210 EFF public reps to resign over rally transport debacle
The EFF has asked public representatives who failed to arrange transport for members to attend the party's birthday rally to resign from their positions.
This was announced by party leader Julius Malema at a media briefing on Sunday following a two-day Central Command Team meeting.
The meeting came just a few weeks after the party celebrated its 10-year anniversary rally at FNB stadium in Soweto, where all the public representatives who failed to heed the transport directive were banned.
Malema said the CCT received the final report and decided to recall all public representatives who failed to meet the organisational mandate and obligation.
"The recall means that all councillors, members of provincial legislatures and members of parliament who failed to organise for and pay for buses to the 10th anniversary celebrations must resign from positions of their deployment with immediate effect.
This resolution is in line with section 14 (9) of the EFF Constitution which says ‘the CCT has the powers to recall any deployees of the organisation from any position of deployment including deployment as public representatives’. The CCT further resolved to remove from elected structures all leaders who failed to organise for and pay for buses for the 10th anniversary celebrations," added Malema.
They will still be allowed to serve the organisation.
"If they are loyal to the cause for economic freedom in our lifetime, the EFF members who are recalled from deployments and removed from elected structures will remain as members of the organisation but will not be eligible for deployments back to structures they were recalled from," said Malema.
