The Economic Freedom Fighter’s president, Julius Malema, revealed that KwaZulu-Natal all but belongs to the Red Berets. He added that the province, alongside Gauteng and the Western Cape, is crucial to ensuring that the African National Congress is permanently removed from power.
EFF will control KZN: Malema
The @EFFSouthAfrica held a press conference at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal and answered questions about the party’s hold in the province. Malema revealed in the press conference that the EFF is looking good in terms of a potential takeover in the province. He added that the EFF received 350,000 votes in the 2019 General Elections, a result which surprised Malema. He said talking about the ANC as a governing party in KZN would be a denial.

“We must start accepting that the ANC is gone in KZN. The ANC is self-destructive led by childish leadership in KZN. You must hear them discussing leadership. It’s like having discussions in shebeens.”
The importance of KZN in politics
Malema also explained how important KZN is in securing the national vote.
“KZN is very strategic because it is in the top three of the highest voter populations, so if you want to upset the national trends we must cause damage in Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal snd the Western Cape. It is an admitted fact that the ANC in Gauteng is gone. They will never regain the Western Cape, and the DA is going to lose the Western Cape, so the ANC will lose KZN.” View the tweet here.
Stellenbosch professor speaks to Briefly News
Professor Zwelinzima Ndevu told Briefly News that there may not be a clear majority in KZN.
"The election outcomes in KZN will be very interesting. IFP is slowly gaining some lost ground, the ANC has had serious setbacks mostly associated with the new MK outfit which is offspring of the party led by Zuma, and the EFF is popular among the young people and radical groupings. You also have a DA that has been doing well in the province. This makes KZN a highly-contested with early indications that there maybe no party with clear majority," he said.
SA slammed Malema
Netizens did not have as much confidence as Malema did.
Tumelo Pilane said:
“In your dreams, boy.”
Mzansi citizens first wrote:
“You will bring jobs to your people, the Zimbabweans and Nigerians for sure.”
Khangale remarked:
“In your wet dreams. Be ready to say that votes re rigged this year.”
The Forgotten Nation:
“Strategic to benefit the forgotten nation or yourself?”
Julius Malema distances himself from the MK Party
Similarly, Briefly News reported that Julius Malema distanced himself from the new MK Party.
Malema spoke during his party’s press conference at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban and remarked that Jacob Zuma, like many other MK veterans, is deluded and in denial that the ANC is dead. South Africans strongly disagreed with him and slammed him for his comments.
