Malema: 'EFF is not fighting for blacks to oppress whites'

He addressed thousands of supporters at the Orlando Stadium in Soweto, where the EFF held its final rally ahead of Wednesday’s elections.

"We are not fighting for blacks to oppress whites, we are fighting against white privilege and white arrogance, we want equality. We want to sit at the same dinner table with white people. You can no longer farm alone and own call centers alone, otherwise, we will destroy that dinner table," Malema said. 

Several polls have predicted that the party will grow significantly after the elections especially in Gauteng, with the Institute for race relations (IRR) saying it will grow to 14.9% nationally. 

"Political apartheid is over, we still have economic apartheid. Why are actors and actresses voting for the ANC? Because they are paying white actors and actresses more money than you, yet you are doing the same job. Those living in Randburg and Midrand, why do you act like you have arrived but yet you are swimming in a pool of debt, where you are working they are paying whites more money than black people yet you are working the same job. Political freedom without economic freedom is useless," added Malema. 

In his final push for South Africans to head to the polls and vote EFF, Malema said the party will ensure the African children is prioritised by ensuring that free education does not include paying for registration fees. He vowed the party would double the social grant, open factories for employment growth, build houses for the disabled and ensure that women own over 50% of the land.
