EFF is SA's last hope: Malema
Water shortages have been flagged as one of the biggest concerns along the EFF's election trail in Limpopo.
The country's third biggest opposition party is in the province ahead of the Local Government Election on 3 August.
Laastehoop residents told EFF leader Julius Malema of their water challenges when he visited the area on Thursday.
Unemployment is also a huge problem in this community.
"Our children are sitting at home. They don't have jobs. It's even the first time a political party has visited Laastehoop," said a resident.
Malema said he intended on visiting all 45 wards in Polokwane.
"The EFF is the last hope for jobs and service delivery. The people don't have water or electricity. They feel like they have been neglected," Malema said.
Malema said the party's election campaign is more focused on what the EFF can do for communities as opposed to the candidates contesting.
"We are not running politics of personality card. We are running politics of principle. So we are talking more about our manifesto."
Malema will visit communities in Polokwane until 31 July.
