Thousands of Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) supporters gathered at the Nkowankowa stadium, near Tzaneen, where they were addressed by the party president, Julius Malema.
Malema raised the issue of people getting jobs through nepotism, party affiliation and favours. He said they will hire people based on competency and qualifications.

One of the many promises made by Malema is the increase of social grants, more than R800 for children and more than R3000 for pensioners.
He went on to say that teachers, the police and nurses will receive higher salaries, adding to it he also promised performance bonuses to police officers.
#EFFFreedomDayRallies Malema: We want our police officers and all government employees to be paid well. Even nurses, are currently working in horrid conditions, we must pay them well and ensure that they are adequately equipped to help those who cannot help themselves.
