Julius Malema, the leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party in South Africa has rejected ANC President Cyril Ramaphosa’s plan for a Government of National Unity (GNU), which would include all political parties with parliamentary seats.
A Coalition Government is formed when no single party secures an outright majority. It involves multiple parties coming together to govern, often based on shared policy goals.
In contrast, a GNU is also a coalition government, but it brings together diverse political perspectives. A GNU’s primary goal is to ensure stability, foster collaboration, and address critical national issues.
Posting on X (formerly Twitter) Malema said “We can’t share power with the enemy,” referring to the Democratic Alliance (DA), South Africa’s second-largest political party. In another tweet, Malema said:
<blockquote>
The arrogance continues even after the South African voters issued warning signs. You can’t dictate the way forward as if you have won elections. We are not desperate for anything, ours is a generational mission.
</blockquote>
Malema was responding to Ramaphosa’s announcement on Thursday night that they would form a GNU with all parties advancing South Africa.
The DA has said it will not go into coalition with the EFF and Umkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party led by former ANC president Jacob Zuma.
DA leader John Steenhuisen recently said the party should rescue South Africa from what he calls the “doomsday coalition” referring to an ANC-EFF-MKP coalition.
Speaking from the floor of the DA’s Federal Congress in April 2023, Steenhuisen “the forces of destruction” in the ANC and EFF and smaller parties such as the Patriotic Alliance, were converging towards forming a Doomsday Coalition after the 2024 general election. At the time, teenhuisen said the following:
<blockquote>
The day that an ANC-EFF government takes over, will be Doomsday for South Africa. EFF Doomsday will make the collapse of Zimbabwe look like a dress rehearsal and will leave all South Africans destitute – black, coloured, white and Indian.
That is why, during the remaining months before next year’s election, the DA will make it our number one priority – and do absolutely everything in our power – to prevent an ANC-EFF Doomsday Coalition from taking power.
The EFF Doomsday Coalition will expropriate property without compensation and abolish private property rights.
The EFF Doomsday Coalition will nationalise and destroy foreign investment, businesses, banks and mines.
The EFF Doomsday Coalition will plunge this country into ethnic and racial conflict the likes of which it has never witnessed before.

Malema Rejects GNU, Demands A Coalition Government

South African opposition leader Julius Malema has admitted defeat in the 29 May 2024 National and Provincial election, after his party, EFF, lost five seats, from 44 to 39.
Malema, who addressed the media on Saturday for the first time after the elections, when more than 99% of voting districts had been accounted for, said the removal of former ANC president Jacob Zuma resulted in an unexplained growth of the EFF in the previous general elections.
He said when Zuma was removed, some of his supporters in the ANC found themselves without a political home and identified with the EFF as their home.
Malema said now that Zuma has returned to politics, they have taken back their votes with the emergence of the MKP. He said:
<blockquote>
In every election, there are dynamics. In this election, the emergence of this party. What President Zuma did to us is what ActionSA did in the local government elections in Johannesburg.
Once we became aware that there was a problem called Mashaba, we went and solved that problem. We finished him and you can go ask around. I am sure he is taking quotations for hair products.
</blockquote>
Malema said he was happy the ANC supporters have returned home to where they belong. He said:
<blockquote>
We accept the results but that does not mean when there is a discrepancy. We can’t raise it. To raise a discrepancy does not mean you reject the results. We also accept defeat.
We found ourselves with votes that we could not explain where they were coming from. Now we understand that these voters were not ours to begin with.
They identified with the EFF as their political home after Jacob Zuma was removed by the ANC, and now that they have returned home.
We are left with our own members. Now we can continue our mission.
</blockquote>
Malema also revealed that he would speak to all political parties about forming part of a new government, given that no party secured an outright majority.
Speaking at the IEC Results Operation Centre, at the Gallagher Convention Centre in Midrand, Johannesburg, Malema said:
<blockquote>
We will engage will all political parties with an appreciation that a government should be constituted within the next 14 days.

Julius Malema Accepts Defeat In 29 May Elections

A South African opposition leader, Julius Malema on Thursday lambasted the country’s President, Matamela Cyril Ramaphosa, and regional bodies, AU and SADC, for avoiding confronting President Emmerson Mnangagwa over his alleged authoritarian tendencies.
Malema, who leads South Africa’s third largest party EFF, was speaking at his party’s 10th anniversary celebrations in Johannesburg.
He said both the African Union (AU) and the Southern African Development Community (SADC), have become useless in addressing the violation of human rights by African leaders. <a href="https://www.zimlive.com/malema-slams-ramaphosa-sadc-for-handling-mnangagwa-with-kid-gloves/">ZimLive</a> quoted Malema as saying:
<blockquote>
African Union is a meeting of friends who do not even call each other to order.
They can meet with a dictator who has just killed his people and do not even mention it.
So, we can’t allow the African Union to continue working the way it is working.
We are talking here about SADC; we have a problem in Zimbabwe.
These members of SADC don’t call the government of Zimbabwe to order because it is a group of brothers.
That government is violating people there.
</blockquote>
Malema, who is an MP in South Africa and also in the Pan-African Parliament, said Ramaphosa should call Mnangagwa to order for dealing harshly with his political opponents. Said Malema:
<blockquote>
No one in SADC has raised his voice to say what is this. So, we cannot have these regional bodies and the continental body including the Pan African Parliament by the way which are not biting on countries that are engaged in wrong activities.
What is wrong with President Ramaphosa calling President Mnangagwa to order; it would be coming from a good place.
They are all brothers; they are all Africans, they all speak, we assume for the interest of Africans.
So, we can’t have a situation where we have regional bodies, continental bodies that become a meeting of the elite without concrete solutions to the problems confronting the people of Africa.
</blockquote>
Last month, Namibian opposition leader Bernadus Swartbooi castigated SADC leaders who congratulated Mnangagwa on his re-election in August 2023 despite the SADC Election Observer Mission (SEOM) and other election observers raising questions on the credibility of the polls.
He also said Mnangagwa is a “puppet of the Zimbabwean military” as he came to power on the back of the November 2017 military coup.

Malema Tells Ramaphosa, SADC To Restrain Mnangagwa

Julius Malema, leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), a South African opposition party, on Wednesday, described ZANU PF as a “criminal syndicate” that rigs elections to retain power, reported <a href="https://www.zimlive.com/julius-malema-says-zanu-pf-a-criminal-syndicate-kept-in-power-by-military/">ZimLive</a>.
Speaking to SABC News, Malema said that Zimbabwe’s ruling party was using security forces to hold onto power against the wishes of the majority. Said Malema:
<blockquote>
If you go to Zimbabwe, ZANU PF is not a popular party, it’s a criminal syndicate that steals elections, and uses the army and the police to intimidate people.
</blockquote>
Malema made the remarks while discussing the decline of South Africa’s ruling party, the African National Congress (ANC), which has been in power since 1994. He said:
<blockquote>
The history of the liberation movement on the continent is such that after 30 years, it becomes self-destructive, it becomes a snake that bites and eats itself, so whether the EFF is there or not, the ANC is going to die a natural death, the same thing as ZANU PF.
</blockquote>
ZANU PF won the majority of seats in Parliament and its Presidential candidate, President Emmerson Mnangagwa, was declared winner with just over 52 percent of the vote in the Harmonised Elections held in August.

Julius Malema Says ZANU PF Is "A Criminal Syndicate" That Steals Elections

South Africa’s Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), the country’s third biggest political party, organised a protest outside the Israeli embassy in Pretoria. Party leader Julius Malema called for the embassy’s closure, criticizing Israel’s government for its actions in the conflict with Palestine.
Malema also urged retailers to remove Israeli products from their shelves by the end of October. Malema said:
<blockquote>
If they don’t remove products from Israel, we’ll remove them ourselves. We don’t want Israeli products sold in South Africa, we don’t want food from people who have the blood of innocent people on their hands.
</blockquote>
The EFF declared their support for Palestine and vowed to send arms to Hamas if elected in the 2024 elections. They demonstrated in solidarity with Palestine and emphasized their opposition to neutrality in the Israel-Palestine conflict. Malema argued that progressive governments should provide military and food aid to Palestinian freedom fighters.
The EFF intends to pressure the government to close the Israeli embassy until Palestine achieves freedom. The protests reflect a broader sentiment in South Africa, with some individuals expressing concerns that the ANC fails to consider the “Jewish side of the story” in the conflict. The EFF’s stance aligns with a growing global movement advocating for Palestinian rights and criticising Israel’s policies.
The African National Congress (ANC), the ruling party, also held a similar protest outside Israel’s embassy on Friday and called for a boycott of Israeli imports.

EFF, ANC Protest Outside Israel Embassy Calling For Palestinian Freedom

Zimbabweans in South Africa and the Julius Malema-led EFF are reportedly organising 500 buses to facilitate voting in the upcoming elections, <a href="https://www.iol.co.za/news/south-africa/zimbabweans-in-sa-rally-behind-julius-malemas-500-free-bus-plan-to-send-them-home-to-vote-70fc3c74-0d10-430f-98fd-efed6267d9c7">reported IOL</a>.
The initiative, which aims to provide free buses to transport registered voters to travel back to Zimbabwe, is being spearheaded by the self-exiled former ZANU PF political commissar Saviour Kasukuwere and South Africa’s Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF).
Speaking on Newzroom Afrika on Thursday, Victor Mpofu, one of the organisers of this effort, said:
<blockquote>
A lot of people are coming forward and they’re ready to go back home… People are willing to just go back and exercise their democratic rights.
</blockquote>
Mpofu said despite challenges to the legitimacy of Kasukuwere’s candidacy, they remain determined to encourage participation in the elections.
He said whether Kasukuwere’s name is on the ballot, or not come polling day, the organisers remained focused on encouraging voting turnout.
Earlier this month, Malema, speaking at a press conference said:
<blockquote>
We call on all Zimbabweans who are here in South Africa to go back home and vote. If it means coming back, they can come back, they are more than welcome, but they must do the right thing and go and vote.
No one is going to fight for these Zimbabweans who are loitering the streets here. They are their own liberators.
For once, they must take responsibility and get into buses and go home and vote.

Malema Organising 500 Free Buses For SA-Based Zimbabweans To Travel Home For Elections

South African opposition leader Julius Malema said that Zimbabweans must fight for their country and reclaim it from kleptocracy and the criminality that has taken over.
Kleptocracy refers to a form of government or system in which corrupt politicians enrich themselves secretly outside the rule of law, through kickbacks, bribes, and special favors from lobbyists and corporations, or they simply direct state funds to themselves and their associates.
Speaking in an interview with SABC News, Malema, a former ANC Youth League leader, and the current leader of EFF party, urged Zimbabweans not to despair. He said:
<blockquote>
They must never despair, they must continue to fight for their country and reclaim it from kleptocracy and the criminality that has hijacked Zimbabwe.
We want Zimbabweans to fight to take over their own country back.
</blockquote>
Addressing EFF supporters during the party’s 10th-anniversary celebrations at FNB Stadium on Saturday, Malema called upon President Emmerson Mnangagwa to allow Zimbabweans to vote peacefully without any form of intimidation. He said:
<blockquote>
We say to President Mnangagwa, stop disrupting the peace of Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe is going to elections.
Allow the Zimbabweans to make their choice in a democratic manner without any form of intimidation.
</blockquote>
Malema also said “pretentious elections” will not deliver the confidence needed for investment and the lifting of sanctions.

Julius Malema’s recent comments come in response to the disqualification of Saviour Kasukuwere from contesting in Zimbabwe’s presidential election. The High Court ruled that Kasukuwere had been living outside his constituency for over 18 months, which is in violation of the Electoral Act. Additionally, the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has been barring rallies organized by the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC). Malema has criticized these actions, stating that they are equivalent to preventing the main opposition candidate, Nelson Chamisa, from freely contesting the election.

Malema accused the ruling ZANU PF party of displaying signs of panic and fear by banning Kasukuwere and blocking CCC rallies.

Malema emphasized the importance of the upcoming elections for Zimbabwe and South Africa’s regional stability and economic prosperity. He stated that a stable Zimbabwe is essential to address the issue of immigration and stop xenophobia against Zimbabweans in South Africa.
Malema also noted that South Africa has suffered due to Zimbabwe’s collapse, which he attributed to a tragic failure of leadership, governance, policy bungling, and corruption. He called for Zimbabwe to have stable leadership to address these issues and promote regional stability. Hundreds of thousands of Zimbabweans migrated to South Africa due to the collapse of the Zimbabwean economy, resulting in a significant demographic shift. This has had implications for both countries, including a brain drain in Zimbabwe and an influx of labour in South Africa, as well as social tensions and political debates.

2023 Elections: Malema Says South Africa Needs A Stable, Functional Zimbabwe

The leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), Julius Malema, has strongly encouraged Zimbabweans residing in South Africa to return to their home country and participate in the upcoming presidential and parliamentary elections scheduled for August 23.
Malema emphasized that Zimbabweans must take responsibility for their own liberation and exercise their right to vote for a government of their choice. He also urged the incumbent party, Zanu PF, to refrain from violent practices against political opponents and citizens to coerce their vote. He said:
<blockquote>
We call on all Zimbabweans who are here in South Africa to go back home and vote. If it means coming back, they can come back, they are more than welcome, but they must do the right thing and go and vote.
No one is going to fight for these Zimbabweans who are loitering the streets here. They are their own liberators. For once, they must take responsibility and get into buses and go home and vote.
Zimbabweans are called upon to go home and vote, and stop blaming other people for their own misfortunes which they have got solutions to. That solution is August 23, 2023 where they will vote for a government of their choice which will restore peace in that beautiful country.
If they need help to go and vote, they must approach the EFF offices. We will be more than happy to rent buses for them to go home and vote.
The elections mark a critical opportunity for the people of Zimbabwe to elect a government of their choice to uplift the nation from the poverty that defines what was once known as the bread basket of Africa.
We call on the incumbent Zanu PF to resist the urge to practice violence against its political opponents, and any form of intimidation of citizens to coerce their vote.
Zimbabwe needs to enter an era of political tolerance that is not defined by the history of violence and suppression, but the possibility of peace, prosperity and continental unity.
</blockquote>
Eleven presidential candidates have entered the race, including the incumbent President Mnangagwa, Nelson Chamisa of Citizens Coalition for Change, and other independent candidates.

Malema Urges Zimbabweans In SA To Return Home And Vote In August Elections

A prominent South African opposition leader, Julius Malema, has urged Zimbabweans in that country to return home and vote in the 23 August general elections.
Malema, who leads South Africa’s second-largest opposition party, the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), said that his party is ready to hire buses to transport Zimbabweans so they can vote for the government of their choice.

<blockquote>
The EFF wishes the people of Zimbabwe well in the upcoming national elections which will happen on August 23, 2023.
The elections mark a critical opportunity for the people of Zimbabwe to elect a government of their choice to uplift the nation of poverty that today defines what was once known as the breadbasket of Africa.

Malema also implored ZANU PF to desist from unleashing violence against its political opponents and from any form of intimidation on citizens to coerce their vote.
Last week, another South African opposition leader, Mmusi Maimane, blamed the ruling African National Congress (ANC) for the immigration crisis in that country by “enabling” corruption and oppression in Zimbabwe by the ZANU PF.

Malema Pledges Buses To Transport Zimbabweans Back Home For 23 August Elections

The <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">Economic Freedom</a> Fighters (EFF) led by <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">Julius Malema</a> have released a statement condemning the signing of <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2023/03/23/people-identifying-as-gay-risk-life-in-prison-in-uganda-new-bill/">the Anti-Homosexuality Bill into law</a> by Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni. In a statement seen by Pindula News, the EFF views the signing of the bill as a significant step backwards in promoting democracy, <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">freedom of expression</a>, and <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">freedom of association</a> in Africa.
The law legalizes the persecution of members of the LGBTQI± community by imposing life imprisonment and, in some cases, <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">death sentences</a> for those who engage in same-sex relationships.
The EFF believes that the anti-homosexuality bill, which is based on state-sponsored hate and homophobia, is not rooted in any historical truth or objective reality. The party said the law is a product of outdated attitudes that have been imposed on African societies by Western societies.
The EFF encourages all <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">human rights activists</a> to continue to oppose “these illogical, hateful, and homophobic laws” passed against the LGBTQI± community in Uganda. The party also said the laws are a stepping stone towards the repression of people on the basis of villainizing their identity, and all of Africa must resist hateful ideas seeking to criminalize the identities of people. We present the statement below:
<blockquote>
<h2>EFF STATEMENT ON THE UGANDAN PRESIDENT YOWERI MUSEVENI’S DECISION TO SIGN THE ANTI-HOMOSEXUALITY BILL INTO LAW</h2>
Monday, 29 May 2023
The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) condemns the signing of the Anti-Homosexuality Bill by Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni officially into law, an act which has today officially legalized the persecution of members of the LGBTQI± community.
Museveni, who had returned the bill to the Ugandan Parliament to be revised due to its lack of provision for so-called “rehabilitation” of those engaged in same sex relationships, has now signed the inhumane and draconian legislation into law, a fundamental step backwards in the quest to promote democracy, freedom of expression and freedom of association in Africa.
As of today in Uganda, those who identify as homosexuals and choose their partners on the basis of their sexual identity can be sentenced to life imprisonment and in instances of “repeat offenders”, death. The bill that has been signed by Museveni is nothing short of state-sponsored hate and homophobia.
The narrative that gender and sexual identities that are non-heteronormative are against African values, cultures and that they somehow erode family values is baseless and dangerous. It is a hateful logic that is not rooted in any historical truth or objective reality, as many within the LGBTQI± community continue to practice their cultures and spiritualities to no detriment of any of the institutions they choose to associate with.
Ironically, the values of anti-homosexuality which inspire the anti-homosexuality bill which Museveni has signed into law, stem from colonialist laws imposed by the British in Uganda during the time of British Colonialism in the country.
The assertion therefore that homosexuality is a product of imperialism is counter-intuitive and nonsensical, as Western society has historically been at the forefront of outlawing and shaming homosexuality, and these outdated attitudes are what inform the pervasive homophobia in society today.
The EFF encourages all human rights activists within and outside of Uganda to continue to stand against the illogical, hateful and homophobic laws being passed against the LGBTQI± Community in Uganda.
The laws are a stepping stone towards the repression of people on the basis of villainizing their identity, and all of Africa must resist hateful ideas which seek to criminalize the identities of people.

EFF Condemns Anti-gay Law Signed By Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni

Julius Malema, leader of the <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">opposition party</a> <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">Economic Freedom</a> Fighters (EFF), has called for the establishment of a <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">Government of National Unity</a> (GNU) in <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">South Africa</a> to resolve the current economic crisis.
In an interview with BBC, Malema criticised the <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">African National Congress</a> (ANC)-led government for its inability to address pressing economic concerns. He said: 
<blockquote>
The president is not carrying the national agenda. We need a Government of National Unity constituted by all of us who are not driven by political party interests but the interests of South Africa to resolve this immediate crisis which will affect all aspects of our lives.
</blockquote>
South Africa is currently facing a multitude of challenges, including an electricity crisis that has been worsening over the past 15 years. The power shortages have been attributed to inadequate investments in the country’s ageing coal-fired power plants.
<a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">Julius Malema</a>‘s proposal for the establishment of a <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">Government of National Unity</a> (GNU) coincides with the announcement by <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">South Africa</a>‘s <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">state power utility</a>, Eskom, that it may need to increase power cuts to an unprecedented level this winter. Said Eskom Group Executive for Transmission Segomoco Scheppers in a media briefing:
<blockquote>
This is going to be a very difficult winter.
</blockquote>
Many households and businesses in Africa’s most industrialised economy are already facing scheduled electricity outages of more than 10 hours a day, largely due to breakdowns in Eskom’s ailing fleet of coal power stations.
The gap between supply and demand is expected to increase in the coming winter months as people turn on their heaters, putting additional pressure on the grid.
Eskom has not yet gone beyond “Stage 6” power cuts, which require 6,000 megawatts to be shed from the national grid. Scheppers said this winter it may move to “Stage 8” which would require up to 8,000 megawatts to be shed, translating to 16 hours of outages in a 32-hour cycle.

Malema Calls For A Government of National Unity In South Africa

Julius Malema, the leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) has expressed shock upon learning of <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Jacob_Ngarivhume">Jacob Ngarivhume</a>‘s imprisonment in Zimbabwe.
Ngarivhume, the leader of the opposition Transform Zimbabwe party, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/2023/04/28/jacob-ngarivhume-sentenced-to-four-years-in-jail">was last month convicted of incitement to public violence and sentenced to four years in jail</a> for a tweet he posted in July 2020. In the tweet, Ngarivhume called for a national shutdown to protest against poor leadership by the ZANU PF-led government.
In a Twitter post seen by Pindula News, Malema said Zimbabweans must learn to protect their people especially those fighting corruption. He said:
<blockquote>
I was shocked to hear that a Zimbabwean Government has jailed Jacob Ngarivhume @NgarivhumeJacob, for demanding accountability through picket lines on how Covid-19 funds were used in 2020 by kleptocratic politicians. Sending an activist to 4 years imprisonment for simply holding different political views is pathetic. Zimbabweans must learn to protect their own, particularly those who are the voice of the voiceless against the corrupt few. The truth will never be incarcerated; Africa we are one.
</blockquote>

The Gukurahundi era was a period of political violence from 1983 to 1987. The Zimbabwean military killed an estimated 10 000 to 20 000 people, mostly ethnic Ndebele, under the pretext of suppressing a rebellion by armed dissidents and due to political tensions between ZANU-PF and PF-ZAPU parties.
Both Zimbabwe and South Africa have constitutional guarantees of political freedoms such as <a class="Markdown_link__9ACHA MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">freedom of expression</a>, assembly, and association. However, Zimbabwe has been criticised for restricting these freedoms through arrests and harassment of <a class="Markdown_link__9ACHA MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">opposition figures</a>, journalists, and activists, while <a class="Markdown_link__9ACHA MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">South Africa</a> has a more open political space but faces concerns of political interference and corruption.

Julius Malema Speaks On Jacob Ngarivhume's Imprisonment

The president of South Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa, has said he can only be removed from power through the ballot amid calls by the opposition EFF for him to relinquish his post.
The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) led by Julius Malema plan to lead a national shutdown on Monday 20 March 2023 over the electricity crisis and to force Ramaphosa to step down.
President Cyril Ramaphosa said law enforcement officials have been briefed to ensure no anarchy and disorder are permitted on the day.  
Ramaphosa warned the red berets he can only be removed through the ballot adding “regime change … can’t come about through anarchy or disorder in the country“.  
He made the remarks at the Union Buildings during a state visit by Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan, <a href="https://www.news24.com/news24/politics/political-parties/eff-shutdown-only-way-to-get-me-out-of-office-is-by-a-vote-not-anarchy-and-disorder-says-ramaphosa-20230316">News24</a> reported.
Ramaphosa added while the right to protest was enshrined in the Constitution, it did not give the EFF the right to infringe on the rights of the rest of the citizenry. He said:
<blockquote>
The right to protest is deeply embedded in our Constitution and is a right that we as South Africans fought for and won so that South Africans can protest against what may be concerning issues, but that right is not absolute. It is a limited right not underpinned by violence. We met with our security cluster yesterday, and they will defend our people from any planned attempts to destabilise the country. 
It is [the protest] aimed at the president, the energy crisis must be resolved, and the cost of living is too high … our politics is fractious, we are divided, and this is also an issue of us into the elections next year.  
Many parties, when we go to an election, start positioning themselves because they want to win the vote and position themselves in a way that is completely different from the governing party.
But what I would like to say is that the rule of law governs South Africa, we are a constitutional democracy. The right to protest is not underpinned by violence. We will not allow anarchy…
</blockquote>
His utterances come after EFF leader Julius Malema reiterated on Wednesday his party would go ahead with its planned protest, which he said would be conducted in an orderly manner.  
On Wednesday, ANC sectary-general Fikile Mbalula said EFF leaders should be held personally liable for any deaths or destruction on Monday.

The government of South Africa has assured stakeholders that Monday 20 March will be a normal day despite a national shut down which the opposition Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) scheduled for that day.
Law enforcement officers will be out in their numbers to protect those who want to go to work on Monday during the National Shutdown, the <a href="https://www.thesouthafrican.com/news/national-shutdown-law-enforcement-officers-to-be-out-in-numbers-breaking-news-16-march-2023/">South African</a> reported citing Ministers of the Justice, Crime Prevention, and Security (JCPS) cluster.

<blockquote>
We want to assure everyone in the country that 20 March will be a normal business day. We want to reiterate to our international community that contrary to the pronouncements by those advocating for any disruption, all ports of entry – land, sea, and air – will be operational.  
Measures have been put in place to ensure that everyone who wants to go to work, travel for leisure and conduct business on this day does so in a safe and secure environment. 
We also want to caution against the spreading of messages of fear, intimidation or inflammatory statements that could incite violence. This is a criminal offence. We are aware of many social media accounts claiming that hundreds and thousands of followers are being mobilised to support the protest. 
There will be high police visibility. Our law enforcement agencies through the NatJoints will ensure multidisciplinary deployments and the necessary contingency plans are already in place. The NatJoints will be briefing the nation on its plans for the planned protest.
</blockquote>
The JCPS cluster further stated that anyone who intimidates, stops anyone from going to work, barricades the roads and highways, and uses any form of violence to try and stop our people from going on with their lives will face the full might of the law.  
Meanwhile, SA National Taxi Council (<a href="https://www.santaco.org/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Santaco)</a> said they will not take part in the National Shutdown. The announcement follows a meeting they held with the EFF.
EFF leader Julius Sello Malema addressed the public on Wednesday, ahead of the party’s looming nationwide shutdown to demand an end to load shedding and for President Cyril Ramaphosa to resign.

South Africa: Govt Says Monday Will Be A Normal Day Despite EFF Planned Shut Down

South African opposition party, EFF, is planning a national shutdown on 20 March 2023 to protest continuing load shedding and call for President Cyril Ramaphosa to resign.
EFF leader Julius Malema announced the planned protest late last month, saying the Zuma Must Fall protest will look like “Micky Mouse”. Said Malema:
<blockquote>
The national shutdown means that there will be no school, no university, factories and no business will be operating on that day.
All municipalities and all major cities will be shut down and there will be no work on that day. All major roads will be barricaded and all ports of entry, including roads that lead to borders, will be closed…
No business operations will be opened on that day and no truck, and no train will be allowed on the roads and railways, particularly the trucks transporting South Africa’s minerals and coal outside South Africa through Richards Bay.
</blockquote>
“Zuma Must Fall” was a march by thousands of South Africans in 2015 calling for then-President Jacob Zuma to resign after he fired two finance ministers in one week which led the rand to tumble to record lows.
Meanwhile, Malema said streets would only remain open for emergency and essential services during the national shutdown.
The EFF said it will also be protesting against the rising cost of living, unemployment and poverty, increasing crime levels, corruption and collapsing infrastructure.
On 20 March, the EFF national leadership plans to march to the Union Buildings to hand over their demands.
EFF said it will reveal the next step on the day if Ramaphosa does not resign.

EFF Plans To Shutdown South Africa On 20 March

South Africa’s Police Minister, Bheki Cele, has justified the ejection of members of the opposition Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) from Parliament where president Cyril Ramaphosa was delivering a State of The Nation Address (SONA) on Thursday.
The red berets stormed the stage when President Cyril Ramaphosa started delivering his speech.
After numerous disruptions, National Assembly Speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula was forced to suspend proceedings.
Cele said the police had no choice but to eliminate the threat and eject the opposition party. <a href="https://www.enca.com/news/cele-defends-police-action-sona">eNCA News</a> cite him as saying:
<blockquote>
There was a threat there of the head of state. As police we have to react.
Remember, we have a history in this country where the Prime Minister was killed in the House. 
So we are not going to wait too much to see if there was blood flowing or not. We had to act.
It’s unfortunate that it happened but I’m very sure that is correct the police had no other way of responding.
</blockquote>
After numerous disruptions, National Assembly Speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula was forced to suspend proceedings after the red berets stormed the stage.

Ramaphosa SONA: Police Justify Ejection Of EFF Members

The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), an opposition party in South Africa, has criticised President Cyril Ramaphosa for taking Parliament to court over the Phala Phala Farm saga findings saying it is a tactic by a “gangster” accustomed to using the judiciary to cover corruption. Ramaphosa’s move was after a parliamentary report accused him of <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/south-africa-ppsa-speaks-on-allegations-of-violation-of-ethics-code-against-ramaphosa/">misconduct and potentially violating the oath of office</a> after large sums of foreign currency were found hidden at his private game farm. He failed to report <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/south-africa-ramaphosa-says-ive-never-stolen-money-from-anywhere/">the money missing when it was stolen in 2020.</a> In a statement seen by Pindula News, EFF said it will defend the Parliamentary report in public and in the courts. Read the statement:
<blockquote>
<h2>EFF STATEMENT ON CYRIL RAMAPHOSA’S DECISION TO TAKE PARLIAMENT TO COURT TO REVIEW THE FINDINGS OF THE SECTION 89 INDEPENDENT PANEL</h2>
Monday. 05 December 2022
The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) is disgusted and appalled by the decision of the rogue President of South Africa Cyril Ramaphosa, to take Parliament to court in order to review the findings of the Section 89 Independent Panel.
The decision to take his own Parliament to court in order to prevent it from exercising its duty of oversight and accountability, is a confirmation of Ramaphosa’s guilt and arrogance in the face of damning findings of his violation of the Constitution of South Africa.
If Ramaphosa is truly innocent, he would not be threatened by a process to examine whether he has committed ernes on Phala Phala Farm. because it is this very impeachment process which will investigate the matter and exonerate him if he is innocent.
The question all South Africans should ask themselves is why is Ramaphosa reluctant to allow an open and transparent process to proceed. and allow Parliament to conduct its work and practice its duties as enshrined in the Constitution” Why is Ramaphosa and the ANC so determined to stall the progress of investigating the crimes which happened at and are related to Phala Phala Farm?
The money laundering President of South Africa has confirmed that he has no regard for the Constitution and wit fight tooth and nail to prevent transparency and accountability. His actions are those of a guilty man, who has no respect for the people of South Africa and will go to great lengths to cover up his criminality.
Ramaphosa has now turned to his ally and confidant in the Constitutional Court. Raymond tondo to reverse the credible, sound and concise findings of the Section 89 Independent Panel. The fact that Ramaphosa has not even applied for the review on an urgent basis shows that his sole Interest is to cast doubt over the report and delay its processing by Parliament until he has emerged in the conference of the ANC. Ramaphosa so disrespects the political parties in Parliament that he has not even cited them as interested parties in his application. This is despite knowing that it is the norm and that parties have released many statements on the issue in the past few days in particular the EFF and UDM which even made submissions to the panel.
It is a shallow and petty tactic by a gangster who has become accustomed to using the judiciary to hide his corruption.
The EFF re-affirms its support of the findings of the Independent Panel and will defend the report in public and in the courts. Ramaphosa’s continued use of the courts to hide his corrupt activity. namely with regards to the CR17 Bank Statements and now the Phala Phala Report must not be tolerated. Ramaphosa must and will be impeached for his grave violation of our constitution. and no amount of delay tactics will assist him.

EFF Criticises "Gangster" Ramaphosa For Taking Parliament To Court Over Phala Phala Farm Saga

The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), an opposition party in South Africa, has<a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/update-on-worshippers-swept-by-floods-during-baptism-death-toll-rises/"> mourned 14 Johanne Masowe Baptist Church members who drowned last week Saturday during a baptism ceremony</a> in Jukskei River, Johannesburg.
In a statement yesterday, the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) Gauteng province said:
<blockquote>
The EFF in Gauteng mourn the lives of the 14 Johanne Masowe Baptist Church members who tragically lost their lives on Saturday during their sacred baptism practice along the Jukskei River. We also extend our condolences to the families who lost their loved ones in such a tragic manner.
We also call on the provincial government of Gauteng to intensify the rescue efforts of the added three members who are said to be still missing. As Africans, our faith and spiritual beliefs are entrenched in our DNA. The churches, rivers, mountains and oceans have always been our places of refuge when we seek spiritual guidance. No one would have thought that such a sacred practice would be marred by such a tragedy.  In the same breath, we cannot ignore the permanent flood threat that the Jukskei River poses to the Alexander community, particularly in Stjwetla.

The worshippers who are believed to be Zimbabweans were reportedly swept away by flash floods which followed heavy rains in the Bramley Park area, according to local media.
Johannesburg Emergency Services spokesman Robert Mulaudzi was quoted saying that officials had warned residents about the dangers of conducting rituals along rivers.
Some of the more than 30 congregants were said to have been standing on rocks in the river on Saturday when a torrent of water suddenly swept them away, a witness said.
The pastor was reportedly saved after he clung on to a tree branch overhanging the river as he was being carried away, the witness added.

EFF Mourns 14 Johanne Masowe Church Members Who Drowned During Baptism Ceremony

The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) an opposition party in South Africa, has called for the firing of the entire board of ESCOM, that country’s power utility, its CEO and COO. In a statement seen by Pindula News, the party led by Julius Malema, a former ANC Youth League leader, said ESKOM leadership’s incompetency had plunged South Africa, formerly Azania, into a continuous power crisis. Reads the statement:
<blockquote>
<h2>EFF CALLS FOR THE IMMEDIATE FIRING OF ESKOM BOARD, CEO AND COO</h2>
Monday, 19 September 2022
The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) calls for the immediate firing of Eskom’s entire board, including the incompetent and useless Chief Executive Officer Andre de Ruyter and Chief Operating Officer Jan Oberholzer. The incompetence and arrogance of Eskom executives has plunged South Africa into a perpetual and unwarranted darkness that is killing businesses and livelihoods. The collapse of Eskom and the failure to prove dependable and consistent energy supply are meant to render the country’s electricity utility redundant and useless.
We have consistently warned against the immoral and dishonest intention of handing over South Africa’s energy generation sovereignty to the greedy establishment that will influence all spheres of life, including the future of the country’s political future. The lie perpetuated by Eskom’s incompetent executives and so-called energy analysts is that the country does not have enough renewable energy to provide electricity when there is mechanical breakdown and maintenance, and that Eskom is cash-strapped. The reality is that the crisis facing Eskom is man-made.
The EFF, in February 2020, led a march to Eskom against blackouts and privatization and handed over a memorandum of clear, practical, and implementable demands. Some of the demands we made were:
1. Emphatic call for an end to blackouts 
2. Suspension of all processes to retrench workers 
3. Review of all power purchasing agreements with independent power producers designed to benefit the racist financial sector. 
4. Standardization of all coal prices and only paying the prices determined by the National Energy Regulatory Authority of South Africa. 
5. Finish building Kusile and Medupi and set up a coal mine so that coal can be sent directly to the Kusile power station instead of by truck. 
These key demands, amongst many others, were made to Eskom and the executive was given 30 days to respond in detail to each demand. We made it clear that the inability of Eskom to supply dependable and consistent electricity to households and businesses is a threat to South Africa’s security and social stability and is killing the economy. However, because there is no sense of urgency and honesty, the Eskom board and executive management have failed to respond to our demands. Also, Eskom has also failed to put in place practical steps to resolve the energy crisis.
The EFF warned about the appointment of de Ruyter and Oberholzer, whose appointment was purely based on the color of their skin because there was enough undisputable evidence that they did not have either the technical or executive experience to manage complex systems. If anything, the evidence showed clearly that du Ruyter failed to manage a food packaging company and that giving him the responsibility to manage the country’s energy generation was reckless. Since his appointment, de Ruyter has shed more than 4,366 GWh in 2 years, more than the past 13 CEOs appointed in the last 15 years.
The government must immediately fire de Ruyter, together with Oberholzer and the Board, before the end of the day. We call for the firing of the board, CEO, and COO, knowing very well that Cyril Ramaphosa’s cowardice will not allow him to take decisive steps. The EFF warns that failure to fire Eskom’s board, CEO, and COO will require us to take more radical steps to ensure that competent, dependable, and fit people are in charge of Eskom to resolve the energy crisis and bring an end to blackouts that have become a permanent feature of our lives.
Sustainable and practical long-term solution to South Africa is balanced energy mix that includes state-owned and control generation through nuclear, renewable, coal and other sources.

EFF Calls For The Immediate Firing Of ESKOM Board, CEO And COO

South Africa’s second-largest opposition political party, EFF led by Julius Malema, says it will not mourn the death of the British Queen, Elizabeth II, as she never apologised for the plunder of African resources and the brutal killings of millions of African people by the British during the colonial era.
Queen Elizabeth II, the United Kingdom’s longest-serving monarch, died on Thursday afternoon at Balmoral, Scotland, aged 96, after reigning for 70 years.
In a statement issued by National Spokesperson, Sinawo Thambo on Thursday, the party said that if indeed there is life after death, Elizabeth and her ancestors should be punished for their crimes. Reads the statement:
<blockquote>
The Economic Freedom Fighters notes the death of Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor, the Queen of the United Kingdom, and the ceremonial head of state of several countries that were colonized by the United Kingdom.
Elizabeth ascended to the throne in 1952, reigning for 70 years as a head of an institution built up, sustained, and living off a brutal legacy of dehumanization of millions of people across the world.
We do not mourn the death of Elizabeth, because to us her death is a reminder of a very tragic period in this country and Africa’s history.
Britain, under the leadership of the royal family, took over control of this territory that would become South Africa in 1795 from Batavian control and took permanent control of the territory in 1806.
From that moment onwards, native people of this land have never known peace, nor have they ever enjoyed the fruits of the riches of this land, riches which were and still are utilized for the enrichment of the British royal family and those who look like them.
From 1811 when Sir John Cradock declared war against amaXhosa in the Zuurveld in what is now known as the Eastern Cape up until 1906 when the British crushed the Bambatha rebellion, our interaction with Britain under the leadership of the British royal family has been one of pain and suffering, of death and dispossession, and of dehumanization of African people.
We remember how Nxele died in the aftermath of the fifth frontier war, how King Hintsa was killed like a dog on the 11th of May 1835 during the sixth frontier war and had his body mutilated, and his head taken to Britain as a trophy.
It was also the British royal family that sanctioned the actions of Cecil John Rhodes, who plundered this country, Zimbabwe and Zambia.
It was the British royal family that benefited from the brutal mutilation of the people of Kenya whose valiant resistance to British colonialism invited vile responses from Britain.
In Kenya, Britain built concentration camps and suppressed with such inhumane brutality the Mau Mau rebellion, killing Dedan Kimathi on the 18th of February 1957, while Elizabeth was already Queen.
This family plundered India via the East India Company, it took over control and oppressed the people of the Caribbean Islands.
Their thirst for riches led to the famine that caused millions of people to die in Bengal, and their racism led to the genocide of aboriginal people in Australia.
Elizabeth Windsor, during her lifetime, never acknowledged these crimes that Britain and her family in particular perpetrated across the world.
In fact, she was a proud flag bearer of these atrocities during her reign. When the people of Yemen rose to protest against British colonialism in 1963, Elizabeth ordered a brutal suppression of that uprising.
During her 70-year reign as Queen, she never once acknowledge the atrocities that her family inflicted on native people that Britain invaded across the world.
She willingly benefited from the wealth that was attained from the exploitation and murder of millions of people across the world.
The British Royal family stands on the shoulders of millions of slaves who were shipped away from the continent to serve the interests of racist white capital accumulation, at the centre of which lies the British royal family.
If there is real life and justice after death, may Elizabeth and her ancestors get what they deserve.

Queen Elizabeth Must Be Punished For Her "Crimes" In The After-life - EFF

South African opposition politician, Julius Malema, said his country made a blunder by failing to emulate Zimbabwe’s land reform policy at the turn of the Millenium.
Speaking on Sunday, Malema, who leads South Africa’s third-largest political party, EFF, said Zimbabwe was left isolated because other African countries failed to reclaim their land from white minority farmers. Said Malema:
<blockquote>
South Africa will never succeed in economic liberation without other African countries being economically liberated. We failed to follow Zimbabwe.
When they took the land, we and every other African country should have followed. Zimbabwe then wouldn’t have been isolated, there’d have been room to negotiate.
</blockquote>
Back in 2000, Zimbabwe’s then-president, Robert Mugabe, ordered the expropriation and redistribution of most white-owned farms.
The move was condemned by Western countries that accused Zimbabwe of violating property rights and responded by imposing punitive sanctions on the southern African country.

South African opposition politician Julius Malema has rubbished Police Minister Bheki Cele’s call for his fellow citizens to go to be in bed by 9 PM tonight and avoid celebrating New’s Eve outside because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Speaking ahead of New Year at Princess Magogo Stadium in KwaMashu, outside Durban, on Wednesday, Cele warned that there would be consequences for individuals who break curfew or are drunk. He said:
<blockquote>There is no December 31st. There won’t be any hitting of tins here. By 9 o’clock everyone should be in bed. So it is important to note that for that to happen we [SAPS] need to monitor that.
Make sure that you lock them in! Usually, you help them and show them home. This time we will give them a home. Our stations may be full, but we will make room for them.</blockquote>

Malema: I Won't Be Sleeping At 9 PM On New Year's Eve

A South African opposition party, Economic Freedom Fighters led by Julius Malema has issued a statement following reports that Zimbabwe agreed to compensate former white farmers who lost their land during the fast track land reform programme.
We present the statement in full below.
<blockquote>The Economic Freedom Fighters notes the announcement by Emmerson Mnangagwa. the president of Zimbabwe, that his government has taken a decision to compensate the British occupiers of Zimbabwean land who lost their illegitimate rights to Zimbabwean land through the fast track land reform programme.
Mnangagwa announced that they had secured S3.5 billion to pay to British settlers for the loss of ‘their lane. through the Zimbabwean land reform programme. and hopes that this will bring Closure to the instability brought about by the forced return of Zimbabwean land back to Zimbabwean people. We are of the firm view that Mnangagwa is either deeply misinformed about the real causes of the crisis in Zimbabwe. or is simply catapulting to the pressure from the white supremacist world. Either way, the treasonous act of paying to white settlers money that Zimbabwe does not have will not resolve the crisis in Zimbabwe. which is essentially a political crisis resulting from years of mismanagement. at the centre of which Mnangagwa features prominently.
It must also be noted that the push for the repossession of the land In Zimbabwe was not initiated by the State. At the time Zimbabwe gained its independence, the framework for land reform was premised on a market-led land reform programme whereby the State. with the assistance of Britain, was required to purchase land from white landowners for land redistribution purposes. This was based on the 1980 Lancaster Agreement, which provided that the government would not engage in compulsory land acquisition and that land distribution would take place subject to the principle of ‘willing buyer. willing saner’, whereby the government would ‘pay promptly adequate compensation’ for property.
When this failed to return Zimbabwean land back to Lmbabweans. it was the ordinary person on the street, together with war veterans, who started forcefully taking back their land in Zimbabwe. This action found a willing political leader in the form of a resolute and ideologically clear Seeder in President Robert Mugabe.
Mnangagwa is now not only pissing on the graves of the many heroic men and women who laid down the lives for the return of Zimbabwean land. but he is also desecrating on the legacy of Robert Mugabe. from whom he violently took power in an unprincipled coup. This action IS a Serious blow on the idea of decolonisation in the continent. It is reminiscent of the forced debt France imposed on Haiti when the Haitians liberated themselves from slavery. wherein France demanded payment for loss of property.
The crisis in Zimbabwe is as a direct consequence of the political ineptitude of the ruling elite there. their deeply embedded cronyism. and their insatiable desire for theft of public funds. It has been proven time and again that ordinary Zimbabweans who got the land as a result of the fast track land reform programme are actually working the land. and producing at levels that would be much higher if there was a targeted support programme from the State. 
Mnangagwa will be remembered as a clueless, ideological amoeba who was prepared to trade oft important gains of the struggle in order to be liked by whites. We deeply condemn this act of betrayal by Mnangagwa. and call on ordinary Zimbabweans to reject this wasteful use of money that should be directed towards building hospitals in Zimbabwe.

Malema-Led EFF Says "Mnangagwa's Treasonous Act Will Not Resolve The Zimbabwean Crisis," - As Zimbabwe Compensate White Farmers

The former leader of the Democratic Alliance, an opposition party in South Africa has said black lives matter not only outside Africa.
He added that African leaders who were violating human rights in their own countries must just relinquish power.
Commenting on a tweet by his compatriot, Julius Malema who leads the Economic Freedom Fighters who<a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/pasi-nembavha-malema-on-anti-corruption-campaign-in-zimbabwe/"> had earlier applauded the anti-corruption campaign in Zimbabwe</a>, Maimane said:
<blockquote>Apawataura zvinemusoro. Mnangagwa imbavha, atadza kutonga nyinka. Ngaende. If <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23blacklivesmatter" rel="hashtag noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blacklivesmatter</a>  then that must be true here in Africa as well. Mnangagwa must stop abusing the people. Paul Biya must stop abusing the people. Museveni must stop.</blockquote>
These remarks come when the democratic space is shrinking in Zimbabwe as there has been a spate of arrests, kidnapping and torture of members of opposition political parties, legal profession and human rights defenders in the country.
The victims of the brutality accuse state security agents of their ordeals.
Maimane and Malema also speak when the country’s economy has been on a downward spiral since 24 months ago and there is no hope for a better future as the outbreak of the coronavirus did less to help the situation.

"Black Lives Also Matter In Africa, Mnangagwa Must Go," - Maimane

The leader of the opposition MDC Alliance, Nelson Chamisa has said that now is the time for change and building of a new “United Africa.”
He speaks a day afer the continent commemorated the annual Africa Day which is in rememberance of the foundation of the Organisation of African Unity, the precursor to the African Union, on the 25th of May.
He said four pillars, leadership, entrepreneurship,partnership and transformation shall propel Africa to greater heights.
He echoed sentiments by Africa’s late great Pan Africanists including Robert Mugabe, Kwame Nkrumah and Muammah Gaddafi saying Africa is one nation and one economy therefore must use one currency.
In his Africa Day message, Chamisa said that Africa had everything it needs to prosper but had a “poverty of leadership and scarcity of vision.”
His views are in resonance with those of Julius Malemathe leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters, an opposition party in South Africa.

"It's Time To Change And Build A New United Africa," - Chamisa

The leader of South Africa’s Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party, Julius Sello Malema has sent a birthday message to advocate Nelson Chamisa, the leader of the opposition MDC.
Malema posted on Twitter in response to a post by Chamisa which announced that he had turned 42 today. Malema responded:
<blockquote>Happy birthday cde President, consolidate the ground for a peaceful and prosperous Zimbabwe. Enjoy your day.</blockquote>
Chamisa had posted saying:
<blockquote>Nelson Chamisa @ 42..Today in 1978 I was given a special gift from God.I thank God as I thank you all my dear friends for standing with me through it all. We have fought and won many battles.We will fight more, win more and even celebrate more. Better days are coming! <a class="link-complex" href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23Godisinit" rel="hashtag noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Godisinit</a></blockquote>
Chamisa who was born at Silveira Mission Hospital in Bikita, Masvingo province, on February 2, 1978, to Alice and Sylvanus Chamisa. has been involved in politics for half his life, having served as the secretary-general of the Zimbabwe National Students’ Union between 1999 and 2001.
He enrolled at Harare Polytechnic College in 1998 for a National Diploma in Marketing Management and his eloquence saw him elected as Harare Polytechnic College Students’ Representative Council president in the same year.
Probably a turning point in Chamisa’s political career could be1999 when he was expelled from Harare Polytechnic. He had been barred from speaking at the graduation ceremony but he did so regardless.
Chamisa forcibly grabbed the microphone from the guest of honour, then Higher Education Minister, Dr Ignatius Chombo, and addressed the gathering in the full glare of Central Intelligence Organisation agents and police officers at the event.
He was arrested and was taken into a Santana vehicle prompting graduating students to leave their seats, surround the vehicle threatening to set it ablaze.
Chamisa was released a few minutes later and violent clashes between the students and the police followed resulting in Chamisa’s expulsion. He later challenged successfully in the high court.
Today, he is the leader of the biggest opposition party, MDC Alliance, the position he assumed in 2018 following the death of party founding member, Morgan Tsvangirai.
He holds a Political Science Degree and a Law Degree, both attained with the University of Zimbabwe.
Happy Birthday From Pindula!
