Economic Freedom Fighters President Julius Malema has commended South Africans for bringing the ANC to it's knees and recognised the rise of uMkhonto Wesizwe,which performed above his party in KwaZulu-Natal and Mpumalanga.

Malema admitted that the 2024 elections were not easy and said whatever effort and resources dedicated in the province of KwaZulu-Natal,parts of Gauteng and Mpumalanga were undermined by the commendable and decisive rise of uMkhonto Wesizwe which performed above the EFF in two provinces.

Malema congratulated the people of South Africa and said he welcomes the outcome of the 2024 General Elections

"We note the discrepancies, unprofessional conduct, dysfunctional occurrences and inconsistent results capturing that have been brought to our attention from different parts of South Africa. These elections were not easy for the EFF, which was fighting, not only against the ruling party, but against many puppets of the white racial capital establishments existing as political parties and in different media platforms,"said Malema.

He said Parliament will now be better positioned as a true representative of the citizens and not a platform to protect the political elite of the ruling class.  

Malema said those who did not participate towards the build up of the election within the EFF will not go to Parliament or the provincial legislature.

"Even if their names appeared higher on the list submitted before elections," he said.

He said they are willing to work with the ANC or any other party, emphasising that the ruling party is not arrogant when compromised.

"We are the happiest because we have achieved our mission in our lifetime and that mission was to bring the ANC below 50%. That is what we have always told you. There?s no more money for slay queens Its done! We have taken the purse. The purse is gone! " 

He said they will continue fighting for South Africans whether they are in government or not, stating that university students voted for the EFF in their numbers.
