JOHANNESBURG – Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema has encouraged the country’s youth to register for voting in the upcoming 2024 elections, saying this will go a long way in shaping the future they desire.

Malema addressed party members in the small farming town of Breyeten in Mpumalanga on Saturday morning. The EFF recently claimed victory in by-elections in the area.
