The EFF shared Malema's message on their social media accounts:

"When they say to you that you must celebrate Freedom Day, they mean you must celebrate not having land. #EFFFreedomDay"

The South African reported that the EFF does not believe that Ramaphosa will honour his promise to redistribute the land despite reassurances that the process is still on the cards.

According to News24. Malema called on South Africans to fight for the land to ensure food security and the ability to work it.

During Malema's speech, he said that Freedom Day could only be taken seriously once all people have access to land.
