Malema accuses ANC government of turning a blind eye on the opposition members

By Benet Monanyane.

The Economic Freedom Fighters’ leader Julius Malema accuses the ANC government of not considering the supporters of the opposition parties in this country whenever there are job opportunities in government, but it instead focuses on the people who are said to have cast their votes for the ruling party.

‘’Your children herein Lethabong remain unemployed because you voted for an independent candidate,so you are being punished for that’’ he said. Ward 28 in the area is being run by an independent candidate, councillor Pako Molatlhegi who came in wearing the EFF T-shirt at the rally.

Malema was addressing more than 200 people wearing the EFF T-shirts at the Rethusegile High School in Lethabong, near Rustenburg, on Saturday, Where he also lashed out at the government officials who engage in sexual affairs with young women and promising to offer them jobs. Earlier on before he addressed the masses, Malema’s supporters sang the anti-president Jacob Zuma songs with the messages that says ‘’If you support Zuma, are you be mad?’’ and ’’Zuma we are fighting the boers not you,but if you stand in our way we will beat you’’.

The EFF leader accompanied by his co-fighters,Floyd Shivambu,Alfred Motsi,Titi Pilane ,Julius Milandzi and Papiki Babuile who are the former ANC members, danced to the tune.

Malema said the government has built its own people the R.DP houses of a lower standard that are worse than the house of apartheid. ‘’There is nothing dignified about this house, is worse than the house of apartheid. We never said we want the lower standard, we said we want to live like the whites, and RDP house is nothing close to how the whites live ‘’he said. He continued by attacking the Black Economic Empowerment policy (BEE) saying it belongs to the whites who empower the black people by fronting them to their own benefit. EFF will be officially launched on the 13th of October in Marikana, at the kopie where 34 people were brutally killed by the police when they tried to disperse the striking miners on 16th August last year.
