“Don’t use violence. We are going to run a clean campaign. People must elect us based on our manifesto not because we intimidated them. We don’t remove other political parties’ posters, remove EFF posters and put them back again if you are bored, don’t disrupt other people meeting please allowed them to campaign freely. Don’t prevent anyone from exercising their political rights,” Malema says.
