Malema vows to root out corruption at FS, NC manifesto launch

Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader, Julius Malema says the party will not rest until President Cyril Ramaphosa faces the full wrath of the law on the Phala-Phala matter.

The party is challenging the decision of Parliament’s Impeachment committee to rescind the recommendation of Advocate Thandazani Madonsela , as its chief evidence leader.

Malema says the party will root out corruption in all spheres of government, including in Universities.

Malema addressed the EFF Free State and Northern Cape manifestos, as the party continues to ramp up the campaign trail, calling on residents to come out in numbers to vote for the party in the upcoming local government elections.

EFF leader Julius Malema has called on party supporters to lead by example in obtaining economic freedom in Mangaung by voting for the EFF.

Malema says its time for the party to take over the Mangaung Metro, which he describes as one of the poorly run Metros in the country.
