Zuma Urges MK–EFF Unity at Malema Home During Condolence Visit

Zuma cast cooperation with the EFF as the path to "total liberation" for black South Africans.

Overview

  • The uMkhonto weSizwe Party leader visited Julius Malema’s family in Seshego, Polokwane, to pay respects after the death of Malema’s aunt, Martha Malema.
  • He called for MK and the EFF to “come together” despite differing organisations or views, saying separation “by the whites” should not continue.
  • He argued that freedom for the black majority exists only on paper and warned of ongoing oppression without unity.
  • Supporters from both parties greeted him with cheering and joint struggle songs, with the EFF sharing video of the gathering.
  • Malema, in mourning, did not address the crowd but thanked Zuma and expressed agreement with his message.
