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.

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?

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.
