The African Federal Convention, AFCO, was launched in Johannesburg on Wednesday by leader Babayi Vusi Mathe.
Mathe says he’s decided to form this party after leaving the Economic Freedom Fighters as its former Head of Intelligence in KwaZulu-Natal. Mathe claims that the the EFF has lost touch with the masses and that a new political home is needed. “I’ve realized that the EFF is not representing the majority of this country. The EFF is a spaza shop of two people, Julius Malema and Floyd Shivambu and I know why one of the cardinal pillars of the EFF is to nationalise land and minerals resources, why? By that time I was the Head of Intelligence in KwaZulu-Natal under EFF.”“I’ve been a part of them, I started EFF in 2013; I know them.
