MPUMALANGA - Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema has called on party members to uphold a clean election campaign, steering clear of violence and insults.

His statement follows a recent viral video showing EFF councillors in eThekwini involved in a physical altercation with council security guards.

Zero tolerance for violence

Malema emphasised that EFF members should conduct themselves as a government in waiting during the Ground Forces Forum event in Mpumalanga, reported EWN.

He urged them not to engage in violent language or insult candidates from other political parties during the elections in 2024.

He stressed the importance of presenting the EFF as a party with principles and a commitment to a fair and transparent electoral process.

No sabotage and poster removal

In addition to the call for a clean campaign, Malema cautioned party members against acts of sabotage. He instructed them not to engage in the removal of posters belonging to other political parties.
