In case you hadn’t heard him shout it from every rooftop, Julius Malema is leading the revolution.

Cool story, bro, but the EFF really dropped the ball at their gala dinner this past Friday with their choice of wine on the table.

Let’s take a quote from the EFF’s official account, in what can be described as Malema’s go-to rallying cry.

You know the one:

What, you thought it was going to something along the lines of ‘kill the boer’? Nah, just the same ol’ WMC angle.

It gets even better:

What does that have to do with the wine on offer? Over to the Citizen:

The Economic Freedom Fighters’ curious choice of wine for their gala dinner on Friday night in Pretoria, ahead of the launch of their elections manifesto this weekend, has left many not only scratching their heads, but accusing the party of hypocrisy.

Political journalist Carien du Plessis tweeted photos of billionaire businessman Johann Rupert’s wine brand Rupert & Rothschild on the tables at the dinner, and added that Malema had even again criticised Rupert on the evening, claiming the EFF was supposedly the only party not in the pockets of so-called white monopoly capital (WMC), and Rupert in particular.

Well, isn’t that helluva hypocritical?

Still, at least JuJu enjoyed himself:

Add a dash of DJing into the mix while we’re at it:

Good times.

Another journalist, Qaanitah Hunter, also joined in the wine faux pas fun, sharing this image from an ANC gala on the same night:

Let’s just hope Bathabile Dlamini wasn’t around, so that everybody could enjoy a glass.

Keen to add another piece to the EFF’s hypocritical pie? Let’s chat about those red overalls, with this reporting by News24:

The EFF’s Floyd Shivambu at the time said the outfits represented working-class South Africans…

“The working class and poor now know they’ve got representatives in Parliament. There is no other organisation which associates itself with the struggles of the poor,” Shivambu said…

Supporters were given the opportunity to purchase an array of EFF merchandise at the party’s manifesto launch in Pretoria on Saturday.

But “working-class” and “poor” supporters might struggle to scrape together the R400 needed to don a red overall. According to Rapport, a normal, blue pair of overalls, used for manual labour, costs R150.

The paper found that an overall with short sleeves cost R650, with the extra R250 going toward having an embroidered EFF logo on your chest.

An EFF “pilot’s” outfit will set you back R1 200, a red beret R100, a hoodie R250, and a red tracksuit R850 (in red – a black tracksuit costs R950).

A blue overall costs you R150, but a red overall with the EFF logo costs R650? I guess red paint and some stitching adds up.

As ever, the party of the people.
