Injeje, EFF meet on ‘Indian dominance’

- LUNGANI ZUNGU

THE anti-indian lobby group, Injeje yamanguni, is to meet the EFF over the direction they will take in fighting what they call “Indian dominance” in Kwazulu-natal.

EFF leader Julius Malema caused a stir when, during his party’s fourth anniversar­y celebratio­ns in Durban last week, he said some Indians in the province were ill-treating their black employees and were also monopolisi­ng the province’s economy.

In response, the leader of Injeje, Phumlani Mfeka, said Malema’s comments about Indians were true.

Mfeka said Indians were dominating the province’s economy and this had to stop.

He said his organisati­on was planning a mass demonstrat­ion when he appears in the Durban’s Equality Court on September 22 for calling Mahatma Gandhi a racist.

Mfeka, who has been in and out of court for his antiindian sentiments, said he would not retreat because Indians were ill-treating their African counterpar­ts.

He said patience was running thin with the provincial government which“remained silent while black people were being treated badly”.

“Africans are still suffering at the hands of our Indian counterpar­ts,” he said.

“Government is not intervenin­g because some of them are in the pockets of Indian business people.

“From now on, we are going to expose them.”
