EFF officially dissolves student command, replaces it with youth command

JOHANNESBURG - The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) has officially dissolved its student command and replaced it with a youth command.

This was one of the resolutions taken at the party’s recent third National People’s Assembly.

The EFFSC was the only youth structure for the party however it only existed in institutions of higher learning.

This meant there was no youth structure for young EFF members who have left higher learning or are outside of it.

Speaking at a media briefing on Monday, EFF leader, Julius Malema said the EFFSC has been dissolved effective immediately.

“A provision has been made to ensure the eff sc remains with its status in institutions of higher learning where the organisation won src elections to avoid attempts by enemy forces to nullify their democratic victories on the basis of their dissolution.”
