EFF CALLS UK COWARDS

THE Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) has slammed the United Kingdom’s decision to deny its leader Julius Malema a visa again, an act of “cowardice.”

Malema was initially invited to speak at Cambridge University in May 2025 but was barred from entry with the UK government saying Malema’s presence in Britain is “not conducive to the public good.”

Key reasons included Malema’s “support for Hamas”, an organisation banned in the UK under terrorism laws, as well as his past remarks seen as inciting racial division, like singing "Kill The Boer".

EFF spokesperson Sinawo Thambo hit back saying said the UK had “effectively banned the President of the EFF due to his position about the genocide of the Palestinian people, his expressed support for the resistance movement fighting against the genocidal Israeli regime, as well as his and the EFF’s stance on racial inequality in South Africa.”
