{Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema will not inspect President Jacob Zuma’s controversial private Nkandla homestead in KwaZulu-Natal on Saturday, senior EFF leaders said on Friday.}<\/p>\n
Malema is due to hand over a house the party built for a woman and her children within 500 metres of Zuma’s homestead.<\/p>\n
EFF “central command team” member Sipho Mbatha said: “He is not going to visit the palace. We don’t want things to get too excited.”<\/p>\n
EFF KwaZulu-Natal convenor Vusi Khoza also said Malema would not be inspecting Zuma’s residence.<\/p>\n
Khoza said EFF workers had been told they could not build the house wearing EFF clothing.<\/p>\n
He said the local chief told the EFF their workers could build the house as long as they did not wear party regalia.<\/p>\n
“We just respected him, but we are there each and every day. Maybe later when EFF is in power we can convert it [Zuma’s Nkandla home] into an educational facility,” said Khoza.<\/p>\n
