The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema says the party will fight criminality and corruption if elected into government after Wednesday\u2019s elections.<\/p>\n

Malema says this includes fighting corruption among politicians.<\/p>\n

The leader of the country\u2019s third largest party addressed party supporters at the Peter Mokaba stadium in Polokwane, Limpopo.<\/p>\n

The party is holding its final \u201cTshela Thupa\u201d rally<\/a> as the country gears up for Wednesday\u2019s polls.<\/p>\n

Malema says as part of tackling corruption, the party will raid President Cyril Ramaphosa\u2019s Phala Phala farm where a substantial amount of US dollars was stolen.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are ready to lead the government of South Africa from now onwards. We are ready to fight all kinds of criminals in our country including the corruption of the politicians. No politician will be left unattended.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cComrades, when we take over South Africa, we are going to open Phala Phala and we are going to raid Phala Phala because we suspect there are more dollars left at Phala Phala.\u201d<\/p>\n

Malema says the apartheid regime did not end in 1994.<\/p>\n

He says the high municipal rates and taxes are a deliberate attempt to keep the black majority from affluent spaces.<\/p>\n

The EFF leader says South Africans cannot claim to be liberated when the unemployment rate is the highest in the world and when inequality is rife.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you want to buy a house, you don\u2019t qualify for a bond. When you want to buy a car, you don\u2019t qualify for finance. When you want to open a small business, you don\u2019t qualify for finance. When you want to go to university, you don\u2019t qualify for finance.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, you want to go and swim. If you don\u2019t have money, you will never go and swim. How can you be free when we are going through hunger? When more than 40% of the young people of South Africa are unemployed,\u201d explains Malema.<\/p>\n
