2019 highlights: The year of the EFF’s growth sabcnews

The Economic Freedom Fighters will certainly mark 2019 as the year of growth. That’s after the party showed significant growth at the May poll.

While the party spent the 2019 advocating for the poor, there’s been reports and allegations that some leaders benefited from the VBS Mutual Bank scandal; a charge the party denies.with an election of new leadership for another five years. From 6.3% of the national vote in 2014, the party gained 10.7% of the vote in the 2019 general elections. Party leader Julius Malema attributed the good result to the party’s ground forces who preached the party’s manifesto door to door crisscrossing the country.

Parliament was a different ball game for the firebrand party in 2019. Former President Jacob Zuma was gone and the party now had its sights on another African National Congress politician; Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan, accusing him of being a proxy to white monopoly capital. Ironically, it’s the same politician they once defended against former President Zuma.

, accusing them to be bias in their coverage of the party. Yet another court battle lead by the South African National Editors Forum ensued after Malema likened a group of journalists to apartheid spies.
