I would like to take this opportunity to thank the March and March leaders, as well as each and every influencer who publicly and unapologetically campaigned against the EFF ahead of the elections. Your efforts did not weaken the EFF. Instead, they motivated EFF members and supporters to go all out during this year's elections, particularly the youth of this country. The youth basically said, "Hold my beer, ka EFF lekanyela!" and went out in numbers to cast their votes. It is safe to report that the EFF has now surpassed 1.2 million votes and won more than 72 wards. Why is this important? It is important because these are clean, organic votes that the EFF has received. These are votes earned through the commitment and determination of people who believe in the organisation, rather than votes driven by political pressure, manufactured popularity and spreading of propaganda. Sometimes, the loudest opposition can unintentionally become an organisation's greatest mobilisation campaign. To everyone who spent their time campaigning against the EFF, thank you. You may have done more to mobilise it's supporters than you realise!
