Economic Freedom Fighters to host provincial manifesto rally

Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) Commander in Chief Julius Malema is expected to address party members at the provincial manifesto rally scheduled for Saturday at Lehlaba Sport Grounds, River Cross village in Sekhukhune area. This follows the party’s national elections manifesto launch that was held in Soshanguve, Gauteng in February.
The party’s national declaration was that the EFF government would use science, technology and innovation not as ends in themselves but to produce the knowledge, information, skills and talent needed to support, facilitate and fuel the development and growth of strategic industries and sectors of the economy and society which are central to the overall independence and sovereignty of South African and African people.
The manifesto focused more on the creation of jobs and one of the highlights include the fact that the EFF government would establish a new research and development centre by 2022, focusing on new uses for minerals and mineral beneficiation, new methods of mining, and safer methods of mining, creating 10 000 jobs, 5 000 of which will be reserved for women and the youth.
