It's official: EFF #fillsupthestadium at historic 1976 site

Soweto’s 40‚000-seater Orlando Stadium is officially full‚ as the Economic Freedom Fighters rally to launch their manifesto for the August local government elections.

EFF leader Julius is expected anytime from now.

The EFF spared no effort to prove to all that they can fill up a stadium and event is symbolic as it takes place a few metres from where students in 1976 defied the apartheid government. It is in this township that youths redefined the struggle against apartheid.

Malema was expelled as president of the African National Congress Youth League (ANCYL)‚ after which he founded the EFF in August 2013.
