Addressing club members on Sunday via Facebook Live, Shivambu said the EFF's seven cardinal pillars from its founding manifesto are non-negotiable as they are central to the party's fight for economic freedom.
He said that due to the colonisation of SA and the African continent, Africans remain “a defeated people” until they have full ownership of the land and are able to converse in their indigenous languages.
He urged the current generation to continue the fight for emancipation.
“There have been struggles over centuries that sought to give us our rightful place, where we were going to own our land and economy, to drive industrialisation, to have the civilisation that comes with development,” he said, before cautioning that the fight has not been won.
“We have not won the battle yet. There are those who fought it before us.”
