A 10-year history of the EFF
Leading up to its 10th anniversary, the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) has invited schools to participate in an essay competition that requires an excellent demonstration of the history of the party.
The EFF was formed on July 26, 2013, by Julius Sello Malema after he was expelled by the African National Congress (ANC) as the president of the ANC youth league. The EFF is currently the third biggest political party in South Africa.
The competition opened on March 10 (Human Rights Month) and will run until April 30 (Freedom Month) with the announcement of the winners to be made in during Youth Month (June).
Under the topic, A 10-year history of the EFF, the essays must cover the sub-themes related to the conditions that led to the formation of the EFF, when and where was it formed, its major turning points over the past 10 years, the key actors of the party and its impact on the country.
The essay competition is open to all public and private secondary school-going Grade 10 to 12 learners in any of South Africa’s official languages: English, IsiZulu, IsiXhosa, Sepedi, Sesotho, Setswana, IsiNdebele, Xitsonga, Tshivenda, SiSwati and Afrikaans.
The Reds Berets said the competition would revive the culture of writing among the youth. “The ability to express oneself in a written form is central to modern life in all and every part of its aspects. With the advent of social media and short text messaging, the art of writing is daily undermined,” the EFF said.
