The Economic Freedom Fighters has complied with the Independent Electoral Commission, and submitted its full list of candidates for parliament and all provincial legislatures.
The list has a gender balance, consistent with the principle of a Zebra approach on a 50/50 percent representation. It also has a geographic spread and age balance.
The list is a result of a rigorous democratic process that included each candidate being subjected to an internal secret ballot, from the CIC Julius Malema to the rest of the fighters. It has continuity and change: meaning it has retained hard working fighters and added young revolutionaries, particularly from the Fees Must Fall Movement.
Thus, it is constituted by a tried and tested collective of fighters who have cut their teeth in the picket lines of the Economic Emancipation Movement.
