Shivambu, the Deputy President of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), has announced that the party will be aiming to secure an outright majority in the upcoming local government elections in 2022. This bold declaration was made during a recent press conference held by the EFF, where Shivambu outlined the party’s plans and strategies for the upcoming elections.
In his address, Shivambu emphasized the importance of local government and its impact on the daily lives of citizens. He stated that the EFF is determined to bring about real change and transformation at the local level, where it matters the most. The party believes that by securing an outright majority, they will be able to implement their policies and programs effectively and efficiently, without any hindrance from other parties.
Shivambu also took the opportunity to highlight the failures and shortcomings of the current local government structures, which he believes have failed to address the needs and concerns of the people. He mentioned issues such as poor service delivery, corruption, and lack of accountability as major problems that have plagued local government for far too long. He further stated that the EFF is ready to take on the responsibility of governing and bringing about positive change in these communities.
The EFF’s plan to secure an outright majority in the local government elections is not just a mere aspiration; it is a well-thought-out strategy. Shivambu explained that the party has been working tirelessly to expand its reach and increase its support base in various municipalities across the country. He also mentioned that the party has been actively engaging with communities, listening to their concerns, and incorporating their feedback into their policies and plans.
One of the key factors that Shivambu believes will contribute to the EFF’s success in the local government elections is the party’s commitment to grassroots mobilization. He stated that the EFF has a strong presence in communities and has been actively involved in addressing the needs of the people. This has garnered support and trust from the citizens, who see the EFF as a party that truly cares about their well-being.
Moreover, the EFF has been gaining momentum and support over the years, evident in their performance in the previous local government elections. In 2016, the party secured 8% of the national vote, and in the 2019 national elections, they received over 10% of the vote. This upward trend in support is a testament to the EFF’s growing popularity and credibility as a political force.
Shivambu also highlighted the EFF’s progressive policies, which he believes will resonate with the people and ultimately lead to their victory in the local government elections. The party’s policies, such as land expropriation without compensation, free education, and nationalization of key industries, have gained widespread support from the public, especially the youth.
In conclusion, Shivambu’s announcement has sparked excitement and hope among EFF supporters and the general public. The party’s determination and commitment to securing an outright majority in the local government elections are commendable and reflect their strong belief in bringing about meaningful change in the lives of South Africans. With their grassroots mobilization, growing support base, and progressive policies, the EFF is poised to make a significant impact in the upcoming local government elections.
