{{South Africa’s opposition Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema has claimed that the ANC has planted agent provocateurs to destabilise his new party in the same manner that the governing party destroyed the Congress of the People (Cope) and other black-led parties.}} <\/p>\n
\u201cThey are being used as infiltrators to collapse the EFF, render it dysfunctional and impose the same fate as all opposition parties since 1994 that were started and led by black leadership,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
