Those who are criticising the EFF for going into coalition talks with the ANC simply do not understand politics.
Malema said the ANC tried to lure them with positions but they stood firm on the demands the party made ahead of the coalition talks.
Theirs, Malema said, was to kill the ANC “but if we say guys let’s combine our numbers in parliament and pass a law that women get free sanitary towels, why would you say we shouldn’t speak to the ANC about that which has a potential for women to get free sanitary towels?” “It's politics my child, don’t act like Mashaba and say ‘I don’t talk to, I don’t talk to’ now he is unable to get the mayorship with this ‘I don’t talk to thing’ of being too forward. Just walking around not knowing politics.”Malema has also defended his decision to have tea with former president Jacob Zuma ahead of his incarceration for refusing to appear before the state capture commission of inquiry.
He said he went to Nkandla to tell Zuma that he will get arrested should he remain steadfast in his refusal to appear before the commission of inquiry into state capture.
