During the party’s manifesto launch last weekend, Malema said his party aims to run all municipalities and prioritise basic services to residents across the country.

The EFF launched its local government Elections manifesto at Gandhi Square in the Johannesburg CBD.

He said corruption has deprived residents of basic services. Malema said rural areas have been neglected.

“EFF municipalities will not stand by and do nothing about sanitation and toilets in schools because education in schools are functions of national and provincial level. There will never be pit toilets in schools that fall under an EFF municipality. This manifesto we present to you today is a product of several consultations and engagements with different sectors of society,” Malema said.
