EFF rhetoric can backfire

WHEN EFF leader Julius Malema speaks at rallies and in Parliament against Indians and whites, it is obvious this fiery leader carries a huge chip on his shoulder against these race groups.

I recall a little while ago, the EFF’s Floyd Shivambu requested in Parliament that Treasury official Ismail Momoniat should be removed because he was “un-African”.

In the latest rant, the EFF has requested the public protector investigate Minister Pravin Gordhan for his meeting with the Guptas.

This is probably because Minister Gordhan is Indian, although he is doing a sterling job to rescue the economy from the disaster of state capture and corruption.

It does not occur to the EFF that it was Minister Gordhan who told South Africans to “join the dots” to reveal the state capturers and corruptors.

I guess the Zondo Commission will soon wrap up its investigations and those involved in state capture will be brought to book.

Hopefully the money looted will also be recovered.

Here in KZN we have King Goodwill Zwelithini and Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi promoting social cohesion between the blacks and Indians, which on the other hand the EFF wants to disrupt.

It is perceived that the EFF has a strategy of creating anarchy by misleading gullible South Africans, especially the youth, with false rhetoric and promises to garner votes for the forthcoming elections.

This could backfire to the party’s detriment. VIJAY SEWTAHAL Clare Estate
