JOHANNESBURG - Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema has called on "peace-loving South Africans" to donate money to the political party ahead of its 10th anniversary celebration.

Malema asks for donations to avoid counter-revolutions

In the video, Malema spoke about the EFF's upcoming anniversary and stated that the organisation is celebrating 10 years of ensuring that Africans are protected without fear or favour.

The Red Berets leader added that the EFF would not be able to succeed without donations and also runs the risk of being hijacked by counter-revolutions.

"We call upon all of you to make donations to the EFF because we must finance our own revolution. If we don't finance our own revolution, counter-revolutionaries will hijack it," said Malema.

In addition to monetary donations, TimesLIVE reports that the EFF is willing to accept donations in the form of cows, T-shirts, groceries and buses for the 10th birthday bash on 29 July 2023.

@ZweSibiya said:

"I will not be told by people that have parties that are controlled by the business that I shouldn't donate to the EFF, I don't want to hand over my organisation to business, I will always fund the revolution ✊"
