All the articles below are hand‑picked to give you a clear picture of what the party is doing right now.
What is the EFF?
The Economic Freedom Fighters sprang to life in 2013, led by Julius Malema after his exit from the ANC Youth League. The party’s core message is simple: land reform, nationalisation of key industries and a wealth‑redistribution agenda that aims to close the gap between rich and poor. Their red berets, fiery speeches and street‑level activism have made them a fixture in South African politics. Over the past decade they’ve gone from a fringe movement to the third‑largest party in Parliament, shaping debates on everything from mining royalties to gender‑based violence.
Latest EFF Headlines
Right now the EFF is in the news for three big reasons. First, they’ve lodged a motion in Parliament demanding an immediate review of the land expropriation bill, arguing the current draft doesn’t go far enough to address historic injustices. Second, Malema’s recent rally in Johannesburg drew thousands, sparking both applause from supporters and criticism from opposition leaders over the party’s confrontational tone. Finally, a new policy brief released by the EFF’s economic team proposes the nationalisation of South Africa’s major mining firms within the next five years, a plan that’s already triggering heated discussions among investors and the government.
These stories are just the tip of the iceberg. Our journalists break down the party’s statements, track court cases involving EFF leaders, and explain how the party’s proposals could affect everyday South Africans. If you’re wondering how a land‑reform bill might change property values in your town, or what nationalising the mines could mean for job security, you’ll find plain‑language analysis right here.
