Economic Freedom Fighter\u2019s leader Julius Malema has ramped up the party\u2019s push to clinch power in the 2024 national general election by calling on South Africa\u2019s youth to treat next year\u2019s elections as \u201cyour own 1994\u201d.<\/p>\n
Malema, who is leading the party\u2019s celebration trail as it commemorates 10 years of its existence this month, made a clarion call for the youth to march to the polls next year to cast their vote that would restore the government as a government for the people.<\/p>\n
Malema encouraged young voters to take back the country from those who \u201cactually\u201d controlled it, naming Johan Rupert and the Oppenheimer family.<\/p>\n
He told the rally that the EFF was the only party that continuously spoke against Johan Rupert and the Oppenheimers \u201cwho stole our land and continue to preside over our economy as a minority at the expense of the majority\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy? Because we are not in the pockets of the white monopoly capitalists, and we are the only ones that are not being controlled by the white monopoly capitalists.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet us make sure that we take government away from Sibanya Water and put it back into the hands of the people. Let us take government from the Oppenheimers and put it back into the hands of the people. Let us take government back from Johan Rupert and put it back into the hands of the people.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet us go reclaim what belongs to us. We want a government of the people, for the people, because the government of today has turned against its people,\u201d Malema said.<\/p>\n
\u201cNext year, we are making history. 2024 is your 1994 as the youth of South Africa.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said that the EFF had observed that the political power that was transferred to the black majority through inclusive election in 1994 was never transformed into economic freedom, as the majority of Africans remained on the margins of society as unemployed, under-employed or discriminated against while employed, while those with economic, social and political power since the colonial period, continued to enjoy economic, social and professional privileges.<\/p>\n
