Riyaz Patel

EFF president Julius Malema delivered a marathon 3-hour report on issues ranging from the state of the economy, GBV, government failures and organisational shortcomings as the party’s second elective national congress got underway at Nasrec, Johannesburg.

Ahead of the conference, the EFF barred certain media titles from its second National People’s Assembly.

The South African National Editors’ Forum (SANEF) had called on the EFF to ungag media banned from its elective conference.

Banning media organisations will deprive ordinary citizens of relevant information that could assist them in making informed choices on how to vote. Therefore, the real victims of this ban are the voters and citizens. https://t.co/mMsYGXCXiW

“No journalists that have been stopped from covering the conference, what we are doing is stopping people who have a political interest… who have expressed their political interest,” the EFF’s Dali Mpofu responded.
