EFF leader Julius Malema braved the rainy and cold weather on Wednesday to lead hundreds of party members in a march for jobs to Kumba Iron Ore mine in Northern Cape.
This after Malema said people do not want the government’s R350 unemployment grant, but rather jobs that pay well.
At the Youth Day rally at Makwarela Stadium in Thohoyandou, Limpopo last week Malema said the red berets needed the youth to be activists.
“The people who led the struggle were not elite, they were on the ground with our people. The current unemployment crisis has the greatest impact on young people. Many young people in South Africa go without employment or a source of income for more than a year,” he said.
