"That is what we still experiencing today in this so-called freedom," said Shivambu.

The EFF member also spoke about decolonisation and how important it is for black South Africans to pick themselves back up from the injustices of the past. He believes that colonisation taught black people to hate themselves.

"If you hate any of your African brothers then you hate yourself. And that is what we need to fight and change. Such a system to remain with us forever, and we should refuse that," he said.
