The ANC has been shaken: EFF
Disruptions to the Economic Freedom Fighter's community gatherings in KwaZulu-Natal this weekend have ruffled political feathers.
The party's president Julius Malema wrapped up a three-day visit to the province in Umlazi south of Durban yesterday.
He addressed about a thousand supporters at the Comtech High School sports grounds.

Malema said the disruptions show that the African National Congress has been shaken.
He had been commenting on a incident in Esikhawini near Richards Bay on Saturday.
''I'm not here to fight anyone, why should I be thrown with stones? Why should I be thrown with bottles? When I only came to share the EFF manifesto with those who care to listen. I never forced them to come here, why do you fight with us for speaking power? Truth to power,'' he asked.
Meanwhile, Malema says the ANC fought for the freedom of political association and should celebrate the EFF's growth.
''They fought during apartheid for the EFF to be formed, they don't know that they fought for that. They fought for anyone to form a political party of his choice without being intimidated,'' he said.
