[00:12:59]I Mandla.

[00:13:29]>> Mandla.

[00:13:31]>> Viva EFF. Viva. Viva.

[00:13:34]>> Viva. EFF. Viva.

[00:13:36]>> Viva.

[00:13:37]>> Viva. EFF Youth Command. Viva.

[00:13:40]>> Viva.

[00:13:41]>> Viva. EFF Youth Command. Viva.

[00:13:44]>> Viva.

[00:13:45]>> Thank you very much.

[00:13:47]uh convenor and coordinator of the youth command and the leadership of the youth command from all over South Africa, the officials of the EFF who have joined us here today.

[00:14:05]We thank all of you for making time to come and engage in this particular meeting that seeks to prepare the youth of the EFF for the next coming elections on the 4th of November 2026.

[00:14:27]We are specifically speaking to you because we have realized that in the majority of elections many young people are not registered to vote and that will include amongst other things the membership of the youth command and the EFF itself where people wear t-shirts of the EFF.

[00:14:56]get into buses of the EFF, go and participate in rallies and activities of the EFF, yet they are not registered to vote.

[00:15:08]Now we have taken a decision as the mother body that for every activity whoever enters a bus or a stadium or wants the t-shirts of the EFF we must first check their ID numbers whether they are registered to vote or not because we are not going to have a FNB full of unregistered people will rather have few people at the FNB but know that this few is better because it is registered to vote.

[00:15:41]So only you can speak the language of the youth. Only you can attract the youth and make sure that the youth vote because the target we have given you is so small that it is it is possible for you to register those young people in order to meet the target of the youth.

[00:16:08]Because for now we not speaking to voters, we are speaking to unregistered voters. We want new voters.

[00:16:17]The ANC and the DA and IFP and all of them. They are not campaigning if you have not realized to register people to vote. Why they are not registered to vote? Because they're not convincing people to register to vote because they want to maintain the old voters role because the old voters role is what put them in government.

[00:16:46]So why do you change that which works for you?

[00:16:50]So nowhere, not even the youth league of the pretends to be campaigning to register people to vote.

[00:17:01]So we were not winning elections because we were relying on the old voters role of the ANC of uh DA of Freedom Front Plus and hoping those DA Freedom Front Plus ANC GNU voters will vote for us. We were wrong.

[00:17:29]So we need to correct that.

[00:17:33]We need to correct that. We need to go all out and go and campaign to register new voters especially young people because young people have got nothing to do with exile.

[00:17:51]No, no, no, no. They've got their own problems. Now when see that you fought you went to exile they like how does that help me now on the TV or at the university you are the ones who are making sure that the libraries are well equipped and if they are not you put up a fight.

[00:18:21]You are the ones who are fighting that NSF first must allocate the allowances on time and pay rental on time because you don't want to see the children of the poor being chased out of accommodation because somebody at NSF got drunk and forgot to pay uh the rentals and the allowances of children but we are the ones who are saying let's do away with NSF and provide money straight to universities because they are the ones who register these people they know how many of those people are there who need this money and the people who make sure that the school is run smoothly.

[00:19:14]So you should not be misled by an argument that seeks to suggest that this money will be misused and and so on and so forth. It is being misused now.

[00:19:29]So let it come to our compasses so that we can see this person who's misusing our money and we can directly confront this person including calling for the removal and arrest and suspension of that particular person who's misusing the money that is meant for the children of the poor.

[00:19:47]We should fight as you are doing that universities must be including TV colleges must be something close to home.

[00:20:03]It can't be that you leave your beautiful home into a worse situation.

[00:20:11]So, universities must be our second home.

[00:20:16]We must make sure that when we send our children, we are not sending our children into a hole but into a second home where they are well looked after.

[00:20:33]Fighting for hot water is not luxury. It's a basic necessity. It's not something we should fight about because I always tell the comrades in the EFF that I met a white hobo in Bulwan.

[00:20:51]A hobo of a white person. Then he came to me. He said he's asking for 100 run.

[00:20:57]I thought I didn't hear him properly. I said come closer. Come here.

[00:21:02]Then he came closer. He asked for 100 run. So I asked him what do you want to do with 100 run? says, "No, I want to go and pay accommodation somewhere there."

[00:21:13]Why do you want to go and pay accommodation when you are a homeless person?

[00:21:18]Because homeless people sleep on the streets. Why do you want to pay for accommodation? Says, "No, accommodation there is cheap, but what makes it even more nicer is that that place has got hot water.

[00:21:34]It's a white man. They never forget they white.

[00:21:38]Even if they are hobble, they are white.

[00:21:43]So you are being made to accept that a compass does not have a hot water.

[00:21:50]You must go and boil water yourselves and things like that while white hobus can't sleep in a place where there is no hot water.

[00:22:02]But you are saying you are a young intelligencia. You are not a hobu seated here but you don't have hot water where you come from in your village and township leave the hot water. There is no water. A white robe wants hot water because they never forget that they are white. Meaning they never forget that they are human beings.

[00:22:30]So we accept the conditions that are provided to us which are inferior and less and a white hobu can't accept that.

[00:22:46]How do you say you're building us houses RDP houses and then you put a key the same key for all RDP houses?

[00:22:58]Do you know that all our DP houses their key is Y9?

[00:23:03]Y9 all of them.

[00:23:09]Why nine?

[00:23:15]Because we have no right to privacy.

[00:23:18]They can any time come and open there.

[00:23:21]But equally they are not building houses.

[00:23:25]They're just building shacks and then project them as houses but they don't come with any dignity.

[00:23:39]You have accepted that and never fought that we cannot have a government that treat us like hobos.

[00:23:54]Even a white hobo is better than us.

[00:23:58]He sleeps in a place where there is hot water.

[00:24:03]If they were taking us serious, why do you go into a vig area at the opposite direction of a city, find a bush, debush that place and build houses without toilets, without roads, without uh street lights, without and water, without a place of worship, without shopping center, nothing. And you say to people, go and sit there. Go and stay there.

[00:24:41]So human beings don't look for a place to stay.

[00:24:46]They look for a human settlement.

[00:24:51]human settlement will include all of the things I said.

[00:24:56]So you must go and observe where they build metal income houses where there is a vision area. Go and look at them what they do first. They first put an infrastructure.

[00:25:14]They put sewer.

[00:25:16]They put roads. They put storm water.

[00:25:20]They put uh street lights, electricity before they build houses. Houses are the last to be done.

[00:25:31]But with an NC government, houses are the first thing to be done in the bush.

[00:25:38]And then we say they build you a house.

[00:25:44]I mean even if you go for Google definition of a house, it will tell you that it must have a bathroom, it must have all the necessities bedrooms, must have kitchen, must have a lounge and all of that.

[00:26:04]So we call glorified shakes houses because the NC is very good with spinning. Their propaganda is at another level. You must not undermine them. And it doesn't start now.

[00:26:22]It started long time ago. It survived through propaganda.

[00:26:28]They change your mentality to think things are the way they are and therefore they are better things because the NC said so.

[00:26:40]So because you are young, I'm going to give you a challenge. When you go home, you must go and look at that especially those who do law.

[00:26:47]They say when Solomon Matangu was about to be hanged in court, his last words was, "Tell my people I love them.

[00:27:01]Tell my mother that I love her. My blood will nourish a tree that will bear the fruits of freedom."

[00:27:09]He never said that.

[00:27:12]He never said that.

[00:27:16]He never said that.

[00:27:18]But you're sitting here you say you're intellectuals you are hearing for the first time that Solomon Matangu never said that.

[00:27:28]So Solomon Matangu skipped the country when he was 17.

[00:27:32]He had no exposure to any political literature.

[00:27:38]He was at the wrong place at the right time. They left with him.

[00:27:44]First time he saw something closer to political literature was in Muzzambek.

[00:27:50]Then they moved from Muzzanique. They went to Lusaga. The following year such a powerful political statement.

[00:27:59]Where did he learn that the courts since they were established they were recording everything. That's why we call them courts record.

[00:28:13]So every time you speak in court at that time who has literally recording everything you are saying then it becomes a court record.

[00:28:26]Go to the court record of the trial of Solomon Mlangu and find out if he said those things because they would have been recorded at the court.

[00:28:38]There's no one no one has ever I'm not saying this for the first time. No one has ever challenged me on that.

[00:28:45]No one. No one has ever said, "No, his intellectual inferiority is the one that is leading him to say the things he say." No one. Because if you say I'm wrong, you must produce the record of where he said it.

[00:29:02]The police, the records of Hoshimuru prison where he was hanged.

[00:29:08]If you say he said it before they hanged him, he didn't hang himself. Even those who hang themselves, they leave a note.

[00:29:17]He didn't hang himself.

[00:29:19]There were people with him who were hanging him.

[00:29:24]None of them says he said those words before they hanged him.

[00:29:29]Now there was an ANC department called IDP.

[00:29:39]It was department of information and what was publicity.

[00:29:45]One of the first people to head that propaganda machinery of the NC was Tabum and later it became led by Joel Nanz and and the best brains of the ANC were in the DIP department of information and publicity DIP of the NC that's where they were coining KG phrases and slogans One of the slogans they coined was the 1994 election slogan of the ANC.

[00:30:30]Now is the time. Vote ANC.

[00:30:41]and sitting at home.

[00:30:52]So they've made you live under that machinery of propaganda.

[00:31:00]It is failing now because young people are emerging. People are beginning to read on their own. People are now exposed to information. A lot of platforms are now sharing uh information. So we are no longer reliant on SABC.

[00:31:17]Remember we're reliant on SABC.

[00:31:20]And SABC decides decides what you must hear.

[00:31:27]You don't hear what you want to hear.

[00:31:30]The SABC decide what you must hear.

[00:31:37]to the RDP.

[00:31:43]They've been preparing before the cameras come or when they come.

[00:31:50]You must even crush him. You must even cry. There are some women who are surrounding you who are you know messing up your mind and then people they given RDP houses and then they start crying and all of you you are catched by those emotions but they show you a proper sh and then they show you a glorif accept that this thing is not proper that's why you are saying it's better than nothing. You never said wow.

[00:32:27]Because you know it's not wow.

[00:32:30]So we black people deserve wow. Not is better than nothing than nothing. It's not what we deserve.

[00:32:41]It's not what we deserve.

[00:32:44]If that was for human beings, why is ser not sleeping in those houses?

[00:32:50]Why are those counselors and mayors and premers and MEC's ministers, deputy ministers not being provided the same houses because those houses are houses for human beings? They too are human beings.

[00:33:06]They are not better than us.

[00:33:10]Most of them illiterate.

[00:33:15]So it is your duty as the young intelligencia to go and educate society that this is not ours in every town you go to every town an area which was allocated to poor whites houses built for them and given to that's where your mothers and fathers were A king as kitchen girls and kitchen boys working for poor whites.

[00:33:50]I'm not interested in those houses. They are beautiful houses, way better than those houses of uh NC. I'm interested in the yard.

[00:34:00]If you go into that town and look at those houses, what is going to be outstanding for you is that a house is built in the middle of a big yard because white regime was not condemning them to permanent poverty. They knew that one day when their things are fine, they may want to change this house into a different better house. They must have land to extend it if they so wish.

[00:34:31]We are being condemned into permanent poverty.

[00:34:39]The whole RDP I want to extend. I've got money.

[00:34:47]When you go home, you must go and try it and try building I mean drawing a plan to extend that house. with your own feet. Just do a plan with your feet.

[00:34:59]Before you know it, you have jumped next door. The feet has gone next door.

[00:35:05]Because they condemning you into a permanent poverty. They are saying to you, you will never be anything except being this RDP. That's you.

[00:35:21]If you can't give us proper houses, at least give us land.

[00:35:28]Our children are going to school. One day they'll get a proper job and come and build a proper house here. You are denying them even an opportunity when they get empowered to come back and empower their families by not giving their families land. Land is ours.

[00:35:51]You don't have to spend anything. That's why you came here to build RDP. It's a confirmation. It is our land. Give us proper land where we'll be able to do small scale farming at the back of our yard so that we can feed ourselves because our granny's did that. Even with our part houses there was still a pushing way they could still plant moral.

[00:36:26]So we are condemned into a permanent poverty.

[00:36:30]It is only a younger generation that is going to rise and say this is not for us.

[00:36:38]This is not for us. We worth more than this. Before you are a student, you are a member of society and the problems of society affect you as a student. So you don't say I'm a UC I don't have problems of this nature. No, there's Kylea.

[00:37:03]The problems of Kylea are your problems.

[00:37:08]Once you become a student activist and you want to leave it there, you must know you will never amount to nothing.

[00:37:18]Your student activism must be subjected to community activism, to youth activism outside the campus.

[00:37:33]If you want to become a student activities there in the campus, you must know you are going to become a campus celebrity.

[00:37:42]And when you a compass is too small for a celebrity. When you walk around the campus, people are screaming your name, fighter, fighter, fighter.

[00:37:55]But when you go to the village, no one says fighter fighter. That's why you must realize I'm not an activist here.

[00:38:01]Therefore, I must become an activist here.

[00:38:08]I must become an activist.

[00:38:11]You must be a community member, a community leader. Deal with community issues before you even become a campus activist.

[00:38:21]It's a limited time.

[00:38:23]Even if you want to become a permanent resident at the campus, no problem. You can fail and fail and fail.

[00:38:31]But one day you shall return to the village and then you are going to find those problems still existing at the village.

[00:38:45]You must be the ones who fight rape in compasses.

[00:38:50]You must be the ones who fight abuse in campuses.

[00:38:55]>> That activism must start there by loving the student and saving the students and becoming better people in the campuses and leading and leading by example.

[00:39:11]You can't wear EFF t-shirts every day.

[00:39:16]You are scaring students and the youth.

[00:39:22]You are scaring the students and the youth. They are scared to join because they think that is a requirement.

[00:39:31]Or once fighter fighter fighter fight our regalia is not a badge of ZCC that you must always carry.

[00:39:49]Uh-uh.

[00:39:52]An activist means an allrounder.

[00:39:56]Allrounder. We must find you in church.

[00:40:00]We must find you popping at the club.

[00:40:03]>> We must find you.

[00:40:09]We must find you.

[00:40:14]must find you at community meetings.

[00:40:18]>> Everywhere where human beings are found, >> the EFF must be there. That's what activism means.

[00:40:29]And remember, we don't allow EFF regalia at the clubs because you are going to get drunk and vomit there with our uniform and then they say no fighters are drunkers because of you. Mm- These ones are proper people.

[00:41:04]When you go to a club nicely dressed, you must not be swallowed by a club. You must swallow the club into the EFF.

[00:41:20]When you go to church, you must not be followed by the church. You must swallow the church into the EFF everywhere. When you go to when you find an opportunity to tataza eff what they ask you for a date, you must just find a way of mentioning EFF or no I will come to the date because I had already confirmed to attend EFF meeting but I'll come there but we must find a way of just talking about EF FF EFF has got such smart people, beautiful people, handsome men in passing.

[00:42:16]>> EFF.

[00:42:18]So we live EFF, we die EFF.

[00:42:23]>> There's no moment where we are not EFF.

[00:42:27]Now we're going to give it each one of you a target of high schools.

[00:42:36]Now the story is he said seven high schools right EFF public representatives counselors uh MPs and uh MPs.

[00:42:56]Now we even have MEC, MMC's and all of that.

[00:43:01]All of us combined that category we are 1,000 say to each and every public representative go to your high school and bring us this number from where you went to school. bring us this number of newly registered student go and register them not anywhere where you went to school that's where you start all of you before you going to start the TV and this and that you are going to start where you went to school because that's where all of them who are writing metric are turning 18 So already you've got people here and the target we're going to give you is so small small.

[00:43:58]If you realize I these ones are giving me a tough time you go and look for t-shirt of your target and you put a table they say when you register I give you a t-shirt. You register them.

[00:44:15]Now then we are going to have a target of campuses TV universities.

[00:44:25]You go there.
