EFF: What’s Happening with the Economic Freedom Fighters

Want straight-up updates on the EFF? This tag page collects our reporting and analysis on the Economic Freedom Fighters — from leadership moves to protests and policy fights. If you follow South African politics, the EFF’s headlines matter: they set the tone in parliament, push bold economic ideas, and spark public debate.

What we cover

We focus on the concrete stuff. Who’s leading the party, what policies they push (like land reform or nationalisation), and how those ideas play out on the ground. Expect reporting on rallies, court battles, and high-profile statements by party leaders. You’ll also find pieces that connect EFF actions to wider issues — for example, how political tensions link to social problems such as xenophobia or service delivery failures.

We aim to explain the why and the how, not just the who. Why does the EFF call for radical economic change? How could their proposals affect ordinary people? Our stories break down the likely impacts, the legal hurdles, and the political alliances that matter.
