Julius Malema: Divisive EFF leader could be kingmaker in South Africa election
Julius Malema, the leader of South African opposition party, the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), waves to supporters at a rally in Dobsonville, Soweto near Johannesburg, South Africa, March 2, 2024.
Malema's pledge to redress persistent racial and economic disparities resonates with his constituents which include tens of thousands of unemployed, disenfranchised urban Black youths and middle class students struggling to afford fees or graduates unable to find decent jobs in a stagnant economy.
EFF has garnered over 10% of votes in past elections
