Symbol of a good idea turns sour
The Citizen|December 14, 2024
The EFF is having its national people's assembly elective conference this weekend, with perhaps the most pressing issue being the future of the party.
KYLE ZEEMAN

The red berets will reflect on the last few years and see many challenges. It will also celebrate much success, including staying alive and relevant.

The EFF is a party for everyone; its range of MPs in parliament shows this. But fervent campaigning and advocacy at universities and in townships highlight where they believe they are most appreciated.

They fought tooth and nail so university students could vote before polls closed in May's elections and have been at the forefront of community protests in townships for years.

But it has sadly become a symbol of a good idea turned sour.

It turned when the youth stopped caring about politics.

No time for MK to enjoy honeymoon

It is not good enough for supporters to chant and sing \"Baba\" to the MK party's leader. People are mortals who don't live forever. Blacks are frazzled after 30 years of wandering in the wilderness left by the liberation-era political party, the ANC. The destination is still far away.
