Summary of EFF’s 2024 Manifesto
The EFF (Economic Freedom Fighters) has released its manifesto for the 2024 election. The manifesto was launched at the Moses Mabhiba Stadium in Durban on the 10th of February 2024.
Summary of the Manifesto
The 2024 manifesto of the EFF focuses on Land reform, Employment and Job creation. The 2024 manifesto of the EFF was crafted through public consultation and years of parliamentary experience. It is based on seven cardinal points, and the theme for the 2024 elections is named “OUR LAND AND JOBS NOW. STOP LOAD SHEDDING!”
The seven pillars of the 2024 EFF manifesto are below:
- a. Expropriation of South Africa’s land without compensation for equal redistribution in use.
- b. Nationalisation of mines, banks and other strategic sectors of the economy, without compensation.
- c. Building state and government capacity, which will lead to the abolishment of tenders.
- d. Free quality education, health care, houses and sanitation.
- e. Massive protected industrial development to create millions of sustainable jobs, including the introduction of minimum wage(s) in order to close the wage gap between the rich and the poor, close the apartheid wage gap and promote rapid career paths for Africans in the workplace.
- f. Massive development of the African economy and advocating for a move from reconciliation to justice on the entire continent.
- g. Open, accountable, corrupt-free government and society without fear of victimisation by state agencies.
The EFF intends to achieve her socialist ideology and economic emancipation goals through the below action plan and commitment.
- Land: The EFF revealed that it would ensure that all lands in South Africa will be under the custody of the government and that lands will be redistributed equally.
- Job: The EFF said its government would make job available and it would pass legislation that ensures a minimum wage of R5.5k across board for full time workers and that Mineworkers and Farmworkers be paid higher wage.
- Energy and Electricity Supply: The EFF said load shedding has impeded the economic growth of the country for years and that its government would do everything within its power to boost the generating capacity of Eskom and ensure electricity are distributed to all South Africans at all times.
- Education and Research Development: The EFF highlighted the need for proper education and has assured all that its government would offer free education to all and redesign the curriculum to include economic freedom and indigenous knowledge.
- Public Safety: The EFF manifesto revealed it would ensure the safety of all lives and property by properly equipping the police and guarantee justice and freedom for all by overhauling the South Africa’s law enforcement system.
- National Defence Force: The EFF said its government would prioritise the adequate funding of the National defence force in ensuring they keep up with the duty of protecting the territorial integrity of South Africa.
- Health: The EFF government is promising to strengthen the health system through revitalisation of the primary health care.
