The Economic Freedom Fighters Commander-in-Chief Julius Malema will on Sunday address the party’s Tshela Thupa rally at the Orlando Stadium in Soweto.
The EFF has confirmed that Malema will address the rally despite the death of this grandmother, Sarah Malema on Saturday.
Malema tweeted about his loss on Saturday.
“Our pillar of strength has fallen, the great tree that provided cooling shades of comfort, love and stability have been uprooted, forever, from our lives. I love you, my confidant…” Malema said.
The EFF has expressed condolences to its leader and the entire Malema family.
President Cyril Ramaphosa has in a statement also offered condolences to Malema.
“This bereavement is felt more sorely because of the special relationship Mr Malema enjoyed with his grandmother. I too have fond memories of Koko Malema following an opportunity I had to speak to her when she was in hospital. It is my hope that Mr Malema will draw strength from his beloved grandmother’s values and her presence in his life,” Ramaphosa said.
