Brackenfell: EFF remained disciplined and militant

Fighters say they will return to the school should their demands not be met

EFF EXTENDS ITS GRATITUDE TO ALL GROUND FORCES AFTER ANTI-RACISM PROTEST AT BRACKENFELL

Friday, 20 November 2020

The EFF extends its revolutionary gratitude to all Commissars, Fighters and Ground Forces for a show of force against racism and the DA-led police state at Brackenfell today. In the face of deliberate attempts to undermine the program of the EFF, Fighters remained disciplined and militant, and dealt decisively with all forms of provocation.

It was clear from the onset that no genuine engagement could be had with an arrogant police force that resolved that it will protect the interests of racists at all costs. Despite the presence of racist whites, who were armed around Brackenfell High School, it was the black skin that once again was an invitation to violence to South African Police Services (SAPS). Despite this, and countless stun grenades and rubber bullets unleashed on our members, the committed forces of the EFF refused to retreat. For this defiant spirit in the face of a state that exists to protect a white-minority, we commend our members.

The EFF maintains that we will return to Brackenfell High School should all the teachers, the Principal and the School Governing Body involved in organizing and attending a white only matriculant-party not be removed from their positions.

We further reiterate the call for the terrorist Johann Spies to return the beret of the EFF, or the EFF will conduct a door-to-door campaign in Brackenfell to retrieve our symbolic mark of resistance ourselves.

Let us intensify our fight against racism in all of its manifestations. The EFF has proven once again to be a party that is at the forefront of humbling those who think they are rulers in the land of their birth. Fighters and ground forces have exhibited that we are unapologetic about fighting racism decisively, particularly to those who have never had a whiff or sniff of teargas. We have shown the ones who enjoy tears and harassment of black people, that we will never apologize for fighting for our humanity.

Expropriation of land without compensation shall be achieved by all means necessary. We are fighting today because we are landless and thus must never tire until the land is back.

Aluta Continua!
