The Freedom Front Plus (FF+) on Saturday said the EFF’s march to Kleinfontein “was nothing but political theatrics”.
It accused the EFF of trying to turn attention away from the poor performance of the Tshwane government.
The EFF is in a coalition with the ANC and ActionSA in Tshwane. Other parties in the coalition government are the ACDP, AIC, DOP, PA, PAC, ATM and GOOD.
FF+ also accused the EFF of having a “dangerously inflammatory and destructive culture”.
The EFF marched to the Afrikaner-only settlement in Kleinfontein on Friday demanding that its “segregation” policies be abolished.
EFF Gauteng chairperson Nkululeko Dunga said the party was against an area only wanting one race to live there.
“We can never allow an area to be a white-only area, where black people are only subjected to sweat and slavery but cannot reside in that area. There is no single area in South Africa or even the City of Tshwane that is a black-only area,” he said.
“Kleinfontein must fall, it must cease to exist,” he said.

It said a video of the EFF’s MMC for environmental affairs in Tshwane, Obakeng Ramabodu, vandalising an AfriForum sign at Kleinfontein demonstrates this.
The FF+ further said it was hypocritical of the red berets to accuse Kleinfontein residents of illegally occupying the land.
“The EFF, as a governing coalition partner in the Tshwane metro, deliberately chose to target Kleinfontein, an Afrikaner cultural community, but tolerates over 500 illegal informal settlements in the metro and approximately 20 illegal developments functioning within the metro that do not meet formalisation requirements or pay taxes,” said Jaco Mulder, the party’s provincial leader in Gauteng.
“In addition, the metro does not provide any services to the Kleinfontein community.”
