‘A lot of our votes were stolen but we will not waste our time going to the courts,’ he said on Friday afternoon. Black First Land First leader Andile Mngxitama on Friday accused the Independent Electoral Commission of SA of mismanaging the elections, claiming BLF votes were stolen.“We reject these elections…we were robbed. In many instances, results from their voting districts where 50 of our comrades voted says BLF came out with zero votes.
The self-styled pan-Africanist had boasted during campaigning that the BLF will be in parliament after the elections. Mngxitama is a former Economic Freedom Fighters’ member of parliament . He formed BLF following his expulsion from the EFF along with Mpho Ramakatsa and Khanyisile Litchfield-Tshabalala in 2015.“Us not being in parliament will not stop us from reclaiming our land. Of course, we wanted to be in parliament to agitate the [African National Congress] ANC and the EFF and expose they are running away from not returning what rightfully belongs to black people.
