Former Fees Must Fall activist Mcebo Dlamini has made a mockery of the Economic Freedom Fighters’ (EFF) new-found support by white people.
MCEBO DLAMINI JOKES ABOUT WHITE EFF SUPPORTERS
“I wonder where the EFF found these poor colonial settlers,” Mcebo Dlamini questioned on his post which ended with jocular emojis.
However, what Mcebo Dlamini might not be privy to is the EFF has over the years attracted white supporters whom somehow align with the ethos of the party.

THE PARTY HAS A TRACK RECORD OF WHITE SUPPORTERS
To solidify this, last year the EFF had a white candidate for a by-election that took place in the City of Tshwane.
Jozias Mahube-Reinecke was given preference by the party to run for the councillor position in Ward 42.
The party described Jozias Mahube-Reinecke as a young and selfless fighter who will ensure the services of that community.

CRITICISM OVER THE ‘INSENSTIVE’ REMARKS
Nevertheless, sensitive fighters to the post were quick to put Mcebo Dlamini to order.
William Mabena said, “Since when is a state of being poor a laughing matter? If you are heartless you are heartless… People just hide behind a default melanin”.
Sphamandla Big-Fish Jesus Manqele said, “In the founding EFF manifesto it is clearly stated what to be done or what is the stand with regards to the white working class. The Economic Freedom Fighters does not hate them but the system”.
Splashmatix Art-Dezigns said, “We can debate that my leader. Very debatable especially the Land question and race… I don’t agree with your assertions… But I must say that with the post I am just being silly and petty. I mean no malice, I just decided to find humour in it. We laugh. We pass”.
In conclusion, Dlamini explained to those touched that the post was nothing more than just a joke.
“Salute Fighter… We are just being silly.. Not questioning anything in particular.”
