EFF supporters protest: A looming looting

In the unfortunate event after Honourable Julius Malema was sentenced to a direct imprisonment of five years and handed a fine of R60,000. He was sentenced in the East London Magistrate’s Court on 16 April 2026 after he was convicted on five charges related to the Firearms Control Act (Act 60 of 2000).

Men and women glad in EFF colours flooded the streets of Braamfontein with their eyes red in grievances of loosing their commander in chief. They were seen chanting struggle songs at the top of their voices. Some with Zulu rods, some with sticks, some with placards and some crying. 

"Close, the shops!" One EFF supporter shouted at shop owners in Braamfontein (Simmonds/De Korte Street).

Things will never be the same for ANC, so many says when; Nelson Mandela was sentenced but ironically it turned the rainbow country to a better one. 

Today, is Julius Malema's turn and they say again; "things will never be the same for EFF!" Whatever happens afterwards will be recorded in the book of history for the political party of Malema (EFF), or the whole country's political landscape.

One thing for sure, the journey to financial emancipation of Black South Africans has just started, as Julius Malema, rambles to prison for other black people of the country to gain access to the financial pool that some privilege-few have sole-proprietorship to.

B-BBEE (Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment), and land expropriator bill are interjects that the modern ANC introduced to checkmate the privilege-few but the role of EFF in financial emancipation of South Africans will not be forgotten through Julius' outspokenness, threats, forfeiture of assets by the State through SARS, just to mention a few.

Is it right to say, the Afriforum's Ernst van Zyl, delivered Julius' head to the bully American President in Washington DC; who once asked for Malema to be whisked to jail?

Malema sentencing: Experts warn outcome could shape EFF’s political future

Political experts have weighed in as Julius Malema appears in the East London Magistrate's Court on Thursday for sentencing in his firearm discharge case.

They told IOL that the outcome could have major consequences for both his political future and the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF).

"The evidence demonstrated that he made use of a firearm that he did not possess a licence to use, and discharged that firearm in a public space, potentially endangering people around him. However, no one was injured or killed as a result of his actions," said crime expert Guy Lamb.

The world's richest man and business magnate, Elon Musk, who was born in South Africa, continues to target and criticise the country’s transformative policies, particularly the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE), which he has labelled as “extremely racist”.

The world's richest man and business magnate, Elon Musk, who was born in South Africa, continues to target and criticise the country’s transformative policies, particularly the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE), which he has labelled as “extremely racist”. This is after he alleged that his satellite internet service, Starlink, was denied a licence to operate in South Africa because he is not Black, even though he was born in the country.

He described the regulations as “extremely racist” and a “shameful disgrace” to Nelson Mandela’s legacy, calling for sanctions to be imposed on politicians who are protecting the BBBEE laws.

South Africa Endorses The Global Declaration To Triple Nuclear Energy Capacity by 2050

South Africa’s decision to endorse the global declaration to triple nuclear energy capacity by 2050 marks an important milestone for both our national energy strategy and the global transition to clean, reliable power. At a time when countries are searching for credible pathways to balance energy security, economic growth, and climate responsibility, nuclear energy is once again emerging as a critical part of the solution.

Our endorsement sends a clear signal: South Africa is committed to building a resilient and diversified energy mix that supports industrialisation, reduces greenhouse-gas emissions, and ensures stable electricity supply for future generations. More than 30 countries across Europe, Asia, the Americas, the Middle East and Africa have already joined this declaration, reflecting growing global consensus that nuclear energy will play a central role in meeting climate commitments while maintaining reliable baseload power.

For South Africa, nuclear energy is not a new concept. The country has decades of experience in the field, anchored by the Koeberg Nuclear Power Station, which currently produces about 1 800 MW of electricity. Recent licence extensions allow both units at Koeberg to operate into the mid-2040s, ensuring that nuclear power remains a dependable component of the national grid for many years to come.
