EFF ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS

The EFF is selling their jackets for R900 each for their 10th anniversary celebration, which will be hosted at the FNB Stadium on Saturday, July 29.

The publication adds that the party previously asked for donations of cows, vegetables, groceries, T-shirts and buses for the anniversary celebrations. Their leader Julius Malema previously revealed that donations can be as little R10 to finance their anniversary.

“You can donate anything in your means to express how over the past 10 years the EFF has touched your life. No donation is too small,” said the party.

“Our organisation will be celebrating 10 years of unbroken struggle, 10 years of anti-corruption, 10 years of fighting racism, 10 years of being in the forefront of the land.

“Ten years of making sure that the African people are represented without fear or favour, 10 years of ensuring that black professionals are not looked down [on] but rather are respected and treated as their counterparts are.”

The party added that they need resources to finance the organisation as they won’t succeed without resources.
