JOHANNESBURG - Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema wants the party's leaders to pull their weight ahead of the 10th anniversary celebration.

Malema has threatened to bar leaders from attending the birthday bash at the FNB Stadium this month if they do not fulfil their end of the bargain.

Julius Malema wants regional leaders to fill buses and sell gala dinner tickets

According to News24, the Red Berets leader stated during a press conference at the Uncle Tom community hall in Orlando, Soweto, that leaders who failed to complete necessary tasks before the birthday bash would be publicly shamed and barred from attending the festivities.

In January, Malema issued a directive to EFF leaders from MPs, provisional and regional leaders to organise busloads of EFF supporters who will attend the birthday bash.

The EFF expected over 3 000 busloads from all across the country, but only 1 324 buses have been confirmed, according to TimesLIVE. Malema also expected leaders to sell seats for the gala dinner, and failure to do so would result in the same punishment.

The EFF is expected to release names next Tuesday.

"Such dictatorship, I feel sorry for poor Ndlozi, who has wasted his career trying to please Malema. Did Jimmy Manyi meet the criteria, where are his buses? Malema is running EFF like his spaza shop, with no respect for other leaders at all. “Bring a bus, or you are banned from my rally.”

"Yeah, I don't care EFF lost me when he said they want to hide money. Can you imagine what these clowns would do if they ever had power?"

@Quevilicious said:

"Imagine this kind of dictatorship running the Country. Malema lost the plot, or he is very exposed now. Mugabe died, and he will never multiply!"

"I hated being shamed for not selling school raffle tickets!"

@MdloziniSifiso said:

"EFF is a Ponzi scheme. Jimmy Manyi got an MP seat after half a second he joined the party. Poor regional leaders have to skip through hoops and ask for prayers from Malawian Prophet to do a Jimmy Manyi lol ku radical ndiyakuxelela."

@jason_kelder said:

"My opinion: The EFF is not a political party, it is a Corporation, and Malema is the Chair. The EFF voters are unpaid volunteers, and EFF Parliamentarians Are middle management ‍♂️ question is he who owns the “shares” owns the Corporation."

Fighters, the media and musicians descended on FNB Stadium for a private listening session where Jazz Hour Volume 5 was dropped on Wednesday, 5 July.

The album hosts a collection of songs reminiscent of the struggle days and echoes the music that Umkhonto weSizwe soldiers listened to at exile camps.
