The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema says the party has not entered into any coalition agreement.
Malema was speaking at the Sekhukhune Sports ground at Winnie Mandela informal settlement in Tembisa during the Siyanqoba Rally.
The rally was to thank supporters, volunteers, members and officials for voting during the recent local elections.
The EFF has so far not been able to strike a coalition agreement with any major political party in the hung metros.
He vowed that the party would not enter into any coalitions.
“There is no coalition that the EFF will get into. We are on our own, we sleep well at night because white people say they can work with any party but not the EFF. It is a good thing because white people are always complaining about the EFF when they speak.
“It is because they know that the EFF will never surrender or succumb to whiteness. We don’t have bosses we are our own bosses as the EFF,” Malema told supporters.
He urged all parties to unite on Monday as the various metros start voting in new mayors.
The EFF leader also spoke about the ongoing conversation about party funding in light of the release of the party funding report by the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC).
“Before you say the EFF must declare donations, go and look at who is giving donations.”
Malema explained that when you look at the racial make-up of donors, it would soon become clear that the EFF (and their values) would therefore not be getting any donations.
“Donations are given by the Oppenheimers and you say ‘we want to nationalise the mines,’ the mines of South Africa belong to the Oppenheimers. When you say ‘we want to nationalise the mines,’you have declared a war against the Oppenheimers.”
He accused the prominent family of funding all the liberal political movements in an effort to get them to unite against the EFF’s call for the expropriation of land without compensation.
Malema claimed that the EFF is funded mostly by the small amounts given by their ordinary supporters.
