The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) second elective conference, the National People’s Assembly, is taking place at Nasrec, Johannesburg, from Friday 13 December to Monday 16 December 2019.

More than 4 000 delegates are expected to discuss policy issues and most importantly, elect the party’s new leadership.

The EFF was founded by expelled former African National Congress Youth League (ANCYL) president Julius Malema in 2013, and is currently the third-largest party in both houses of the South African Parliament.

At a press briefing in Soweto on 26 July 2013, Malema announced the new party had more than 1000 members, double the 500 required for registration with the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC).
