EFF urges SA to grant Mugabe political asylum

Reading Time: < 1 minute

The Economic Freedom Fighters has again called on the government to grant Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe political asylum.

Reports that asylum maybe be on the cards have surfaced following the military takeover in Zimbabwe.

The Democratic Alliance is, however, against the possibility.

The EFF says the basis of the DA’s position on the asylum should be rejected with contempt.

They dismiss the official opposition party’s premise that Mugabe is suspected of human rights violations.

The EFF says no court of law has found Mugabe guilty of any violations or crimes. In their statement – they call on the African National Congress to make a decision granting Mugabe permission to live in South Africa indefinitely.

The EFF believes this will advance peace in Zimbabwe and provide even better conditions for Zimbabweans to fast track to a democratic civilian rule.
