The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) said it believes no party can win with an absolute majority in KwaZulu-Natal. Intensifying its efforts ahead of the May 29 vote, the party campaigned in areas of northern KwaZulu-Natal.
These were strongholds of the African National Congress (ANC) and the Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP).
With less than a month left until the general election, political party campaigns are intensifying across the country. This week, several political parties, including the EFF, campaigned in the battleground province of KwaZulu-Natal.
“Remember that in 2019 we went from 80,000 votes to over 300,000 votes. No one expected that in this province. We show up at the eThekwini hostel. , usually a no-go area, the territory of the IFP and the ANC. But as we speak today, the EFF has been accepted. They are getting our message. 's manifesto is clearly about commitments, not empty promises,'' says EFF Executive Director Marshall Dlamini.
The party said it was working to ensure that no party had an absolute majority in KwaZulu-Natal.
“The fact of the matter is that even if the EFF were to stop campaigning today, no one would win in this state. We have a strong base of support. No one is going to win this province. But we need to do more on the ground, so we are moving across the province in rallies and door-to-door. ”

Local residents spoke out and called for change. One young man said he was concerned about Mtubatuba's high crime rate.
“Crime rates are high in our country, and when you call the police station, you don't get much help. We want to see change in this area so that everyone can be free. I would love to be part of the build-up, maybe they can keep the young people busy with the sport.”
Some expressed concern about the unemployment rate. “When it comes to employment issues, everyone should get the job that's right for them. Age and gender shouldn't matter.”
