Malema said the apartheid was replaced with financial oppression, which only allowed black people into certain spaces if they had the finances to do so. According to Power FM, the leader said the places where black people weren’t allowed into before democracy were made expensive to keep them out:

"When you want to buy a house, you don’t qualify for a bond. When you want to buy a car, you don’t qualify for finance.”

The rally is the party’s final push ahead of the General Election on 29 May 2024.
