EFF welcomes new ‘white fighters’
The EFF has welcomed the new news of two ‘white fighters’ joining the party with leader Julius Malema sharing his appreciation.
Julius Malema has shared his appreciation and praise for a group of white South Africans who recently joined the EFF.
The controversial politician revealed that contrary to popular belief, “all are welcome” in his political party.
Malema has come fire in recent months after he was accused of promoting the “genocide of white people” in SA.
MALEMA PRAISES ‘WHITE FIGHTERS’
Over the past few days, images of white South Africans signing up for membership to the party have gone viral.
Malema reacted to the image – particularly of a female Boksburg resident – revealing that race was not a determining factor for his party.

He tweeted: “Everyone who loves our country is more than welcome. This is home to everyone, including her”.
In another tweet, he posted: “A fighter is a fighter. Welcome”.
Yvette Montalbano van Sunward Park in Boksburg sê sy het lank en hard gedink en glo die EFF, waar sy vandeesweek aangesluit het, die beste toekoms vir haar en haar kinders kan gee. Sy is oortuig sy sal in vanjaar se verkiesing vir Julius Malema se party stem. pic.twitter.com/R28EVq2GqW

‘PROUD OF BEING AN EFF MEMBER’
Last year, Dawn Elaine Meyer, a white EFF member from the Western Cape, made headlines with her political stance.
She told IOL: “Unlike other parties, the EFF is responsive and it provides solutions. When we need help, they send people.

“I don’t view politics in terms of race as I lived in District Six with my father, and I identify a lot more with the EFF.
“For me, it’s about serving the people, and I am proud of being an EFF member.”
