EFF vows to proceed with KZN manifesto launch despite clashes
EFF members and the followers of Ngizwe Mchunu have clashed in Inanda north of Durban.
The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) in KwaZulu-Natal plans to hold its provincial manifesto launch on Saturday, despite clashes that erupted on Friday. Tensions flared in Inanda, north of Durban, when EFF members and supporters of media personality Ngizwe Mchunu got into a heated exchange, leading to the involvement of police to mediate the situation.
Mchunu had organized a musical event close to the venue where the EFF was set to hold its meeting on Saturday. EFF leader Julius Malema and Mchunu have been embroiled in a bitter feud that has culminated in court proceedings. Twala, the EFF provincial leader in KZN, alleged that Mchunu and his group had assaulted EFF volunteers and shot at them, removing EFF posters in the process.
In response, EFF has vowed to proceed with its programme and has filed a complaint against Mchunu, his security, and his associates. Mchunu, on the other hand, has denied the allegations, claiming that the EFF group had provoked them.
