1 / 11

EFF leader Julius Malema has called for higher social grants in South Africa, including a proposed R4,500 monthly payment for pensioners. Speaking at a party rally in KwaZulu-Natal, he argued that the government could fund the increases by tackling corruption, reducing wasteful spending and cutting deputy minister positions. Malema also called for fully free education, including school uniforms, books and three meals a day. He said stronger state support would help keep children in school and reduce their vulnerability to exploitation.
