The EFF statement on the successful regional peoples assemblies

21 October 2014

The Economic Freedom Fighters congratulates the Tshwane and Mangaung EFF regions for holding successful elective Regional Peoples Assemblies over the past weekend. In each region the EFF branches in good standing from across the region gathered for the first time since the formation of the EFF to deliberate on the state of the organisation and political conditions faced by the peoples of these regions. The properly constituted branches of these regions, through their delegates, also elected leadership that was given a mandate for the broader realisation of economic freedom in our lifetime.

The following fighters were therefore the newly elected leadership, which means in these regions there is no longer an interim appointed structure, but duly elected leadership collective with a constitutional mandate:

Tshwane Region:

1. Benjamin Disoloane As Chairperson
2. Moafrika Mabogwane As Deputy Chairperson
3. Khumbuzile Bavu As Secretary
4. Ntebo Mnguni As Deputy Secretary
5. John Lekgothoane As Treasurer

And Additional:

1. Brenda Phukile
2. Lesego Mgomezulu
3. Magauta Legodi
4. Precious Lenono
5. Judy Sibiya
6. Kgabo Mothatha
7. Terry Maboa
8. Lefagahlele Matjie
9. Kitinki Mazwi
10. Sipho Benjamin Tshabane

Mangaung Region:

1. Mapheule Liphoko as Chairperson
2. Vicki Motloung as Deputy Chairperson
3. Thekisho Tekane as Secretary
4. Anita Maris as Deputy Secretary
5. Gopolang Lipale as Treasurer

And Additional:

1. Tsholo Ratshome
2. Mamaki Mile
3. Sabata Seihleko
4. Masentle Tsamane
5. Masabata Motshoane
6. Lusindiso Ngamlana
7. Mpho Kometsi
8. Boitumelo Radebe
9. Pakiso Makhanya
10. Ikanyeng Khailele

These regions have sent an excellent example for the rest of the country and put the EFF on the map as an organisation that is here to stay. Furthermore, these regions have confirmed the road to the National Peoples Assembly where all duly constituted branches, regions and provinces of the EFF, together with the CCT will sit to chart the next stage of the economic emancipation movement.
