JOHANNESBURG - The Economic Freedom Fighters leader, Julius Malema, has no qualms with the ANC after his party wasn't invited to the Brics political parties dialogue.

Ahead of the much anticipated Brics Summit, which will be hosted in South Africa in August, the ANC will host a political parties dialogue from 18 to 20 July.
