The following document was allegedly leaked from the EFF National Convention. Please somebody, what do you make of this The 25 Points 1 We demand the union of all Azanians in a Great South Africa on the basis of the principle of self-determination of all peoples. 2 We demand that the Azanian people have rights equal to those of other nations; and that the Truth and Reconcilliation Commission shall be abrogated. 3 We demand land and territory for the maintenance of our people and the settlement of our population. 4 Only those who are our fellow countrymen can become citizens. Only those who have Afrikan blood, regardless of creed, can be our countrymen. Hence no Jew can be a countryman. 5 Those who are not citizens must live in South Africa as foreigners and must be subject to the law of aliens. 6 The right to choose the government and determine the laws of the State shall belong only to citizens. We therefore demand that no public office, of whatever nature, whether in the central government, the province, or the municipality, shall be held by anyone who is not a citizen. We wage Struggle against the corrupt parliamentary administration whereby men are appointed to posts by favour of the party without regard to character and fitness. 7 We demand that the State shall above all undertake to ensure that every citizen shall have the possibility of living decently and earning a livelihood. If it should not be possible to feed the whole population, then aliens (non-citizens) must be expelled from the country. 8 Any further immigration of non-Azanians must be prevented. We demand that all non-Africans who have entered South Africa since August 2, 1914, shall be compelled to leave the country immediately. 9 All citizens must possess equal rights and duties. 10 The first duty of every citizen must be to work mentally or physically to develop a better life for all. No individual shall do any work that offends against the interest of the community to the benefit of all. Therefore we demand: 11 That all unearned income, and all income that does not arise from work, be abolished. 12 Since every Struggle imposes on the people fearful sacrifices in blood and treasure, all personal profit arising from the Struggle must be regarded as treason to the people. We therefore demand the total confiscation of all Struggle profits. 13 We demand the nationalization of all trusts. 14 We demand profit-sharing in large industries. 15 We demand a generous increase in old-age pensions. 16 We demand the creation and maintenance of a sound middle-class, the immediate communalisation of large stores which will be rented cheaply to small trades people, and the strongest consideration must be given to ensure that small traders shall deliver the supplies needed by the State, the provinces and municipalities. 17 We demand an agrarian reform in accordance with our national requirements, and the enactment of a law to expropriate the owners without compensation of any land needed for the common purpose. The abolition of ground rents, and the prohibition of all speculation in land. 18 We demand that ruthless Struggle be waged against those who work to the injury of the common welfare. Traitors, usurers, profiteers, etc., are to be punished with death, regardless of creed or race. 19 We demand that Roman law, which serves a materialist ordering of the world, be replaced by African common law. 20 In order to make it possible for every capable and industrious African to obtain higher education, and thus the opportunity to reach into positions of leadership, the State must assume the responsibility of organizing thoroughly the entire cultural system of the people. The curricula of all educational establishments shall be adapted to practical life. The conception of the State Idea (science of citizenship) must be taught in the schools from the very beginning. We demand that specially talented children of poor parents, whatever their station or occupation, be educated at the expense of the State. 21 The State has the duty to help raise the standard of national health by providing maternity welfare centres, by prohibiting juvenile labour, by increasing physical fitness through the introduction of compulsory games and gymnastics, and by the greatest possible encouragement of associations concerned with the physical education of the young. 22 We demand the abolition of the regular army and the creation of a national army. 23 We demand that there be a legal campaign against those who propagate deliberate political lies and disseminate them through the press. In order to make possible the creation of an African press, we demand: (a) All editors and their assistants on newspapers published in the nation shall be South African citizens. (b) Newspapers shall only be published with the express permission of the State. (c) All financial interests in or in any way affecting South African newspapers shall be forbidden to non-Azanians by law, and we demand that the punishment for transgressing this law be the immediate suppression of the newspaper and the expulsion of the non-Azanians . Newspapers transgressing against the common welfare shall be suppressed. We demand legal action against those tendencies in art and literature that have a disruptive influence upon the life of our people, and that any organizations that offend against the foregoing demands shall be dissolved. 24 We demand freedom for all religious faiths in the state, insofar as they do not endanger its existence or offend the moral and ethical sense of the African race. The party as such represents the point of view of a secular state, without binding itself to any one particular confession. It fights against the Jewish materialist spirit within and without, and is convinced that a lasting recovery of our people can only come about from within on the principle: COMMON GOOD BEFORE INDIVIDUAL GOOD 25 In order to carry out this program we demand: the creation of a strong central authority in the State, the unconditional authority by the political central parliament of the whole State and all its organizations. The formation of professional committees and of committees representing the provinces, to ensure that the laws promulgated by the central authority shall be carried out by the provinces. The leaders of the party undertake to promote the execution of the foregoing points at all costs, if necessary at the sacrifice of their own lives.
