“Only the EFF can protect the provision of electricity. We are not opposed to ‘just transition’ (from coal to greener energy), but we will not close our coal power stations until a ‘just transition’ produces equivalent megawatts to the same power stations you want us to close.

“We are not going to sell our coal to anyone if you say we can’t use coal yet. You want to sell it and take it to your country. No one must take coal from South Africa if they can’t allow us to use coal.” – Julius Malema

Meanwhile, (EFF) deputy president Floyd Shivambu dismissed claims that divisions are brewing between him and party leader Julius Malema saying they are “blood brothers.”

His most fiery criticism was aimed at the ANC’s Gauteng leadership, specifically the decisions made by Premier Panyaza Lesufi.

“When we take over as the EFF, all of you who are unemployed and you don’t have your results because you owe fees, you must know we are going to cancel all your debt and give you your results free of charge. We want a child from a shack to go to the best of the best university. We will work with Cuba to establish quality primary healthcare.” – Julius Malema
