'Parliament must be dissolved' - EFF won't participate in Ramaphosa's swearing in
15 February 2018
Cape Town - The Economic Freedom Fighters says it will not legitimise the election of incoming president Cyril Ramaphosa by participating in the process in Parliament on Thursday.
EFF leader Julius Malema held a press conference on Thursday during which he said that a new president needed a new mandate from the electorate following the constitutional violations of the past few years.
"The EFF has no confidence in the entire leadership of the ANC, and therefore believes that even those who will be elected after Jacob Zuma will be nothing but substitutes in the same corruption game.
"If Ramaphosa becomes president, he is simply going to replace Zuma's corruption stooges with his own corruption stooges."
