EFF slates ‘Zuma’s first-born kleptomaniac’ Mabuza
The party says Mabuza represents 'nothing' ideologically.

The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) on Monday slated Mpumalanga’s premier David Mabuza after reports that he was trying to lure EFF leader Julius Malema back to the ANC.
The top ANC member, said to be a member of the infamous “premier league”, said that the ANC “could be better” if “we had him [Malema] in our ranks”. Malema and his deputy president, Floyd Shivambu, were expelled from the ANC in 2012. This after the ruling party found that Malema, among other things, had brought the party into disrepute.
In response, the EFF said that Mabuza “represents everything that is wrong about the ruling party”, and “nothing ideologically”. The party claims the ANC “betrayed” the African people.
“The EFF regards the proclamation by DD Mabuza, ANC Chair of Mpumalanga, that he has a mission to bring back CIC Julius Malema to ANC as a selfish attempt to raise his profile and make news. Mabuza, who represents nothing ideologically, has taken a decision to use the name of the CIC in his campaign towards the ANC conference.
“We know for sure that he does not mean any of the things he is saying just like those in the ANC who are talking about the land. They are all claiming that they believe in land expropriation without compensation; but we are not fooled because they only use this to gain public attention for their aims to take over the ANC.
“The CIC Julius Malema will never be recruited into any political work or formation by a kleptocrat like Mabuza. DD Mabuza represents everything that is wrong about the ruling party; he is like Zuma’s first born kleptomaniac. Like all kleptocrats they suffer deep ideological bankruptcy because all they know is corruption.
“The CIC Julius Malema is leading a glorious people’s alternative, the EFF which is very close to collapsing DD Mabuza’s ANC. The future has written the ANC off because it betrayed the people and the African Revolution. EFF is the future and no one can stop it.”
