The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) says its government will not hesitate to kill armed criminals.
Party leader Julius Malema says the EFF will get rid of criminals if it is voted into power after the 2019 elections.

He addressed his party's Africa Day rally in Sunnyside.
"Under the EFF government any criminal found to be in possession of a dangerous weapon and threatening the lives of law enforcement officers and innocent South Africans, there will be a brown tent in his family, they shall erect that tent to bury the criminal," said Malema.
Malema accused the African National Congress (ANC) government of failing to protect South Africans.
"I have never heard Ramaphosa calling upon the police to arm themselves and make anyone who points a gun at them to meet their maker quickly. Because police are unable to protect us. The criminals are armed and dangerous than the police. Our police carry useless firearms and criminals are carrying AK47s.”
He told his supporters that an EFF government will not allow police and innocent civilians to be killed.
