EFF leader Julius Malema defends the party's decision regarding Naledi Chirwa's position on the candidate list, stating it was not a punishment but a result of a democratic process.
Malema said the criticism of the EFF over Naledi Chirwa was a “manufactured crisis”.said the position of Naledi Chirwa on the party’s candidate list is the result of a democratic process and not a form of punishment.When the red berets’ list was released, there was speculation that Chirwa’s drop in position was due to the EFF losing faith in her after she failed to attend parliament for Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana’s budget speech .“I am regretful for failing to attend parliament.
The apology led to some criticising the EFF for punishing one of its members for having to take care of her young child. Some also questioned if the party was committed to gender equality.“There are 100 women , someone must be 200. Who should be number 200 and who shouldn’t be? Why do you want to undermine democratic outcomes out of a manufactured crisis that is non-existent?” he said.Malema added that if he had a problem with Chirwa, she would not be on the list.
