  • The president of the Economic Freedom Fighters, Julius Malema, said he was willing to engage the African National Congress on the budget speech and GNU.

Julius Malema, the leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), has expressed strong criticism regarding the recent Budget Speech and the Government of National Unity (GNU) in South Africa. He described the GNU as a "white-led unholy alliance" aimed at protecting white monopoly capital rather than addressing the needs of the black majority. Malema highlighted that the EFF would not join the GNU, accusing it of being a continuation of the Democratic Alliance's (DA) policies, which he believes favor the rich and neglect the poor. He criticized the budget for not providing substantial relief for the unemployed and for failing to tackle issues like land expropriation without compensation, which the EFF has long advocated for. Malema's comments underscore his party's commitment to radical economic transformation and their opposition to what they perceive as neoliberal economic policies.
