EFF slams UK over Malema visa row
Image Credit: sabcnews- EFF leader Julius Malema criticized the British High Commission for failing to process his UK visa, which prevented him from speaking at the Cambridge Africa Together Conference.
- The EFF described the delay as bureaucratic suppression aimed at silencing political dissent and condemning Malema’s critique of UK imperialism and the British monarchy’s colonial history.
- The party asserted that the UK is suppressing academic freedom and retaliating against Malema for his condemnation of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair’s role in the Iraq war.
- Despite the visa setback, the EFF remains committed to building global solidarity against imperialism and capitalism.
