EFF leader Julius Malema ’s speech at Winnie Madikizela Mandela’s funeral is sampled in the song titled Signal.

During his speech at the funeral, Malema at several points throughout the speech asked Madikizela-Mandela for a signal on what to do about the issues Malema found pressing and the people who “betrayed” her, and punctuated his speech by calling out to the struggle stalwart as “mama”.

Duma sings in IsiZulu, asking that “mama” should be told that land, work, and education is what they want.

Don't Forget Tomorrow.

In January this year, Duma denied her support for the EFF after posting an image of herself wearing a doek featuring the party’s branding.

In an interview with Isolezwe, Duma said there was no political party she would openly say she supported.
