The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) said as the country marks 30 years of democracy, there is still a lot that needs to be done.
The party said while there are people who still suffer from inequality, unemployment, and poverty, there is no freedom.
On Saturday the country commemorated exactly 30 years of democracy.
It comes just weeks before South Africans take to the polls to elect a new government.
The EFF said on this day 30 years ago, there were hopes that a new democratic government in South Africa will change lives, especially of black people.
But the red berets say this has not been the case in some instances.
The party’s former deputy secretary general, Hlengiwe Mkhaliphi said, “The rate of poverty, unemployment, crime, and lack of services is worse.”
Meanwhile, its KwaZulu-Natal Chairperson, Mongezi Twala, echoed the same sentiments.
“We really can’t celebrate these 30 years and say we are free as South Africans, the natives in particular, we are still under the bondages of slavery.”
The party said that come 29 May, the electorate must vote for a government that will change their lives.
