EFF Leader Julius Malema says people of Northern Cape must benefit from mining

Leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) Julius Malema says under his leadership, he will ensure that people of Northern Cape benefit from all the minerals that are produced in that province.

Malema was addressing supporters in Postmansburg on Sunday. He says it is unacceptable that people in the province continue to suffer while there are mines.

Malema says it is unacceptable that the inhabitants of Northern Cape are living in poverty while the province is rich in minerals.

He adds, “We need a government that is going to say no iron ore or manganese is going to leave Tsantsabane. We want you to benefit here because, when you benefit here then they create jobs. You must know that when all these minerals leave it is finished goods.
