Why EFF shouldn't be allowed to register as a political Party-FF Plus, PD Uys, 20 August 2013.
Test of the two letters from Front's SG PD Uys to the IEC, 16 August 2013.
LETTER ONE.
The Electoral Commission
Riverside Office Park
1303 Heuwel Avenue
Centurion
Dear Madam/Sir.
OBJECTION: REGISTRATION AS PARTY:ECONOMIC FREEDOM FIGHTERS.
1. We have learned from the Pretoria News of 16 August 2013, page, that EFF has submitted documents to register as a Political Party. Their advertisement was published in the Government Gazette of 2 August 2013.
2. It is herewith requested that this objection from Freedom Front Plus be registered. Amongst other things, the FF Plus objects because we have already experienced confusion on social media platforms between the abbreviations EFF and FF Plus.
3. The FF Plus will appeciate a thorough explanation of the verdict of the Electoral Commission regarding this objection.
Yours Sincerely.
LETTER TWO, 16 August 2013.
The Electoral Commission
Riverside Oice Park
1303
Centurion
Dear Madam/Sir.
SECOND OBJECTION: REGISTRATION AS A PARTY:ECONOMIC FREEDOM FIGHTERS.
1. In addition to the first objection, the FF Plus would like to add the following issued that further support our objection against registration of the EFF as a Political Party:
a. We believe that the registration of EFF at the IEG would unconstitutional as the EFF propagates nationalization of Land, bankd and other assets without compensation and specifically so upon a racial basis. Neither nationalization nor racial discrimination is allowed in terms of the constitution.
b. The present leader of EFF, Julius Malema, has been found guilty of hate speech by High Court of South Africa for singis of the 'Kill the Boer, Kill the Farmer' sang, which has since been prohibited from further use. Malema's use of this sang was designed to create racial polarization and stir up emotion against a certain racial and ethnic group, which represents unconstitutional conduct. To date, Julius Malema as leader of EFF has shown no remorse and we believe he will continue with such unconstitutional acts, amongst others, by making use of the EFF as a vehicle for advancing such discriminatory policies and acts.
c. Lastly, the word Fighters that forms part of the EFF name is inappropriate for democratic dispensation where political parties are contest elections in a democratice manner.
2. The above stated policies and conduct is part and parcel of the EFF's belief-system and, accordingly due to its unconstitutional basis, we believe that the IEC will never in its constitutional mandate if the EFF is allowed to be registered.
We shall be willing to provide any evidence to support our submission should you so wish..
Yours Sincerely
PD UYS.
SG of Freedom Front Plus.
