Malema ‘strong enough’ to address EFF final Rally
The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) say its leader, Julius Malema, is strong enough to address the party's final rally ahead of the elections next week.
On Saturday, Malema's grandmother, Sarah, passed away in Seshego Limpopo.
The party is holding its 'Tshela Thupa Rally' at the Orlando Stadium on Sunday.
"He is strong, he is a soldier,” says the Party's chairperson, Dali Mpofu.
“Look, it’s a very difficult moment. This is a person who is so close to him and raised him. Every election when he votes in Seshego he would go with her, this will be the first time he votes alone," said the Party's chairperson Dali Mpofu
Mpofu says the party's top six spent time with Malema and his family on Saturday and he was able to go with them to inspect the stadium.
Thousands of EFF supporters are expected to fill up the stadium to hear Malema's final message before they head to the polls.
Mpofu says the rally sends a message that the EFF is here to stay.
