It\u2019s therefore logical for fearless freedom fighters to join a fearless, militant, and radical economic emancipation movement, the EFF,\u201d said Shivambu.<\/p>\n<p>During the briefing, Niehaus urged his party members to join the red berets and extended the call to other parties such as the Pan Africanist Congress, Azapo, the African Transformation Movement, and the United Democratic Movement to join forces with the EFF ahead of the elections.<\/p>\n<p>According to Niehaus, this would enhance the party\u2019s chances of emerging victorious in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>He follows the likes of former public protector, Busisiwe Mkhwebane, and former ANC Youth League leader, Magasela Mzobe, who have joined the EFF. Mkhwebane is now serving as a member of parliament for the party.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the co-founder of Areta, Nkosentsha Shezi, also urged their members to join the EFF.<\/p>\n<p>kamogelo.moichela@inl.co.za<\/p>\n<p> Politics <\/p>\n<p \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>African Radical Economic Transformation Alliance (Areta) leader, Carl Niehaus,has joined the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF).
