The leader of the Red Berets said despite the party’s attempts to reach its goals, the lack of support is holding it back, according to News24. However, Malema said the party must do what it can to reach its target, including entering into a coalition agreement with the ANC.

He also claimed that the African National Congress (ANC) is dying and “rotten to the bone”. The party leader said the ANC could never be fixed and society needs to be cleansed of its rotten leadership.

Malema also took aim at President Cyril Ramaphosa and said no one could be above the Constitution. He called for the nation’s leader to account for the Phala Phala scandal and called him out for not answering questions related to the burglary at his farm in parliament.

He claims that the party had declared war against Ramaphosa, who he described as a favourite of white monopoly capital”. Malema said there was nothing special about the president and, therefore, should be treated the same as other South Africans.

The politician claimed that the factions in the ANC would cause its death and said the EFF would not die the same way. According to The Citizen, Malema said it was committed to unseating the party from its position.

@Mavuthel71 said:

“He’ll do anything to reach power either the metros or the presidency so that borders can be more in and out flow of any illegal thing.”

“EFF’s destination is to make the country ungovernable.”

@DylanBrent added:

“Malema’s destination of more money and power. Doesn’t care about his supporters or South Africans.”
