EFF’s manifesto launch is illegal: DA calls on Cele and IEC to take action
26 September 2021
The DA calls on the Police Minister, Bheki Cele, and the IEC Chairperson, Glen Mashinini, to lodge a joint review of what appears to be blatant illegal campaigning by the EFF.
It is clear from the EFF’s campaign event today that the party has no regard for the rule of law and has once again proven that they are not above using the own supporters as fodder during this pandemic.
According to the current adjusted level 2 lockdown regulations, the legal limit for outdoor gatherings is 500 persons. It is evident from the pictures and videos coming from the EFF’s event today that attendance is in excess of 500 people.
The EFF’s manifesto launch is therefore an illegal gathering and their display today is tantamount to illegal campaigning.
