Johannesburg- It will be a busy weekend in the South African political industry as the Economic Freedom Fighters will be celebrating a Siyabonga (thank you) rally on 8 January.
9 years later, the party has come to acknowledge its growth and is thanking its voters as they have put it in a good place politically.
The celebration will be hosted in Durban, People’s Park following a year of local government elections in 2021, where the EFF garnered 150 seats and 8.64% of the vote in the province, up from 59 seats and 3.46% in the 2016 election.
In a statement the party stated that it will slaughter four cows for the Siyabonga rally, to thank the KwaZulu-Natal voters for their continued faith in the party which has led the EFF to great growth, especially in the 2021 elections.
The slaughtering of the cows will take place today at Ohlange sports ground in Inanda.

Malema formed the EFF when he was 32 years old? The party has grown to be the 3rd largest party in SA, surpassing parties that were there long before the EFF was formed. That's excellence mos.

The one thing I'm not mad about in SA politics is the existence of the EFF. We don't have to agree on everything they say or do to acknowledge that the EFF has made many shifts in our political imagination possible. https://t.co/l4DsgcpqC7
