Malema urges EFF members not to participate in anti-Mahumapelo protests

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema has ordered his party members not to participate in violent protests the North West has experienced in the past two weeks.

Malema has been addressing EFF members and residents in Coligny, where his party won a by-election last week.

Protesters in many parts of the province have been calling for Premier Supra Mahupamelo to go. Malema says the premier should just step down.

“The EFF agrees that Supra must go. The EFF has filed a motion of no confidence. We want to remove him peacefully. There are tools in place to remove leadership. We shouldn’t subscribe to violence… It is irresponsible of Supra to want to stay in power, even when he see that his stay in power is leading to violence and loss of life,” says Malema.

He says they could easily take out Mahumapelo.

“He must ask his father, [Jacob] Zuma,” says Mlamela.
