The folks are beholding for honest leaders and Economic Freedom Fighters 02 October 2014 I am blissful to deliberate who we are and what the societies can anticipate. Despite the fact that voluminous general public will want action on the ground we would like to emphasize that planning and consensus is essential. Dismantling a dictatorship like ANC is a complicated task that requires scrupulous scheduling. We are progressively laying the underpinning of our fracas and when we are equipped the realm will perceive and overhear us flamboyant and unblemished. We are tackled with the cruellest and munificently resourced dictatorship of our time. We are creating the national platform within our communities from which we can plan, agree and finally act. We are contented that the vast majority of committed freedom fighters have stayed focused on the ball. They distinguish that it takes period to lay the underpinning and that hastening into below par scheduled skirmishes is the hallmark of strategic naivety. Sundry of the autopsies we are receiving are from folks deeply concerned that their country is sliding down the edge at our watch. Someone even asked If I were a Jew during the time of Hitler would I have kept quiet, do nothing about it or run to a far country for refuge. We have a ten-times Hitler in South Africa and are therefore facing the same situation. We can choose to run away, be silent or we can choose to do something! Our voyage and objectives are very straight and clear; those with ulterior motives will always discover themselves out of tune. Many came because they thought we are dishing out money. When they saw no gravy train, they went away sorrowful. EFF is not a money spinner. Those after money or positions will be disappointed. Some came for positions but found out that we are organised on tasks and not titles that one can wear and parade in the townships. We come to EFF to give our lives and not to stroke our egos. Many people have wondered what is so special about being a member of EFF. Yes there is everything special to be proud of. EFF is not about uniforms and slogans; its about values and beliefs, its more than talking, its about behaviour and action. First, one has to understand what EFF is all about. As stated everywhere on our website effighters.org, EFF is about working together to solve a common problem. While, in the traditional EFF concept, it involved helping the disadvantaged or setting aside provisions for a future crisis, the grander purpose was to instil values of cordial love, collaboration and citizenry. One could not belong to a clan unless they were in love with it, they were prepared to live to its values and defend its interests. When the clan was under a threat, the able bodied did not wait to be asked to defend the clan and those less physically built did not sit idly observing from a distance; they provided support and material provisions to the warriors. To be EFF you must love your country, resources and its intact folks. You are blind to race, color or tribe. You understand that a nation is not built on personalities but more on enduring values of fairness, accountability, inclusiveness and respect of our diversity (FAIR). When our country is under a threat one does not wait to be persuaded to defend it. Those with means, especially the business community and those in the diaspora, need not wait to be begged for the resources. Secondly, one has to believe that we can be free if we commit ourselves. There are many people who are not serious about economic democratic change. Some have no shame in betraying their people for crumbs of bread falling from Zumas dinner table. Many in the opposition like APC, ACDP, FFP, NFP and DA are not sure of anything, you cant tell where they stand. They claim to be in opposition to the dictator Zuma but at many forums they went public in praise of him. Some of them told the people that Zuma was a dictator but quickly roamed the world saying Zuma was part of the solution and even pleaded for apartheid regime to be removed. The men and women in EFF are convinced disciples; they believe that we can free ourselves. We are not waiting for someone from the moon because we are our own liberators. We believe the dictatorship can be dismantled. Zumas reliance on the army generals will not shield him from the demands of the people. Thirdly, one has to embrace the spirit of EFF. You cannot act love unless you fall into it. So is with EFF; you cannot pretend unless you embrace it. When you embrace the spirit of EFF you will discovery ecstasy in being equal with your brethren, you will find comfort in giving more than in grabbing, and you will find more joy in other peoples ideas than yours. You will find two terms in government enough and would rather leave office for someone with better ideas than to hold on until your fourth wife and son grows to take over. When the people suggest a leadership renewal you feel eager to let the new leader in than to target people with different views for persecution. Fourthly, one has to be converted to be EFF. Many people who come to us behave as if changing from their parties to EFF is like changing clothes. In EFF we dont sell uniforms but rather we provide a platform for people to realize their dreams of a free country. When you join EFF you convert from a supporter to a patron. Many need to convert from power seeking to servant seeking. Many boss minded inquirers come to us and ask If I join what role are you going to give me. The answer is nothing. Join EFF and the people will assess what role they can assign you. You dont join EFF to abhor more but to love your motherland and populaces more. In EFF we convert from haters to lovers, from person worship to value based politics, from name calling to policy suggestion, from tribalists to nationalists, from asset grabbers to wealth creators and equitable distribution, from military power to people power. We cultivate from Mugabes doctrine of our votes our guns to our votes our people. Some who come to us have been spoiled kids. They have been bosses all their life. They believe in power and positions. These must convert to thrive in EFF where everyone counts. In EFF position is temporary, respect is not demanded but earned, and no-one is going to shiver in your presence. No one is going to wait five hours in the heat for your speech. If you dont arrive in time people will leave and wait for your apology. Fifthly one has to act and follow the EFF way. We have grown from protesting to resistance. We will not stop short of the destination. We dont rely on one driver. We have so many drivers; in fact everyone can drive. The peoples victory is certain and you dont need a return ticket; we shall never return to ANC, to dictatorship and to personality based politics underwritten by violence. In EFF we have presented ourselves to the improvement of our realm and folks. EFF is not an income generating project written to lure donors. EFF is the march of a people determined to be free and to claim their destiny. It is structured by the people and for the people.
