The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) is calling on the government to avoid applying for loans from international financial institutions such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank.

EFF supporters gathered outside the Cape Peninsula University of Technology’s Cape Town Campus from where they are marching to Parliament to demonstrate against the loans ahead of Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana’s Budget Statement.

The EFF says the expropriation of land without compensation should be the main driver of economic growth in South Africa, rather than loans the country receives from the IMF or the World Bank.

EFF Deputy Secretary-General Poppy Mailola says the loans will trap South Africa in a cycle of debt.

Poppy Mailola says the country should instead focus on developing a system that will see young people growing the country’s economy by working the land they receive through expropriation and ownership.
