Honour Nelson Mandela by removing the ANC, says Mpumalanga EFF

In honouring Nelson Mandela’s legacy, the Mpumalanga EFF has called on all citizenry to do to the ANC-led government what it did to the apartheid government.

The provincial party leader, Collen Sedibe, said the best way to honour the former state president and father of the nation, Mandela, and what he stood for, is by removing the ANC in power.

On Monday, as the country and the rest of the world observed International Mandela Day, Sedibe argued that the government has failed to live up to Mandela’s principles and beliefs.

“Above everything else, the government has failed the people of this country by not delivering basic services.
The majority of our people are still without employment and live in abject poverty. Inequality is still very rife. Corruption in state organs is the order of the day. The land and economy still belong to the minority and settlers. All of these things would make Mandela cry and his spirit unpeaceful,” said Sedibe.

“I am happy that it was Mandela himself who told us these words, ‘If the ANC does to you what the apartheid government did to you, then you must do to the ANC what you did to the apartheid government’.

We have seen and witnessed what the ANC government has been doing to our people and I want to make a clarion call to all to stand up against this government and remove them from power. It is time we do to this government what we did to the apartheid government, and we must not postpone it any further, as we would be subjecting our people to more inequalities, lack of employment and economic opportunities, poverty, landlessness and suffering.”

He also pointed out Eskom and load-shedding as the ANC’s biggest failures.
