EFF statement following successful provincial manifesto launches in March 2024
24 March 2024
The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) is pleased to have hosted a total of seven (7) successful provincial manifesto launches in the month of March 2024, ahead of the decisive Provincial and National Elections which will be held on the 29th of May 2024 in South Africa.
The Provincial Manifesto Rallies, which were addressed by the Commander in Chief and President of the EFF Julius Malema, came after the successful launch of the EFF Elections Manifesto at Moses Mabhida Stadium on the 10th of February 2024, under the theme of Land And Jobs Now! Stop Loadshedding! It is this battle cry that was the emphasis of all the provincial manifesto launches, and guided the localised approach of how the EFF Manifesto would be applicable to the challenges confronting each region and each province.
At the centre of each message to our people in all the provinces were the commitments to provide land to our people and support to work the land, the commitment to create jobs through industrialisation, infrastructure development and trade and the commitment to end loadshedding through diverse sources of energy and protecting existing coal capacity. The people in the provinces of Gauteng, Mpumalanga, North West, Free State, Eastern Cape, Northern Cape and the Western Cape, were further assured of the EFF's commitment to end crime, provide free Education, quality housing, quality healthcare, ending unemployment and the provision of a graduate grant and the increase of social grants for the needy.
On the 02 of March 2024, the Gauteng Provincial Manifesto launch was held at a full to capacity Dobsonville Stadium in Soweto. The Commander in Chief delivered a compelling message to the people of Gauteng on how the rising rates of unemployment would be addressed through the reviving of industry in areas such as Johannesburg, Sedibeng and Ekurhuleni, the commitment to scrap the electricity debt of the people of Soweto, how crime would be combatted through visible and active policing in areas such as Mamelodi and Soshanguve and how areas such as the West Rand would receive massive support to bolster participation in agricultural activities.
