Pretoria – The dress code for ministers will change when the Economic Freedom Fighters win the elections, leader Julius Malema said on Sunday.
He said when he goes to Parliament, he would be dressed in his red work suit and beret.
“They wear suits, that’s why they are lazy,” he said.
“They are servants, they are supposed to serve us. You can’t build an RDP [house] with a tie.”
He said even if he was to be inaugurated as president, he would wear the same attire.
Malema was addressing thousands of his supporters at the “Masterpieces” Lucas Moripe stadium in Atteridgeville, Pretoria during his party’s Tshela Thupa rally.
Supporters braved the heat to attend the party’s final push to urge voters to go to the polls. More than 30 000 people filled the stands and cheered when the EFF leader entered the venue.
Some people climbed on the perimeter fence to get a glimpse of him, risking injury in the process.
Malema appealed to South Africans to give his party five years in government.
“We don’t want 20 years in government, we are only asking for five years. If we don’t deliver, fire us. Show us the door and say we want hard workers.”
