shared commitment to a better future for the country and a determination to challenge the status quo in the upcoming elections.
