#MarchToSaveLives One of the demands made by the EFF is for the immediate resignation of SAHPRA chairperson Helen Rees.

#MarchToSaveLives Malema says if Helen Rees does not resign in seven days, then they’ll be a sleep in at her house.

“We want a vaccine now and we want her to go. She has become a stumbling block for us getting a vaccine.”

#MarchToSaveLives Malema slams the corruption that has surrounded Covid-19 in the country. He also mentions the delay in reopening Charlotte Maxeke Hospital.

#MarchToSaveLives Malema says the EFF will no longer comply with any Covid-19 regulations. The only regulation the party is willing to entertain is one that involves vaccination.

#MarchToSaveLives Malema: Everything of the EFF is proceeding. Whether on level 5 or not.

“We require no instruction from a man who doesn’t have a plan.”

#MarchToSaveLives Malema says today’s march is “rolling mass action” and the party will not rest until everyone is vaccinated.
