South Africa: The EFF Marks 25 Years of Nelson Mandela's Release From Prison

press release

The Economic Freedom Fighters marks 25 years anniversary of the release of Nelson Mandela from prison on this day. This day represented great political hope for a better life for many of our people who had suffered exclusion and exploitation under the apartheid regime. It must remind us of the power a government can use to disarm a people of its leaders with the aim of depriving them of political direction, guidance and hope.

This is particularly crucial because 25 years after Mandela walked out of prison, the country faces an even deeper leadership crisis, characterised by directionlessness. The historic need of our times is economic freedom to liberate our people from homelessness, hunger, illiteracy, and lack of basic services such as water, sanitation, healthcare and electricity.
