SOWETO– The Economic Freedom Fighters are gunning for a majority vote in the 2024 general elections for the Gauteng province. South Africans, though, doubted the party would control Gauteng.
EFF aims for more than 50%
According to The Citizen, the party's provincial chairperson, Nkululeko Dunga, spoke during the party's provincial manifesto launch in Dobsonville in Soweto, Johannesburg, on March 1. Dnga believes that the EFF will change things in Gauteng, create jobs and put an end to loadshedding. He also noted that the party's first elections resulted in them gaining over 600,000 votes in Gauteng and added that the party had done well in campaigning for votes in the province.
Netizens disagree with Dunga
Netizens on Facebook, though, strongly disagreed that the EFF will win Gauteng.
Elizabeth Pearce said:
"Never. You are failing dismally as the finance MMC."
Sandra Cunningham said:
"God help Gauteng! I wouldn't want the ANC of EFF in control of anything in this country."
Mathetha Wa Mokadimotso Solle
"Unless Limpopo neighbours will be allowed to vote also."
Jozi Jozi remarked:
"Nice joke, please proceed with more. We need the entertainment."
Malume Mayume added:
"The EFF is very weak provincially and nationally. They're doing great at our institutions of higher learning, thanks to their EFFSC."
