If you missed yesterday’s EFF press conference…here’s what juju said. On EFF & the berets… 1 “EFF secured offices in 78 De Korte St, provinces also got offices. Will be opened soon, we apologize for late membership cards.” 2 “Lack of membership cards shouldn’t hold members back from doing organizational work.” 3 “EFF manifesto launch will be on 22 February in Mehlareng stadium, Tembisa, Ekhuruleni” 4 “EFF will contest the election to win. But the we noticed playing fields are not level which most likely favors the falling ANC” 5 “EFF will ask the IEC to registration fees to be scrapped, R200 000 nationally and R45 000 for province” 6“IEC funding model for parliamentary seats is unfair. It pays parties to retain seats in parliament.” 7 “2014 elections will be elections of the red beret and all parties will imitate what the EFF does” 8 “Red berets remain our symbol of commitment to struggle for economic freedom and the inspiration is from Hugo Chave, Che, Fidel Castro and Tomas Sankara” 9 “We want 5 million members, each bringing 5 voters who will vote for EFF. ANC didn’t have 300 000 members in 1994” 10 “Only credible way of auditing membership figures is through banked money. Some are still looking for R10 to join. (Media laughs as juju raises his voice) You can laugh, today poor people are using that R10 to buy bread.” 11 “We will deal with this problem of being denied venues, if needs be that we go to court so be it” 12 “Everywhere you go in South Africa you see a red berets, SACP didn’t have red berets.” 13 “Red beret is the symbol of revolution, represents our generation, and will be used by new generation for economic emancipation.” 14 “EFF is the only organization that is denied venues, DA doesn’t have that problem.” 15 “We haven’t secured the stadium for our manifesto launch because metro keeps on telling us that it is double booked” 16 “Permanent battle on getting a venue, we will meet on open field if need be, the revolution is painful” 17 “No voter apathy. This year’s elections would have been boring if EFF wasn’t formed. We will make it exciting. That’s why ANC wears red berets too because they learn from the best.” 18 “We are not analysts, we’re political activists, we know what is going on the ground.” 19 “Right now there is no one left in the ANC with ideas, the legacy of 2009 was bike and the bling. The legacy of 2014 will be the red beret” 20 “Remember DA also had a blue beret, they do that because EFF set trends” 21 “we are not talking to Vavi, we were shocked by @tito_mboweni, he is unemployed. Came to Yengeni to ask NEC deployment.” 22 “ #EFF wants to meet with Numsa because they have common goals. Cant be divided when wanting to unite our people” 23 “Malema denies they are meeting with Numsa, no such thing, but meeting with many other formations of the left” 24 “EFF will visit KZN, EC, WC, Mpumalanga. Will visit house for poor family in Nkandla next to illegitimate structure.” 25 “EFF welcomes the outcome of Numsa special conference, we’re happy that industrialized working class is taking lead against exploitation.” 26 “our leaders stand to lose from our turn to eat. We say they must use public facilities, buy own cars and houses with salary” next part to follow shortly...
