I am very concerned about the way EFF is conducting itself in and out parliament.

Julius Malema's continued outbursts suggest he has not learned anything from his expulsion from the ANC Youth League .

I don't see the EEF lasting with this kind of behaviour.

We have local elections coming and some of us want to vote for policies that will take South Africa forward. I am afraid I don't see that in the EFF or Agang.

As for the ANC, it needs bold leaders, not the current indecisive ones.

Julius Malema is following in Adolf Hitler's footsteps.

Look at his behaviour, the berets, the uniforms, his racial hatred, his destruction of property and his push to expropriate.

So many similarities make me think he has studied Hitler's rise to power and has fitted it to his own political agenda.

I believe Malema is a very dangerous man who has the potential to destroy our beloved country. All hard-working South Africans who love their country must unite to stop this man.

Our legal system is useless. Malema has broken many laws, but he is not in prison. Is our country destined to be ruled by a lunatic?

The EFF has made it clear it will fight to achieve economic freedom for the majority in this generation's lifetime.

In the Cuban revolution, Fidel Castro replaced Fulgencio Batista by force.

The Bolsheviks also did it in Russia. The ANC established a military wing to defeat apartheid.

South Africans want change, and it is just a matter of time before there is a full-blown civil war.

It was reported yesterday that the EFF has been charged for the damage it caused at the Gauteng Legislature.

Why have police been so slow to react to striking Numsa workers when they acted so swiftly against the EFF?

The democratic right to strike does not entitle one to trash other peoples' property or deprive them of an income.

Irrespective of whose property is violated, perpetrators should know that consequences will be swift, no matter what the reason.

If the behaviour of EFF members marching onto the Gauteng legislature is anything to go by, we are dealing with a party that does not respect the law.

What have hawkers got to do with the march and the grievances of the EFF?

Hopefully the government will, for once, act.

Hooliganism is a crime, not a protest.

The only benefit of the EFF action was that it showed just how undeserving of political power the party's members are.

Just how contrary can Julius Malema be?

On the one hand, he claims solidarity with the working class. On the other hand, he travels in a Mercedes and when he steps out of his red overalls, he puts on expensive designer wear.
