The Red Berets leader urged supporters who gathered at the May Day rally to love one another and that he was unbothered by the threats that people won't vote for him because of his stance, reports SABC News.

“Stop the hate of black people, love each other, before you love each other, love yourself. Hey, you can take your vote if you hate me for loving black people," said Malema.

Malema also urged EFF supporters gathered at the rally to protect the African continent while protecting each other.

"Comrades let us protect our continent. Let us protect each other. When you see a Zimbabwean, see yourself. When you see a Nigerian, see yourself," said Malema.

Malema added that Africa is not a content but a country because we are all one. He also expressed the desire to have Africa under one currency and one president in future.

The political party has been assisting workers through its labour desk, where they are encouraged to air their grievances. However, according to Malema, the EFF is often taken to court by companies that claim it does not legal authority to challenge issues related to work.

During his address, Malema said the labour desk has been performing exceptionally and has to fight court battles related to work daily. He said regardless of having a labour union, the party fights for the rights of black people being exploited in the workplace.
