The EFF congratulates its number one member, President and Commander in Chief, Julius Malema for successfully completing his Bachelor of Arts Degree and qualification. He continues to make us proud and his graduation confirms the reality that education is central to the struggle for economic freedom. Indeed, without education, economic freedom will not be sustainable.

The CIC has indeed demonstrated great patience, perseverance and strength of will. He has participated and led from the forefront in the founding of the most important political movement for the total emancipation of our people. He has built EFF structures, from branches to the EFF successive National People's Assemblies, led the EFF elections campaign, including leading the first generation of EFF Members of Parliament. He has delivered selflessly and contributed whole heartedly to the advancement of the revolution alongside politically motivated court cases that saw him persecuted for standing up for the true demands of the the African Revolution. In all of this the CIC not only stayed true to principle, but also took to pen and paper to study and successfully complete a degree qualification.

The completion of this BA qualification amidst all other demands on him as a leader places him amongst the struggle heroes and heroines who never compromised to lead our people in the liberation struggle without academic qualifications. These selfless heroes and heroines of our liberation struggle studied amidst torture, imprisonment, war and building a formidable liberation movement.

We salute the CIC and call upon all young people of South Africa to emulate his example. Value education against all the odds and never compromise in the struggle for Free Education for all.
