This comes after the EFF this week rejected the
Constitutional Amendment Bill which seeks to allow for land expropriation
without compensation.
Opposition political parties voted against it for different
reasons. The ANC needed 267 votes to pass the bill into a law, but only managed
to get 204.
Ndlozi on Wednesday said his party rejected the bill
because of the offer made by the ANC, claiming it was unreasonable.
“ANC wants expropriation of land without compensation only
in certain circumstances. EFF wants expropriation of land without compensation,
period.
“ANC thinks we are fools, the ‘circumstances’ option means
prime land will never be given to black people without compensation,” alleged
Ndlozi.
Ndlozi claimed the ANC is an “enemy of total
decolonisation” and not a liberation movement.
“Have no superstitions about ANC. No sentimental
attachments whatsoever. You are not a liberation movement if you don’t take
back the land. Liberation was about the land. Not in ‘certain circumstances’,
but in all circumstances,” he said.
Former finance minister Tito Mboweni has come out guns
blazing, slamming the EFF and its leader Julius Malema for not supporting the
ANC on the amendment of section 25 of the constitution to allow for land
expropriation without compensation.
Mboweni said the EFF, “being Bakuninists, as they are”,
seem to have forgotten or not know what a tactical advance is.
“One step forward, two steps back. Trade unionists would
say something in the bag! Next step by step,” said Mboweni.
He also criticised Malema.
“EFF should have supported the ANC on the section 25
amendment! Shame EFF and Julius Malema. Then tactically advance their position,
step by step,” he said. Times
