Julius Malema has retained his position as commander-in-chief of the Economic Freedom Fighters and will lead the party for the next five years, at least.
Malema, who founded the party in 2013 after his expulsion from the ANC, was elected unopposed to the position late Saturday night.

Marshall Dlamini was elected EFF Secretary
