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.”
