{{Afrikaners, including some farmers, also believe in economic freedom, according to a white Economic Freedom Fighters communications and media strategist, Beeld reported on Wednesday.}}<\/p>\n
“Some of them also believe in economic freedom,” Kim Heller was quoted as saying.<\/p>\n
{“I believe any South African who has an interest in democracy will be interested in the economic freedom that the EFF seeks.”}<\/p>\n
According to the report, Heller had been voting for the African National Congress since 1994 but had now joined the EFF.<\/p>\n
“I thought the EFF offers a real alternative. I support the party fully.”<\/p>\n
Support for the EFF was growing among white people, she said.<\/p>\n
Heller is on the EFF’s national and Gauteng lists.<\/p>\n
In February, EFF leader Julius Malema called on white people to join the party to get their hands on land.<\/p>\n
“White people must join the struggle for land. Only two percent of whites own land. If they want land, they must join EFF,” he said at the time.<\/p>\n
He said the EFF was not an anti-white party but a vanguard for the working class.<\/p>\n
“That includes the white workers,” he said.<\/p>\n
However, in October Malema said the land belonged to the landless and white South Africans were still refusing to hand over the land they inherited “through theft”.<\/p>\n
“Till today they [whites] are not ashamed of killing our people. They want us to kneel before them,” he said at the time.<\/p>\n
“We are not going to do that. We are not going to beg for the land. Bring back the land.”<\/p>\n
