Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) commander-in-chief Julius Malema has promised the residents of Malamulele in Limpopo that their new municipality will be like Soweto under his party's council.
Malema was addressing his supporters in Gandlanani Village in Malamulele, Limpopo on Sunday.
"Malamulele must be beautiful like Soweto. It is long that you have been suffering. When the EFF runs the new Malamulele municipality we will hire local people because they have been forgotten for the past 22 years. Rather than give jobs to Venda-speaking people because they have been benefiting from Thulamela municipality, jobs will come to you," said Malema.
The opposition politician reiterated his promise to build better RDP houses than the ones built by the African National Congress government.
"As EFF we will build you RDP houses that have a good kitchen, two beautiful bedrooms and flushing toilets rather than the disastrous RDP houses that the ANC has built over the past 22 years of democracy," said Malema.
Malema added that schoolgirls will get free sanitary pads under an EFF council.
"Most of our young girls miss school because they can't afford to buy pads. The government must give our young girls free sanitary towels as they afford to give free condoms. It shows that they do have money," he said.
The EFF leader warned the Malamulele residents against voting for the ANC.
"Don't vote for the ANC because you will be voting for somebody who is corrupt and knows nothing about how to run the country, but to steal money from the country," said Malema.
