Johannesburg’s FNB Stadium witnessed a massive gathering of thousands of Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) supporters on Saturday, celebrating the party’s 10th anniversary as a registered political entity. The event not only marked a milestone for the EFF but also served as a platform for opposition leaders to unite and emphasize the importance of challenging the ruling African National Congress (ANC) in the upcoming 2024 elections.
During the rally, various opposition leaders took the stage and underscored the need for unity among opposition parties to create a formidable force against the ANC. One significant development was the United Democratic Movement (UDM) leader Bantu Holomisa joining forces with the EFF, signaling a potential coalition to take on the ANC.
Addressing the spirited crowd, Bantu Holomisa called for a united front against the ANC, accusing the ruling party of misusing state funds. He reminisced about the early days of the EFF when he stood in solidarity with EFF leader Julius Malema and deputy Floyd Shivambu after their expulsion from the ANC, drawing attention to the potential for collaboration between opposition parties.
Holomisa urged opposition parties to come together and stand against corruption and mismanagement of public resources, emphasizing that unity was key to their success. This call to action was echoed by African Transformation Movement (ATM) leader Vuyo Zungula, who also emphasized the significance of cooperation among opposition parties before the 2024 elections.
Congratulating the EFF on its decade of existence, Zungula stressed that failure to unite would hinder their collective ability to remove the ANC from power. The need for a united front was clear as opposition leaders recognized the formidable challenge of unseating a long-standing ruling party.
The EFF’s Gauteng chairperson, Nkululeko Dunga, seized the opportunity to rally support for a political shift in the province, which he identified as a significant opportunity to unseat the ANC. Dunga criticized the current administration’s handling of Gauteng, citing high unemployment rates, widespread poverty, and escalating crime. He accused the ANC of prioritizing its own interests over the well-being of the citizens, further reinforcing the need for change.
In summary, the EFF’s 10th-anniversary rally became a rallying cry for opposition parties to unite and challenge the ANC’s rule in the 2024 elections. Leaders from different parties came together to address pressing issues such as corruption, mismanagement, and inadequate governance in South Africa. The event showcased the EFF’s determination to bring about positive change and highlighted the challenges faced by the people of Gauteng.

As the 2024 elections approach, the EFF and its potential allies appear poised to mount a robust challenge to the ANC’s long-standing governance, signaling a potential shift in South African politics.
