THE newly-formed South African political
party, the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), on Tuesday called on Zimbabweans to
vote for Zanu PF in Wednesday's general elections to protect the gains of the
war of liberation. The EFF party is led by former ANC youth league leader
Julius Malema.
“The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) calls
upon the revolutionary people of Zimbabwe to defend the Zimbabwean revolution
by voting for Zanu-PF and retaining Comrade Robert Mugabe as the President of
that liberated nation,” the party said in a statement.
“The gains of the Zimbabwean revolution
must be defended. These gains find concrete expression in the historic and
unparalleled land redistribution programme that took land from 4,000 white
settler farmers who owned 80 percent of Zimbabwean land, and redistributed it
to more than 274,000 Zimbabweans! It is your victory. Defend it by any means
necessary!”
The EFF saluted Zimbabweans for enduring and surviving
sanctions imposed by the West.
“The people of Zimbabwe have been punished
as a strategy to separate the people from the revolutionary leadership of Zanu
PF and leadership of President Mugabe. We say do not allow the schemes of the
enemies of Africa to succeed. Vote for liberation! Vote Zanu-PF!
“We implore the people of Zimbabwe to realize
that the Zimbabwean revolution is still under massive attacks and new plots are
being hatched and new schemes cooked to reverse the gains you have made. The demonization
of Zanu PF and Comrade Mugabe is part of the plot to divide the nation for
re-colonisation."
The EFF also called on Zanu PF to continue
implementing the indigenization programme in order to complete the economic
emancipation of the black majority. Continued the statement: “We say you have
already suffered enough for your liberation now; defend and deepen it; only
Zanu-PF has demonstrated beyond doubt that it has the foresight, courage and
never-die spirit as warriors for African dignity. We warn the people of
Zimbabwe not to hand over your country to the stooges of the West in the form
of Morgan Tsvangirai and his MDC-T.
“Zimbabwe has its land back. We in South
Africa draw courage and inspiration from your achievements. In South Africa we
remain landless, poor and under attack from racism every single day of our
existence. Our freedom is empty words. We note with joy the indigenization
programme which now extends decolonization of the economy through ownership of
the economy by Zimbabweans.
“We call on the Zimbabwean people to
defend, deepen and fast track the indigenisation programme to complete this
second and most difficult phase of your glorious revolution. You know who your
true leaders are! You know which party can and has stood against Western
arrogance and has emerged victorious. President Robert Mugabe is fighting his
seventh election since 1980 against the two MDC parties led by Prime Minister
Morgan Tsvangirai and Welshman Ncube.
