SHARPEVILLE - Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema says Human Rights Day is about commemorating true freedom fighters.
Malema said the governing African National Congress was in the Vaal on Thursday to observe the public holiday but had failed to provide basic services to the residents of Sharpeville and other neighbouring areas.
Speaking in the hot sun to a massive crowd, Malema said if the EFF won the general elections, the party’s first priority would be to provide residents with job opportunities by bringing businesses into the area. Speaking in Setswana, Malema said the EFF’s fight was for black people and was a direct stance against racism.
