Julius Malema says ANC won’t survive 2024 elections

Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema says he believes the ANC will not survive the next election.

“It won’t survive. They couldn’t run their own conference… it had to sit on two separate weekends which is practical evidence of a serious crisis.

“So no miracle is going to happen between now and 2024 for the ANC to gain any support in Gauteng,” Malema said during an interview – which premiered on Monday – with podcast host MacG Mukwevho, where they discussed his upbringing, among other topics.

In the 2021 municipal elections the ruling party’s national support dipped below 50% for the first time since the dawn of democracy.

The EFF leader said he believed that South African politicians were corrupt because “they are being corrupted by white people”.

“The question we need to ask is why do we only see people in government [being] exposed and arrested?

“What is happening in the private sector? Because it is both the public and private sector that are corrupting each other,” he said.

SOEs

He also commented on the state of South Africa’s infrastructure and government-owned institutions, adding that SOEs such as South African Airways (SAA) should be subsidized.

“Why is there no fast train between here and Musina? We found Transnet working, transporting tons and tons of minerals.

“We have collapsed Transnet – as a result, there are too many trucks on the road and too many trucks on the roads means death because many of them are not in good condition. Let’s go and fix Transnet. Infrastructure is collapsing right on our face,” the EFF leader added.
