The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) commends the visit by our President and Commander-in-Chief, Julius Malema, to the home of uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party Member of Parliament, Honourable David Skosana, in KwaNdebele, Mpumalanga, following the passing of his mother.
This visit, undertaken in a spirit of compassion and revolutionary solidarity, was to personally convey condolences to the Skosana family and to stand with them in their time of grief. The loss of a mother is a deeply painful and irreplaceable tragedy, as mothers serve as the foundation of our families, communities, and society at large.
President Malema’s presence in the Skosana household reflects the EFF’s principled belief that, despite political differences and organisational affiliations, humanity, dignity, and respect must always take precedence. In moments of mourning, we are reminded that our shared humanity binds us together beyond political lines.
When you are focused on fighting each other and dividing Black people, you must know that you suffer from a chicken view. We do not suffer from a chicken view, we have a giraffe view, we can see what will happen ahead. We must be like the Chinese, who plan for the next 100 years, thinking about what is going to happen in the future. The EFF, therefore, extends its deepest condolences to Honourable Skosana and his family during this difficult time. May the soul of Mama Skosana rest in perfect peace.
The EFF has been criticized for its handling of internal dissent and factionalism.

Interview with a pirate:
There was a pirate who had agreed to do an interview with a local tv station. The reporter was very courteous and professional, giving a bit of background as to the pirate\’s business. She then began interviewing him.
\”So Mr. Longbeard, are there any risks to your business? I see you have a peg leg- how did that come about?\”
\”Well, y\’see I were sailing along the coast of South Africa, looking to plunder some locals when as I boarded the small boat from the ship, a great white shark came up and got my leg clean off. \’twas scary yes, but thus is the life of a pirate.\”
\”Wow, that is pretty scary- well, how about your hook? What happened to your hand with that?\”
\”Oh now that\’s quite the tale, y\’see I were fighting a rival pirate, and we had locked swords. We had been fighting for a few hours, and were both terribly fatigued. I had a bit of exhaustion and confusion, and when I went to block one of his sword blows, I met him with me hand instead of me sword. Took it right off, but it shocked him so much I managed to get him back pretty good and have him submit. So the hook hand was given as a replacement.\”
\”Wow. Simply fascinating. Now, what about your eye patch? How did that happen?\”
\”Well, one day, a seagull was flying overhead, and I looked up. It pooped right in me eye.\”
\”… Well wow. I must admit, I wouldn\’t think just seagull poop could damage the eye that badly.\”
\”Oh, I forgot to mention… it were me first day with the hook.\”
