According to IOL, Malema stated that people who are living in suburban neighbourhoods would be the ones subsiding people who come from impoverished backgrounds. Malema told his supporters that being a Sassa recipient meant that someone is of a poor status.

He went on to say that the money people get from Sassa was not enough to cover water and electricity fees and an EFF government will not make the poor pay for these fees.

Malema also criticised the government for making people who are poor pay for these basic services, reports TimesLIVE. He told supporters that an EFF government will create a database for municipalities that will exempt Sassa beneficiaries from paying these bills.

He added by doing this, Sassa beneficiaries will have the opportunity to support their families. He went on to encourage those gathered to vote for the EFF.
