In a landmark ruling, the Gauteng High Court has sent a clear and powerful message: hate speech, even when disguised as political rhetoric, has no place in public discourse. The case between EFF President Julius Malema and Patriotic Alliance (PA) Deputy President Kenny Kunene, one that has captured the attention of South Africans and beyond, sets an important legal precedent in shaping the standards of communication for politicians and public figures alike. With this judgment, the courts have reasserted their…

Lonzi spoke about the social relief distress grant of R350, saying it is not enough for South Africa’s youth. “R350 is not enough, we can’t…

Fresh from the chaotic regional elective conference that exposed deep-rooted factional battles within the party, the Limpopo ANC Peter Mokaba’s call for unity will come to the test as it is set for a fierce battle with the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) in the Polokwane Ward 13 by-elections. Polokwane Ward 13 is where the EFF leader and Commander-in-Chief Julius Malema comes from and has been run by his party’s councillor following the 2021 local government elections. Former ANC MP Boy…

The Leader of the EFF, Julius Malema, has fired back at US President Donald Trump, telling him that he is not scared of him. Malema said if Trump was not afraid of him, he should have invited him to last week’s White House meeting with President Cyril Ramaphosa where he became the topic in absentia. That was when Trump played a video of Malema chanting Kill the Boer and asked why the South African authorities are not arresting him. Malema’s…

When President Jacob Zuma brought former EFF Deputy President Floyd Shivambu into the MK Party in August 2024, it wasn’t a gamble — it was a calculated masterstroke. This wasn’t just about gaining a high-profile figure. It was about strengthening the movement with someone who understands the language of power, policy, and planning. His ability to articulate and organize around these themes likely enhances MK’s appeal in KwaZulu-Natal and beyond, where it emerged as the largest party in 2024. The…

The proposed electronic voting (e-voting) system for future South African elections has hit turbulence even before implementation, with the Independent Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC) and major opposition parties shooting it down for various reasons.

Former Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) National spokesperson and MP Dr Mbuyiseni Ndlozi has insisted that the red berets’ “entanglement” with former President Jacob Zuma and the Umkhonto Wesizwe (MKP) Party is the reason why the Julius Malema led party was drubbed at the May 29 general elections. Speaking to SABC News earlier on Monday, February 10, Ndlozi said the association with Zuma led to distrust and electoral decline that saw the party shedding voters.  He was speaking for the first…

Former Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) Member of Parliament Dr Mbuyiseni Ndlozi has sang South African President Cyril Ramaphosa’s praises, saying he is committed to “genuine transformation”.  In a tweet published on his X (formerly Twitter) account on Monday, February 3, Ndlozi stated that Ramaphosa is “not what we have been told he is,” asserting that the president is committed to genuine transformation in South Africa.  “This man is not what we have been told he is.

The leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), Julius Malema, has become the latest South African politician to call on President Cyril Ramaphosa to withdraw the country’s soldiers from the war-torn eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
