EFF pledges to end nepotism in municipal recruitment
EFF supporters believe Julius Malema has the solutions to the challenges facing their communities
Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema has pledged to eliminate nepotism in municipal hiring if his party wins the upcoming local elections. The EFF is campaigning for control of Ekurhuleni's mayoral positions. With the November 4th election day approaching, Malema is traveling across the country, garnering support for his party.
"They only hire their fellow African National Congress members," Malema stated. "We will put an end to that. We will hire the children of Thembisa through an open process. Everyone will get a job." The EFF's Secretary General, Dlamini Marshall, reiterated this during a Ward 49 Community Meeting in King William’s Town, Eastern Cape, urging residents to vote for change on November 4th.
Malema further promised to exempt low-income households from paying municipal rates and service charges if his party assumes power. The EFF believes their candidate, Nthabiseng Tshivhenga, will successfully obtain a list of social grant beneficiaries from the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) and advocate for their exemption from electricity and water bills.
Supporters are confident Malema's promises will be fulfilled because they compare the EFF to a potential government that truly represents the people's needs.
