“Good political decision by the CIC president of EFF.”

Phillip Mosiapoa mentioned:

“Your majesty we won’t be involved. We are peacekeeping people, Viva EFF.”

Kamo Jeremy wrote:

“After Malema was banned from Parliament, he is trying to be a man. Hooliganism won’t be tolerated boy, you will watch SONA and the budget speech on TV.”

Jacob Skosana added:

“Forward EFF, forward. ✊”

Siya Khalanga posted:

“Good advice.”

Pan_Africanist commented:

“I see the ANC tried to provoke fighters, not knowing that we are the most politically tolerant organisation.”

Tukkies added:

“Good work, getting all the students to register to vote for the ANC. The EFF is good as an opposition.”

Economic Freedom Fighters to miss SONA

In another article, Briefly News reported that the EFF will have to sit the State of the Nation out after their attempt at lifting the ban they received from attending Parliament was dismissed.

The party allegedly filed their papers late, and the matter was struck off the Western Cape High Court. The party made the application a week before the SONA was expected to be delivered.
