The platinum package costs R1.2 million and includes perks such as chill time with the EFF leader Julius Malema. The table seats 10 people who will be offered a three-course meal, welcome drinks with EFF officials, entertainment and branding opportunities.

The pricing is similar to the ANC's gala dinner prices, which saw businesspeople spending R1.2 million just to sit next to Cyril Ramaphosa at the party's gala dinner earlier this year, reports the Mail & Guardian.

The EFF has other packages for people who can't afford to spend R1.2 million. The gold package goes for R750 000, and the ticket holders will get to sit with EFF deputy Floyd Shivambu.

The silver package costs R500 000, and the bronze package sells for R250 000 with significantly fewer perks.

"The ANC was criticised for running this scam. Now, the EFF has become a copycat."

"You have got to be freaking kidding me! Go ask all the corrupt ANC members to attend your Gala dinner. You guys can strategise your coalition. Mashatile will buy a platinum ticket."
