EFF PRESS STATEMENT FOLLOWING 13TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS AND MANIFESTO LAUNCH IN THOHOYANDOU, LIMPOPO

Thursday, 30 July 2026.

The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) takes this opportunity to reflect on the highly successful celebration of the organisation’s 13th anniversary and the launch of the 2026 Local Government Elections Manifesto at Thohoyandou Stadium in Limpopo on the 25th of July 2026.

The occasion was a demonstration of the continued strength, growth and political relevance of the EFF. The thousands of Fighters and members of the public came to affirm a shared commitment to the struggle for economic freedom, and to receive a programme for the transformation of local government.

Thohoyandou was therefore both a celebration and a declaration of intent: Victory or Death.

For thirteen years, the EFF has built itself as an organisation rooted in the daily struggles of ordinary people. We have confronted the political establishment inside Parliament, legislatures, and municipal councils, and we have consistently placed the interests of workers, the unemployed, young people, women, and the poor at the centre of our political programme. The 2026 Local Government Elections Manifesto is the product of that experience. It is a document of the conditions confronting our people and is informed by a decade of experience in local government and by the lessons learnt from communities across South Africa.

The message from Thohoyandou is that South Africa cannot continue with municipalities that exist on paper but fail in practice. Our people live with water shortages, unreliable electricity, sewage spills, uncollected refuse, unsafe roads, unemployment and collapsing infrastructure while municipal resources are wasted through corruption, outsourcing, and political patronage.

The EFF is, therefore, offering a fundamentally different model in our 2026 manifesto. We are saying that municipalities must belong to the people and must become instruments of development, dignity, and economic emancipation.

When we speak of land reform at local government level, we are speaking about municipalities using their powers to make abandoned land and buildings available for young people to engage in agriculture and other productive activities. We are speaking about ending the sale of municipally owned land and making such land available for redistribution to Black communities.

When we speak about dignity, we are speaking about the basic services that millions of people are still denied. An EFF people’s municipality will guarantee reliable and affordable basic services and ensure that qualifying poor households receive free water, electricity, sanitation, and refuse removal, including those living in informal settlements, backyard dwellings, and rural communities. However, the crisis does not affect only the poorest households. Working-class and middle-income families are also being crushed by the rising cost of living. This is why EFF municipalities will introduce targeted support for households facing financial difficulties and provide relief through adjusted tariffs, subsidies, affordable payment arrangements, and debt-relief programmes.

At the same time, we must end the culture of municipalities outsourcing their basic responsibilities to politically connected companies. The EFF will rebuild internal municipal capacity by directly employing workers and ensuring that municipalities have qualified engineers, planners, artisans, financial managers, and other professionals capable of delivering services themselves.

This approach is also central to how we intend to address unemployment.

We will insource core municipal functions such as security, cleaning, waste collection, and maintenance to create permanent jobs. At the same time, municipal procurement must be used to build local economies, which is why we have committed to directing a minimum of 80% of municipal procurement towards local SMMEs, cooperatives, and township enterprises involved in manufacturing-related economic activity.

EFF municipalities will build and upgrade sports facilities, libraries, parks, and community facilities, while deliberately preserving and promoting African history, culture, and heritage through museums, memorials, public art, and monuments that honour African and anti-colonial leaders. We are equally clear that local government must play a meaningful role in advancing gender equality and protecting women and vulnerable communities. EFF municipalities will enforce a minimum 50% representation of women across municipal leadership, management, employment, procurement, and economic development programmes.

Healthcare must be brought closer to the people. Our municipalities must expand access to comprehensive primary healthcare, including maternal healthcare, HIV/Aids care, mental healthcare, and psychosocial support. Mobile health units and community health workers must reach rural, peri-urban, and other communities that remain underserved by the existing healthcare system.

The same principle applies to electricity. Electricity is a developmental public good, not a commodity whose primary purpose is to generate profit. We will end unnecessary charges associated with prepaid electricity and restore municipal control over electricity billing and distribution.

We will also establish dedicated rapid-response technical teams capable of responding to electricity faults, outages, transformer failures, and infrastructure breakdowns within a maximum emergency response time of one hour.

Additionally, we cannot speak about economic freedom while our municipalities remain centres of consumption instead of production.

The EFF will drive localised industrialisation so that municipalities become centres of production, employment, and economic activity. We will establish township and rural industrial parks focused on manufacturing, agro-processing, construction materials, repair services, and other productive sectors.

Our human settlements programme will implement time-bound plans to address housing backlogs, with transparent waiting lists and clear annual targets. Where the construction of permanent houses cannot happen immediately, municipalities will provide serviced sites as an immediate intervention while longer-term housing solutions are pursued.

For coastal communities, the ocean must become a source of economic empowerment rather than an asset from which local people are excluded. The EFF will develop municipal marine-economy frameworks that maximise benefits for local communities and establish community-owned aquaculture projects that create sustainable employment, particularly for young people.

Water is a basic human necessity, and there can be no dignity without reliable access to it. Our municipalities will ensure that every household has clean, safe, and reliable running water. We will also establish dedicated municipal plumbing teams and commit to fixing reported water leaks within one day, because water cannot continue to be lost through poor maintenance while communities remain without supply.

The same urgency applies to sanitation. The continued existence of bucket toilets and unsafe pit toilets is an indictment of the democratic state. EFF municipalities will eradicate these forms of undignified sanitation and establish rapid-response teams to deal with sewer blockages, leaks, spillages and other sanitation failures. Our communities must also be clean and healthy. The EFF will ensure reliable waste collection and take decisive action against illegal dumping. We will bring waste collection and management functions back into municipal capacity while integrating waste pickers, cooperatives and recycling businesses into formal municipal systems so that environmental cleanliness can simultaneously become a source of sustainable economic opportunity.

A people’s municipality must also be a safe municipality. We will strengthen municipal law enforcement through improved staffing, training and resources, and establish integrated crime-prevention strategies in partnership with communities and law-enforcement agencies.

Our young people must be at the centre of this transformation. The EFF will ensure that at least 40% of municipal employment opportunities are allocated to young people between 18 and 35 years old, while at least 50% of municipal procurement opportunities will be directed towards youth-owned businesses and cooperatives.

We will also rebuild the infrastructure upon which communities and local economies depend. Municipal roads must be maintained and made safe, particularly those serving schools, clinics, cemeteries and economic centres. We will expand reliable and affordable public transport, especially in under-serviced townships and rural communities.

We know that South Africans have heard enough promises. What our people need now is a political organisation with the courage, discipline, and organisational capacity to implement what it says. I want to use this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation to the ground forces of the Economic Freedom Fighters. I particularly commend our branches for the manner in which they have conducted the Branch People’s Assemblies to nominate candidates for deployment in local government.

The Branch People’s Assemblies are an important expression of internal democracy. They are an opportunity for members to debate, nominate, and make decisions about the people they believe can best carry the responsibility of representing the EFF and its voters in municipalities.

We are encouraged that these processes have been conducted peacefully and without bloodshed. This is an important achievement for the organisation as political competition must never become an excuse for comrades to turn against one another. We can disagree politically without destroying the organisation we have collectively built. To those that have not yet completed the process, we encourage you to do so without unnecessary delays.

As we reflect on the success of our 13th anniversary and the launch of our Local Government Elections Manifesto, we cannot ignore the worsening conditions under which the majority of South Africans are living.

The cost of living continues to place enormous pressure on working-class households, and we are witnessing a decline in middle class households. The price of food, electricity, fuel, transport, and other basic necessities continues to eat away at the income of ordinary people. South Africans are working harder and taking home less in real terms, while the state continues to impose additional costs on households that are already struggling to survive. The recent inflation figures confirm what our people already know from their shopping baskets. Consumer inflation reached 5% in June 2026 up from 4,5% in May, with transport and fuel costs among the major drivers of the increase.

The price of fuel does not remain at the petrol station. When fuel becomes more expensive, the cost of transporting food increases, the cost of commuting to work increases, the cost of producing goods increases, and ultimately the price of almost everything rises.

Electricity has become another mechanism through which our people are being punished. South Africans are expected to pay more for electricity while receiving an unreliable and increasingly unaffordable service. This is precisely why the EFF has made it clear that electricity must be treated as a developmental public good and not as a profit-making function.

The EFF reaffirms its position on the Phala Phala matter l, which is that there must be oversight in the face of the continued attempts by President Cyril Ramaphosa to avoid accountability.

The EFF has never accepted that the President of the Republic must be treated differently from any other citizen when serious questions arise concerning the hiding of large amounts of foreign currency and the illegal circumstances surrounding the theft at his farm. The Constitutional Court, in the judgment concerning the EFF challenge relating to the Section 89 vote on Phala Phala, dealt with the constitutional framework surrounding the parliamentary process.

The EFF therefore regards the recent decision of the Western Cape High Court as deeply concerning. The majority of the full bench granted President Ramaphosa an interim interdict preventing Parliament’s Section 89 Impeachment Committee from proceeding with public hearings pending the determination of his review application. One of the three judges, Judge Francis, rightly dissented and found that Ramaphosa had no sufficient basis for the interdict.

Our concern goes beyond the fact that the judiciary has ruled against the EFF. Our concern is that the judgment potentially establishes a dangerous principle whereby a court can interrupt a parliamentary accountability process that flows from constitutional proceedings, before Parliament has completed its own work.

The EFF’s position is that the majority judgment does not adequately explain the High Court’s jurisdiction to interdict a process flowing directly from the Constitutional Court’s order. It also does not sufficiently demonstrate the imminent and irreparable harm that President Ramaphosa would suffer if Parliament were allowed to perform its constitutional responsibility.

If the Executive can approach a court and suspend parliamentary accountability simply because the President does not want to face an impeachment inquiry, we must ask what happens to the principle of separation of powers and the constitutional authority of Parliament. We are equally concerned about National Treasury’s decision to withhold the July 2026 equitable-share transfers from municipalities. National Treasury temporarily withheld transfers from 69 municipalities, citing persistent non-compliance with financial legislation and failures relating to the management of public funds. Treasury has subsequently announced the release of the remaining July transfers to 49 of the affected municipalities.

The EFF does not support corruption, financial misconduct, or the reckless management of public money. However, Treasury cannot use the people of a municipality as collateral damage in a fight with incompetent municipal administrations. When Treasury withholds equitable-share funds, the consequences fall on the grandmother who needs water, the child who needs sanitation, the unemployed person who depends on municipal services, and the community that already lives under conditions of deprivation

Instead, government must intervene directly, recover stolen and wasted funds, remove corrupt officials, strengthen municipal administrations, and ensure that the money reaches the services for which it is intended.

This brings us directly to the EFF’s longstanding criticism of the current equitable- share model. The present model is fundamentally inadequate because it does not sufficiently account for the enormous responsibilities placed on municipalities, particularly municipalities serving poor, rural, and historically disadvantaged communities.

Municipalities are expected to provide water, electricity, sanitation, refuse removal, roads, housing support, public facilities and other services while many have an extremely limited revenue base. This creates a structural mismatch between what municipalities are expected to do and the resources available to them.

Even National Treasury has acknowledged that the mismatch between municipal revenue authority and expenditure responsibilities is a serious concern. The EFF has therefore consistently argued that the local sphere of government must receive a substantially greater share of nationally raised revenue.

We are not saying we must give municipalities money without accountability, we are simply recognising that you cannot demand first-class service delivery from municipalities while financing them as though their constitutional responsibilities are secondary.

The EFF continues to observe the ongoing proceedings at the Judicial Commission of Inquiry into Criminality, Political Interference and Corruption in the Criminal Justice System, commonly referred to as the Madlanga Commission.

As an organisation, we remain in support of all efforts to uncover the rot in our criminal justice system, as has been demonstrated in the Ad Hoc Committee to investigate allegations made by Lt. General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, wherein our participation enhanced the work of the legislature to expose and hold accountable those who have corrupted justice.

We reiterate the call for all preliminary findings and interim reports by the Madlanga Commission to be made public and accessible, as those reports do not belong to the President of the Republic, but belong to the people of South Africa. To handle preliminary findings and reports with secrecy, undermines the constitutional principle of transparency, and risks selective and politically motivated conduct as it relates to prosecutions and arrests related to the work of the commission.

The EFF calls on all South Africans to resist the urge to succumb to juvenile and politically motivated insinuations drawn from the work of the commission, which are not rooted in any evidence or fact. Despite all attempts to casts doubt over the organization and its leadership, there has been no evidence that ties the EFF to any wrongdoing, and this is a fact we remain proud of.

We encourage the commission and its evidence leaders to rely on evidence and drawn from verifiable and credible process of the law and legal institutions. Tabloid journalism, and speculation by media outlets who have proven vendettas, do not constitute evidence, and the use of news articles as evidence by such a credible commission, only serves to undermine the credibility of the process and turn the Commission itself into a weapon of propaganda.

The EFF takes this opportunity to reaffirm its position on the international developments that demonstrate the continued use of economic and political power by dominant countries to discipline nations that refuse to submit to their interests.

We have seen the United States government recently threaten to cut off trade with Spain because of political disagreements over NATO spending and Spain’s position on the use of its military bases in relation to the war against Iran.

The EFF condemns this kind of economic bullying. It demonstrates the danger of a world order in which powerful states believe that they can use their economic dominance to punish other countries for exercising an independent foreign policy. No country should be forced to surrender its sovereignty or foreign-policy choices because it fears economic retaliation from a more powerful state. This is precisely why South Africa must continue to pursue an independent foreign policy based on solidarity with oppressed peoples, respect for international law and the sovereignty of nations, rather than allowing our foreign policy to be dictated by Washington, London, or any other external power.

South Africa must also continue to stand firmly with the people of Palestine. The EFF reaffirms its call for Benjamin Netanyahu to be arrested and brought before the International Criminal Court (ICC) in accordance with the arrest warrant issued against him in 2024.

We reject the hypocrisy whereby international law is aggressively invoked against leaders of third world countries while those accused of grave crimes against Palestinians are protected by powerful governments.

The position taken by New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani is significant in this regard. Mamdani has publicly stated that Benjamin Netanyahu should be arrested and tried for crimes alleged by the ICC.

Having examined the legal position, Mamdani has acknowledged that New York City does not independently possess the authority to execute the ICC warrant, but he has called upon the United States federal government to enforce the warrant. The EFF welcomes this position and says that it must now go further. If Netanyahu proceeds with his planned appearance at the United Nations General Assembly in New York in September, the international community must not normalise his presence as though nothing has happened in Gaza. Netanyahu should not be afforded the legitimacy that comes with addressing the United Nations while an outstanding ICC arrest warrant remains in force.

We therefore call on South Africa and all countries committed to international law and the rights of the Palestinian people to boycott Netanyahu’s address to the United Nations General Assembly.

South Africa must not sit in the hall and provide an audience to a leader who faces an ICC arrest warrant. We should not shake his hand, pose for photographs with him, or participate in diplomatic theatre that sanitises the devastation inflicted upon the Palestinian people. The EFF further calls on other governments and delegations to follow this example

The United States government has been allowed to get away with kidnapping the democratically elected President of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, in his own country and is currently holding him captive with no clear international case against him besides wanting to gain control of Venezuela’s oil supply.

Yet, Netanyahu is allowed to freely enter any country he wants and address the United Nations.This state of our international political landscape is backward and hypocritical.

The Palestinian people continue to endure unimaginable suffering, and the international community cannot continue to respond with statements of concern while maintaining normal diplomatic and political relations with those responsible for policies and actions that have resulted in mass civilian suffering.

We call on all Fighters, supporters, and structures of the EFF to give full support to all our Mayoral candidates who were announced at the Thohoyandou rally. These candidates represent the breadth of the organisation and the kind of leadership we believe must take responsibility for transforming municipalities. They bring different forms of experience, professional and political knowledge, organisational experience, youth leadership, and women’s leadership.

This diversity is important because we have always insisted that our leaders must have the skills, experience, discipline, and political commitment to govern.

The EFF’s proposed mayoral candidates for all metros are as follows:

# PROVINCE MUNICIPALITY PROPOSED MAYOR 1. EASTERN BUFFALO CITY METRO MKHULULI DLEVU CAPE 2. EASTERN NELSON MANDELA METRO SINAWO THAMBO CAPE 3. EASTERN KING SABATA DALINDYEBO NCEDO KOLANISI CAPE 4.

WESTERN CAPE METRO NATIONAL CHAIRPERSON CAPE NONTANDO NOLUTSHUNGU

Additionally, we take this opportunity to announce mayoral candidates for the various other municipalities in each province. The names will be publicly available in the final released press statement.

We express our full support and faith in all of our candidates to deliver victory in the 2026 Local Government Elections on the 4th of November.

Every candidate must remember the oath that accompanies EFF deployment. The declaration they undertook requires the candidate to serve the people of South Africa with discipline, honesty, integrity and revolutionary commitment. It makes clear that deployment is not a right or employment, but a responsibility and organisational mandate, and that an EFF councillor must remain loyal to their community and the people of South Africa and make themselves available to serve their community.

This is the standard we expect from every person who wears the red beret into a municipality. No Mayor will be deployed to accumulate wealth, demand tenders, employ family members, abuse municipal resources, or become part of the same corrupt political establishment we have spent thirteen years fighting.

We are now entering another decisive phase of the 2026 Local Government Elections campaign, and the EFF calls on every eligible South African who is not registered to vote, and every voter who has changed their residential address, to use the final voter registration weekend on the 1st and 2nd of August 2026 to register or update their details. We must, therefore, not wait until election day to discover that our names are not on the voters’ roll or that our registration details are incorrect.

I call upon every Fighter to take responsibility for at least one other person. Go to your family members, your neighbours, your friends, your colleagues and the people in your communities. Ask them whether they are registered and help those who have not registered to do so.

Our people must understand that registration is the first step towards using the vote to change the conditions under which they live. If you are angry about the price of food, electricity and fuel, register. If you are angry about unemployment, register. If you are tired of sewage in your streets, unsafe roads, water shortages, and corruption in municipalities, register. If you want functioning people’s municipalities, register, and Register to Vote EFF.

Victory or Death, I thank you.
