EFF calls for submissions for its local government elections manifesto

The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) already knows how it will spread its message. But it is still to decide on what the message will be.

The opposition party issued a statement on Monday calling on members of the public to “make submissions on what they would like to see addressed in the local government elections manifesto”.

“The EFF further calls for submissions on what the EFF elections theme should be…” the statement continued.

Submissions must be made to manifesto@effighters.org.za no later than Friday.

At its recent plenum in Benoni‚ the EFF vowed that “every municipality‚ every ward and every community shall be contested with credible candidates approved through robust consultations with the people”.

The party’s declaration said that “bicycles‚ donkey-carts‚ cars‚ lorries‚ trucks‚ buses‚ trains‚ planes‚ helicopters‚ ships and‚ boats” will be amongst the forms of transport the EFF will use to spread the message of “economic emancipation in our lifetime”.

“We shall ensure to cover every corner of South Africa‚ from village to village‚ township to township‚ suburb to suburb‚ kraal to kraal‚ city to city‚ and everywhere where there is human life to speak and preach the message for economic freedom in our lifetime‚” national spokesperson Mbuyiseni Quintin Ndlozi said.

“In line with the mission of attainting state power to further the agenda of economic freedom‚ the EFF will contest the local government elections with the view to win them as a step towards total takeover in the 2019 general elections.
